Nick Diaz talks about Frank Shamrock and MMA

[kev3145]

Oh my god Diaz could not have said it any fuckin better. Yeah MMA is the poor man's sport. How can you be respectful to the guy thats gonna inflict physical harm to you and take your money at the end if he beats you? Thats the logic of the game so face facts! Nick Diaz is the real motherfuckin deal here people. He fights to keep the roof over his head and put food on the table. You can't get any better than that. If ya wanna be classy, you turned to the wrong sport.

[judgerofwars]

he's incoherent.  proof that he has a low IQ

[sam91004]

@judgerofwars Inchoherence does not indicate IQ, at all. He could have some kind of phonetic impairment; does not have anything to do with IQ. Also, I wouldn't even say that he is incoherent, it's more that he has a whole bunch of things to say but just can't express it directly. Like Bob Dylan said ''I have a mind full of ideas and their driving me insane''. Basically, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

[judgerofwars]

he's incoherent.

[raff2112]

DONT BE SCARED HOMIE GO TO 185 HAHAHAAAAAAA

[raff2112]

ya no elbows no knees on standup just lets go box

[raff2112]

nick is a good figter but alot of the fans suck donkey dick and nick has no chance to GSP hes just another jake shields/ koscheck

[jitteryjoe]

Such obvious attention deficit disorder! XD

Cool guy but he can't stay on one topic for more than 10 seconds.

[stoinge]

love the way he handles the biyatches

[danpats1]

Nick sees things how they really are.

[shoeshimself]

Why the fucc are they bleeping out shit (no pun intended)?!?!

[nd646]

this was a sick interview and nick brings up a lot of points in it. I'm gonna show anyone who says that Nick is disrespectful this.

[oskee72]

thats what im talking about nick ! expose them all ! how can it be martial arts when you got faggets coming in just looking to lay on someone and throw down punches ??? i respect brazilian jujitsu but fuck wrestlers , learn how to stand up and fight !

[benthemiester]

Its like try to tell a lion to wash his hands before he eats dinner.

[casperdet313]

Their you go diaz addressed one of the many problems with MMA.Stalling is a huge problem last night when shields fought mayhem miller it was a lot like the gsp vs alves fight.Shields just layed on top of miller and did nothing for five rounds.

[Jkl9559]

Tells it like it is. Always. These guys are fighters, dressing in business suits talking about memo's (frank shamrock)is B.S. The sport is what it is and don't try and sugar coat it.

[jetsam34]

The sport needs more Nick and Nate Diaz's.  Just no politically correct b.s., no colored hair and dumbshit nicknames. Love these guys!

[JemezD23]

What the fuck are talkin about fool! Japanese back in the day don't carry themselves in such a way. it's about honor. to fight a guy you don't know with respect is what it's all about. that type of mentality is just hatred. Politically correct my ass, ain't about politics, it's about honor. Keep the fucking street mentality on the street. he's obviously made it, So why the fuck is he and his brother so goddamn angry and disrespectful! Grow up, have respect and dont fuck it up for every1 else.

[dtanktdtank]

Nick is always a awesome interviewer.

[londonjig]

Damn, i usualy would hate a guy like him. But hes the shit!!! He knows how to talk shit

[julien5000]

this dude just rambles .... seems like he didn't answer any questions

[ddtopia101]

thats what happens when u smoke hella weed like he does, havent u ever seen that movie "super high me" shits hella funny this guys like i smoke pot everyday and he just rambles 4 days about nothing not really answerin any questions haha

[crazymike44]

I agree with Nick... Hey, it's not tennis or golf! I think he's fine!

He has a fighters class and it's perfect! He has his own style...

I mean come on... look at some of the guys in the NFL and other sports...

[Kdaddy61987]

I like him going to dream cause they do have the best fighters at the 155 class but im sorry he sounds retarded and yes its a sport and you nick even call it a sport so show some class. Lyota machida, sakurabura, and fedor always have high respects for martial arts and competitive fighting. Nick understands it and knows what he should do but hes like that guy who comes to work without his shit and pisses everyone off cause guess what this is your job.

[faxstax]

dude its not your typical job, and his job takes place in the gym not standing up in front of the public selling the sport, theres already enough people for that and he realizes that. hes a fighter and fighter's fight. thats it. so why would you expect him to wear a suit and shit these prople are fighters theres nothing "classy" about fighting no matter how much you dress it up.

[Kdaddy61987]

Are you joking? In every aspect of life you need to have different dimensions. Guess what there will come a point where you just have to grow up. Yes hes a professional mma fighter but with that comes commercials,campaining,logo's and so forth. Lastly i took ma, i did comps and my friends did to and guess what we where always respectful and took what we did seriously. Also if you ever get married you gotta wear a suit and you should wear one being this is your profession.

