Nick Diaz Post-Fight Press Conference Highlights

[MrSone1975]

I thought that was a great interview for Nick... He has a accomplished alot and I'm sure there is still more to come. He stays humble and tells it the way he percieves it. I wish him a even brighter future.

[MrSone1975]

@MrSone1975 dude learn how to read . how is anything I said offensive to you and I do rep the 209 know that

[TheSouthsidestrangle]

LOL camera shakes when dude laughs!!!!!

[LikeTotallyRich]

Much respect to the champ. Miller is not even in the top 30 so he can stfu and fast!

[LivingDedMan]

I like Diaz. He says what he thinks, no b.s. It's funny when all the reporters start laughing at what he says and he's just got this look on his face like, "I'm serious m.f.'s."

For all the people new to MMA. If you want to see a good Diaz fight search for the Diaz vs. Gomi fight. That fight rocks.

[danpats1]

what Nick also didn't mention was that he fought Smith at 180 lbs, not Smith making the cut to 170 for the first time like Daley did.

[TheIVANOLOGY]

nick diaz is the man>gsp

[Panther704]

LOL! Nick tell scott to put his fist up.

[serpakovski]

WARRRRRRRR NICK DIAZ

[elmeeone]

WAR

Nick "you know" Diaz!!!!

[superheaton]

Sherdog rankings favor over UFC fighters.

[RCorbzz]

Miller wont drop weight because he can't... it's not in his physique to make that weight, on the other hand Diaz can put on weight easily and fight at 185. Ether way a true Champion should fight the no.1 contender, Miller isn't even no.5 ...

[StinkyPenisCheese]

I don't even want to see Miller/Diaz. Dude shouldn't get a big fight by whoring attention and making bad jokes in interviews. Earn the fight, and if you're too big to make 178 then you're probably too big to be calling out WW's in the first place.

[RCorbzz]

Also Nick Diaz is ranked 9th on Sherdog, there's a good reason for it... think about it.

[wolfboy494]

@RCorbzz yeah Sherdog cant rank shit.

[RCorbzz]

@wolfboy494 How do you justify that, look at there rankings its not perfect but its pretty accurate...

[TEXAZHAZE]

@RCorbzz sherdog lol

[RCorbzz]

@TEXAZHAZE Must be a Diaz fan boy, skipped all the logic and went for the stupid insult. Sherdog is a guide for the public not the be all end all of rankings.

[RCorbzz]

He keeps saying "What I've done" he literally has fought nobody's. Until he fights someone with talent i am not impressed. Daley is a start and would be a good fight but come on... if Daley is his hardest opponent right now there's something seriously wrong with considering Diaz a better fighter than the top 5 in UFC

[tillman40]

Seemed like Nick studied the GSP vs Kos fight and copied the repeated jab technique..

[laylalaylady]

@tillman40 I guess you've never watched Nick Diaz fight...

[tillman40]

@laylalaylady yes I did watch Nick fight..however I went back and watched some of his previous fights after my comments and want to retract my statement! LOL

[poganla123]

i love nick diaz dont kno y but i love nick diaz ............ and his broder

[MrDHdavid]

I like how theres the full fight between diaz in cyborg in the suggestions section

[showbizvil]

Nick is a fucking stud.

[OTTEN2007]

Nick had an amazing fight last night. 

[buildingm]

Diaz is the only true challenge for GSP at 170... too bad it can never happen.

[DodgeDweller420]

WHOS NEXT TO GET PUNCHED OUT BY MR DIAZ?

[rattsnakeratt]

Nick always entertains

[LikeTotallyRich]

Please Strikeforce PAY Nick. He lalk about going to fight in pro boxing cause they pay more. Nick is so poor that he can't travel to go spare. He spare his brother, Nino and Jake. Seeing something new would be cool! Also4-5 last interviews nick say that he is underpay. Now everybody think Strikeforce are a bunch of promoters that underpay their fichters. P.s. Nick is the Welterweight Champ and he is poor. That's a massive problem for Strikeforce.

[htownallday281]

@LikeTotallyRich Honestly, I'm a huge Diaz fan(both Nick and Nate) but Nick tends to over-exaggerate the whole money issue. I know it costs a lot to be a fighter, you have to pay your manager/trainers/members of your camp/various other people for helping you out - but Nick makes more than enough money, and he doesn't drive a Honda. Scott said in an interview last night that they're taking care of Nick, that with the contract he just signed he easily has enough $ to buy a new car/new house/etc.