[faxstax]

he takes it serious too prob more serious than most of the fighters in mma. thats all he does in train and has even said he has no life outside of fighting. just because you dont wear a suit doesnt mean you dont take the sport seriously. and nobody signs him to any advertising/marketing deals anyway so why would he give a shit.

[Kdaddy61987]

Hes upset about which is why hes complaining about it. Thats why i brought it up and the people who had there logos on his shorts have something to say about no sponsors. Lastly this is a sport just like anything else. They have bare knuckle karate tournaments and no padding tkd tournaments if he wanted be street but know he fights for a company and represents himself and the company. Its kind of the grown up thing to do.

[faxstax]

yeah but hes also selling/marketing himself in his own right in the way that he acts. if all fighters looked and talked the same it would be a pretty boring sport. all sports needs the characters good and bad. so why would you want someone to be someone other then themselves when they already seem to be doing pretty well for themselves. your just another jealous hater.

[plod78]

The hell with all the corporate bullshit. I'm sick of companies trying to dictate when a guy can fart or pick his nose. Let them be themselves, this sport is about fighting. As if there isn't already enough "politically correct" bullshit in this world.

[Kdaddy61987]

I agree about politcal correctness but you have to admit he kind of looks like a douch trying to explain himself. Also he should do something cause to me personally it looks tacky like brett farve wearing that dirty hat. It just looks like you kind of dont give a hoot about the way you look which might be true but other people have to look at them too. Just my opinion and probably the way i would carry myself but of course its however they want to do it.

[nd646]

@Kdaddy61987 He should wear a suit because it's his profession?

[Kdaddy61987]

@nd646 no but to be presentable, like you said this is his job and you should wear the proper attire. For instance in a fight it doesnt matter what hair color or if your nails are painted though i dislike it but ultimatly you choose what you want to wear appriate to the orgs rules. Now hear in the interview, show your not some dumb guy who fights for a living cause you dont want to get a real job. At least look the part of a professional.

[nd646]

@Kdaddy61987 hmm still doesn't sit right with me, but i'll agree to disagree

[Kdaddy61987]

@nd646 just a personel question, if you got paid good money for anything and your some what in the public eye wouldnt you wanted to be respected for more then just a fighter. To be viewed as more or would you just wing it like diaz?

[nd646]

@Kdaddy61987 i'd just wing it. i don't care what other people think about me because they don't matter and they aren't my friends.

[nd646]

@Kdaddy61987 ya but it can be said the other way around too. These fighters go out with funny colored hair or painted nails or talking about parking spaces. They act like fighting is just a hobby or something, like it's a joke. Fighting is Nick's life. For him maybe it's like everyone else at his work goes to work without their shit and that pisses him off

[arthanius1]

Diaz needs to fight Cung Le. I want to see what happens there.

[Pinoysolja7]

Hey Diaz you seem to fucking over confident. Why don't you fight Anderson Silva? I'll bet you'll get woop and knock down in the first round. Stupid trash talker...

[mai2s20]

Diaz would smash on Silva.....he has good enough stand up to bang wit silva! and would take him down and dominate him on the floor!!!!!Silva is a counterpuncher that doesnt want to take the fight to the ground..as you could see from the Leites fight!

[Pinoysolja7]

Leites fight? wtf? Leites is a pussy, whenever silva punched him he would lay on his back. Diaz haven't fought stronger fighter I mean shamrock is not the same level as silva. Silva is like a monster....

[DanHipp]

To argue that Nick Diaz would beat Anderson Silva is ridiculous.

[casperdet313]

Why diaz is one of the best boxers in MMA and a great ground fighter(which is silva's weakness)It would be a great fight and diaz could catch him with a right or a submission.I'm not saying he would win but I would rather see that then silva fighting an undeserving belfort.

[oskee72]

i agree , to be able to think that diaz could even match up to anderson silva you have to be a fucking retard .......... lol

[Kungfumasterjeff]

Randy Couture is a special case. So was George Foreman. Bald freaks. As far as a professional fight is concerned, you better retire from the sports as soon as you become thirty five.

[Kungfumasterjeff]

Long range jab, cross, and hook. The basic combinations were what distroyed Shamrock. Funny thing was Nick also dominated in the in-fighting range. Frank is totally out of shape as a professional fighter.

[Kungfumasterjeff]

What a moron! Ken Shamrock was supposed to fight Kimbo, not Frank!!