[htownallday281]

@LikeTotallyRich When you're the WW champ and a pretty well known name like Nick Diaz, it's stupid to think he's not getting paid. I bet he gets paid more than the majority of UFC WW's(with the exception of GSP, Kos, Shields, Penn, Hughes). Dana White said he'd sign him, so if Strikeforce didn't offer him enough money he should've jumped ship to the UFC, I know I'm not the only one that would enjoy seeing him fight for them again. But I bet he gets paid way more than 6 figures per win.

[bunce101]

@htownallday281 shields lmfao

[showbizvil]

@htownallday281 fight purses aren't usually that high unless you are an extremely high profile fighter. Nick's income is mostly from endorsements. He's making a killing off that shit.

[htownallday281]

@showbizvil Yeah, but you gotta understand Nick is Strikeforce's most valuable asset, they both know this, and I guarentee that new contract he got set him up pretty nicely. It's not UFC champ money, but still 100g's and like you said, a fuck load off of endorsements each fight.

[showbizvil]

@htownallday281 Do you know how many fights is under his new contract?

[htownallday281]

@showbizvil 18 months. So, 4-5 more fights I'm guessing.

[htownallday281]

@showbizvil And the numbers just got released, he made 150k for the fight on Saturday lol. That's a good amount, considering he probably makes around 50k from sponsors per fight too. He just needs to go to the UFC and get that PPV $, and I'm not sure if Strikeforce gives fighters money under the table but the UFC sure as hell does.

[showbizvil]

@htownallday281 150k is fucking huge!!! Is it like the UFC where they get paid to show up and paid to win? He might be able to get PPV money soon. SF signed a deal with Japan for PPV but I'm not sure if it was just for the HW tourney or not. Don't know if the Japanese like him after he humiliated Gomi, but I'm sure fans will appreciate his style and dominance and he'll end up getting a strong following. I just hope the money doesn't make him soft. I'm sure it won't but you never know.

[JohnnyBoyCali]

@htownallday281 I like watching Nicks fights because hes exciting but I dont think he really wants to go to the UFC. He's making good money at strikeforce and I dont think he beats the top 5 WW's in the UFC(GSP, Koscheck, Fitch, Alves or Kampmann. Heck he might not even be able to beat BJ whos now at WW or Hardy, Condit or even Matt Serra whos got just as good BJJ and just as good boxing. Nick should stay in strikeforce. His wrestlings not good enough for the UFC.

[cmeshyne50]

@JohnnyBoyCali get the fuck out here!!! diaz bjj is on a world class level he is one of the best working off his back and i think he would out strike all the fighters you listed some of which would have a hard time maintaining the pace of diaz

[JohnnyBoyCali]

@cmeshyne50 He's a black belt now and he was a black belt when he lost to Sherk, Sanchez and Parysian in the UFC. I think he would oustriek GSP, Kos and Fitch but all three of those guys would take him down easily and all those guys have solid sub defense. He would NOT outstrike Thiago Alves. Thiago would KO Nick Diaz and so would BJ Penn whos BJJ is just as good as Nicks. Matt Serras BJJ is also as good as Nick Diaz.

[htownallday281]

@JohnnyBoyCali No, he recently said he re-signed with Strikeforce because he knows so many people in the WW division in the UFC, he wouldn't fight Shields/Nate/Serra/Almeida(Ser­ra/Almeida because of their Gracie affiliation). I think he'd beat BJ, what does BJ have for him? He'd get worked in the stand-up, and on the ground they're both highly skilled, I don't see either one of them getting a sub on the other. Hardy? You're joking right? Daley is WAY better than Hardy, and watch what happens.

[htownallday281]

@JohnnyBoyCali An out-of-shape Jake Shields beat Kampmann, Nick's grappling is at a very high level like Jake's, and his stand-up is immensely better, I don't know how you think Kampmann would win that fight. I'll admit, GSP/Koscheck/Fitch would all give him trouble due to their lay and pray styles, and Carlos Condit vs Nick would actually be a great fight I'd love to see.

[JohnnyBoyCali]

@htownallday281 Fine Diaz beats Kampmann but no way he gets pass GSP, Koscheck, Fitch, Thiago Alves, BJ penn, Matt Serra or even Anthony Johnson. If Nick came into the UFC I'd first like to see him against Alves, Fitch and then GSP. Let him earn his way to a title shot.

[htownallday281]

@JohnnyBoyCali Anthony Johnson? COMEON MAN! He's a good fighter but not nearly as well rounded as Nick. Serra/Penn he'd destroy, his stand-up is better than theirs and his BJJ is above the level of Serra and on par with BJ's. Now Alves vs Diaz would be a fight I'd LOVE to fucking see, especially if Nick gets through Daley. Fitch/Kos would lay on top of him for 3 rounds, and GSP would try to stand with him and realize Nick's boxing is superior and precede to take him down for 5 rounds.

[JohnnyBoyCali]

@htownallday281 Its not about being well rounded at all. its about the fact that the UFC WW's are stronger more powerful wrestlers that will take nick down easily and control him on the ground. All those guys I mentioned have solid sub defense. Nicks been facing average WW's like Noons, Sakurai, Zaromskis and Smith. None of those guys are UFC caliber fighters. Also how did Nick get this reputation of a great striker. What elite striker has he beaten? KJ Noons whos way overrated please.

[htownallday281]

@JohnnyBoyCali Robbie Lawler? Gomi? Cyborg, although his record doesn't depict, is a very good striker that actually came very close to finishing Shogun(Cyborg used to fight at LHW and even HW, but I bet you didn't know that). And yes, Kos/Fitch would most likely take him down and just lay on him, I didn't dispute that. And if you've watched his last 5 fights, although he doesn't swing as hard as say Paul Daley, his boxing is fucking amazing. He's a technical striker, not Chuck Liddell.

[JohnnyBoyCali]

@htownallday281 Yes I knew all of that. My point was NOT that Nick isn't a good fighter or that Cyborg isn't a good fighter. My gripe is with people who say Nick is the best WW or that hes in the top 5 WW's. Hes simply not an A Level elite fighter. If you look at the guys hes fought recently none of them are in the top 10 rankings and none of them are elite wrestlers.Nick is a B Level fighter who's entertaining but could never be a top 5 WW.

[teddy4216]

@JohnnyBoyCali i love the Diaz brothers. entertaining, hilarious and good fighters. but you make an excellent point here and many people agree

[BigBodyBenz]

Nick is a beast. Miller you don't want to see Diaz anywhere, so quit with all your crap talk. You got brought out by Nick in that Post-fight Press Conference!

[lilsm555]

@BigBodyBenz LOl your an idiot nick diaz is a great fighter but hes obviously scarred if mayhem can almost submit jake sheilds he would submit nick and nick realizes that.

[UFCBrockLesnar1]

@BigBodyBenz far from it, he just made himself look like even more of a fucking pussy.

[AphexxTwin]

@UFCBrockLesnar1 How? He worked this dude like he was a sparring partner. Or are you just trolling?

[UFCBrockLesnar1]

@AphexxTwin he is a pussy because he keeps dodging mayhem, he knows that he cant win so he makes up all of these stupid excuses. thats whats known as a pussy. and i only speak the truth.

[revo1974]

@UFCBrockLesnar1

Diaz is the welterweight champion. Why should he have to meet the demands of a fighter in another weight class who isn't even ranked in the top 20? The notion that a champion has to meet the demands of any run-of-the-mill fighter who calls him out in order not to be recognized as a pussy is completely absurd.

The fact that you think otherwise demonstrates how stupid you are.

[UFCBrockLesnar1]

@revo1974 pussies will be pussies.

[revo1974]

@UFCBrockLesnar1

idiots will be idiots

Only an idiot would expect a champion to fight a non-tittle fight, in a different weight class, against a fighter who isn't even ranked in the top 20 of his own weight class, just because he was called out by that fighter.

[UFCBrockLesnar1]

@revo1974 sounds like the definintion of a pussy to me.

[chess626]

@revo1974 GLAD ONE DUDE HERE KNOWS WTF IS GOING ON. IF UR THE CHAMP WOULD YOU GIVE A CHUMP WHO AINT WON A FIGHT IN A LONG TIME GET TO FIGHT THE CHAMP. WHO THE FUCK WOULD DO THAT. JAKE SHIELDS DIDNT GIVE HIM REMATCH, SO ON TO THE NEXT CHAMP. DIAZ, MAYHEM MORE VICTORYS' LESS INTERVIEWS BITCH...

[gtrjoe68]

Good night of fights.