[pollohit]

Frank wanted to re[place Ken that night because Ken pulled out. Frank was ready but for some reason Strikeforce didnt want that. Smartass!

[Necco34]

what a dirt bag.

[wals8080]

do you guys even know MMA, comparing Diaz to GSP, ... Fitch, Thiago, even Hughes would beat Diaz

[DANIAC262]

I would put money on Diaz against all those guys except giving a slight edge to GSP. DO YOU EVEN KNOW MMA? doesnt seem like it you're just another UFC nuthugger i bet.. you dont watch any other MMA promotion except UFC i bet you never even watched PRIDE the best MMA organization ever . Hughes would get destroyed by Nick hahahaha idiot

[chamillionator8]

Looks like Diaz will be taking on Cung Le next?

[TommyRay2222]

from what I understand he is droppin back down to 170 but if he put Shamrock away in such a dominant fashion I think he would give Cung Le a great run! If he beat Cung like i think he would, everyone would have to give nick a BJ and apologize for ever doubting him lol.

[chamillionator8]

He should take Cung Le. Then maybe he'll catch Dana White's attention, and then transition over to the UFC where he can kick GSP's ass.

[kasdri]

As much as i like Diaz , and i am elated that he pounded out that ass Frank shamrock , i do'nt see diaz beating GSP. GSP is at his best and is in his prime.

 Diaz would fold like a cheap tent against GSP.

[chamillionator8]

I diasgree. GSP hasn't faced a guy as tough as Nick Diaz who can fight on almost limitless stamina. Plus Nick is taller and has a black belt in BJJ. GSP is overrated!

[kasdri]

Well GSP does have his blackbelt in BJJ also , i will admit that he is still not as accomplished in BJJ as Diaz , but GSP stamina is everybit as good as diaz and GSP is a far superior wrestler a lot stronger , better take down defence

( see the fight against BJ Penn) , if you look at the calibre of fighters , GSP has faced the best of the best . Just look at GSP's fighting history . GSP has faced guys that were much tougher than Diaz ,, John Fitch , Matt Serra , . Diaz lost to B.J Penn.

[Necco34]

dude he's not even in the same class as GSP in any way.

[kasdri]

Totally agree . GSP is in a higher class than Diaz , but i like both fighters.

[YamaRider93]

haha !!! i told everybody that Diaz would win ( even though i thought he would win by submission ) !!!!! I just made myself fuckin $100 off this shit !!!!

[TommyRay2222]

Nice!!! Yeah i dont know what the fuck everyone was smokin thinkin Frank was gonna Beat down Nick. I knew Nick would win and everyone who talked shit should shut the fuck up

[brizzx32]

Shamrock took a dive, it was obvious....

[kasdri]

HA HA HA ,, i was waiting for a comment like that , so you like shamrock , you are okay with fighters who take dives..

ha ha ha

[metalmulishatroop]

nick might not be house trained by he will mop up on shamrock tonight so be ready people

[evilmickey]

Guys a baby.

[timeswasting]

"I don't like elbows! They should yellow-card guys for elbows! I don't like fighting in cages! They can't see me in in the cage! I like fighting in a ring! I want to fight little Japanese guys! I don't like suits! I hate dressing up! Where's my bottle? WHAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

-Nick Diaz

[Obobbyss]

Nick says it himself , " This is Warfare" So yeah hes a bitch when he says he wants yellow cards and no elbows? Thats the way the rules are and hes bitching about it every single fucking time and its fucking getting old now. Sorry buddy I get the point its seems like you dont get MMA. The point system is fucked but its what saved MMA from being totaly banned in America. those are the rules so he should stop bitching.

[Obobbyss]

Yellow cards? what the fuck is this soccer? lol No elbows? what the fuck is this pattycakes? lol hahhhhaha what a pussy complains like a bitch. I hope he gets the fuck beat out of him

[T3hK3nny]

how is diaz is a pussy? he's one of the best fighters in the world and beat the some of the best. he doesn't like elbows cause alot of the time the stop fights by cuts and not kos and he has had a a lot of problems with cuts. He wants yellow cards for stalling so wrestlers cant just hold people down and win on points. He wants fights finished. don't talk about what you don't know about. Diaz is an great fighter and sure as hell is no pussy.

[Obobbyss]

If he doesnt like the rules then he should go to Brazil and fight vale tudo instead of bitching and whining all the time like a little bitch on the rag. look at every single one of his interviews on youtube and they are full of him ranting and raving and complaining and fuck this fuck that fuck him fuck that guy . Cuts are a part fighting if he doesnt want to get cut then he shouldnt get hit. So let me see lets change the rules that almost every MMA promotion is using cus poor little gets cut

[T3hK3nny]

you don't get the point at all...ya cuts are a part of fighting and Diaz has had a lot of problems with cuts. He even had surgery to remove scar tissue from his forehead. but elbows are used to deliberately cut people and open cuts bigger to stop the fight with a doctor. That's not a decisive victory. Diaz wants fighters to end it in the ring, not the athletic commission to stop the fight. and of course he says fuck everyone. He's an aggressive fighter. its how he motivates himself

[kasdri]

May Frank Shamrock rest in pieces :-)

[reedpower]

nick is hilarious like rampage. he said "cant see fighters in cages" haha. well people at home can see but audience i dont kno

[getmeAwhopper420]

lol no elbows. and yellowcards.. he's still stuck in pride rules.

[midtownmad415]

you cant say that about frankshamrock

[midtownmad415]

i like diaz. you can tell hes a nice guy inside

[evilmickey]

Just like Mike Tyson...He's a nice guy...But he'll fucking rape you somtimes...

That bitch asked him like two questions and he kicked off about how dosnt like many things...I hope he gets naffed up by Frank...

[eucanlykthis]

man nick diaz was THE initial fighter that made me love mma but he talks a lot of shit in this video and is obviously hung up over a comment or two about "class". now hes got a problem with elbows? thats fucking fighting bro. that fucking muay thai since 100+ or whatever years. he made some half decent comments towards the end about 'hugging ass' being both gay and boring. its time takedowns werent scored but only effective damage and control after the takedown. diaz will win this fight

[play59LPguitar]

what a take Nick ... stop talking and just fight. he's disrespectful. he talks too much about huggin arse .. Nick don't ask don't tell. I want to see him fight Cung Le.

[snowdred]

team diaz

[Lenzo001]

i have a world of respect for nick diaz. as well as frank shamrock, but i would like to see nick win this one.

[mmanouvelles]

Diaz will win

[Lenzo001]

he just can't get caught with frank's wild power. the longer the fight goes, the more it favours diaz. but don't forget, diaz has knockout over robbie lawler, he's quite capable of delivering a knockout himself. but i can't wait for this fight.  so amped, as i was for fedor arlovski haha

[ACE20251]

i know nick will win,he just has to use his ground game!!

I LOVE THE DIAZ BROS!!!!!!

[borcy31]

haha 2:48 and up is hilarious...

[PublicICON]

what Nick Diaz said make sense to me.  Now I knw

[mmaboxingfan2]

Quit sucking franks nuts you know nick will win.

[pollohit]

lol. i'll believe it when I see it. come april 11th. and by the way, Nick got's to thank Frank for giving him the opportunity to even fight him.

[mmaboxingfan2]

You didnt do you research pollohit so when you come back and do your research you can talk on here.

[pollohit]

what the heck are you talking about? research? I've seen all of Franks tapes and most of Diaz fights. It should be illegal for some one of Franks caliber to be fighting such an under dog kid as Nick Diaz.

Ive seen Gomi when he started in pride and they dubbed him the best right from the beggining. he always looked scared coming out. and his opponents were never great. He was protected for a long while. Sorry man. but only a fool will believe diaz will win in dominating fashion.

[kasdri]

May Frank Shamrock rest in pieces :-)

Ha ha ha ha ,,,,

[pollohit]

Yeah I spoke to Frank today, he said he threw in the fight, his ribs were jacked up (broken) before comin in to the fight. he didnt want to back out and he wanted to follow though. Nick hit him hard to the ribs which dropped his ass. Respect to Frank for coming in broken. Lucky Diaz for taking advantage! Good for him! Karma.

[kasdri]

WOW , that sucks man . Actually i talked to Nick Diaz the night before the fight , and found out he had a herniated disc , and a dislocated shoulder ,also he found out his mother is suffering from cancer and will not likely make it past june. Yea life can suck sometimes.

[TommyRay2222]

are you being serious bout Diaz's mom? If so that is very very sad =( If you are joking that is pretty offensive to joke about.

[TommyRay2222]

Come on let it go man lol. Frank lost because he was not the better man period! Exscuses are for losers and I dont think Frank is a loser. I dont believe he said that. He may have been banged up but alot of fighters are goin into fights. He would not admit to throwing a fight we both know that lol

[muppet013]

yeh right pollohit.. I read all your previous comments.. now you have egg on your face,,, Diaz is a very good technical fighter.. Frank is a great fighter but past his prime.. everytime Frank went forward he was getting hit by a jab..

[pollohit]

Past his prime? HAHAHA.

Randy couture is over 40

This is mma not boxing where 30 yr olds retire in that sport. This is a whole different game. Franks ribs where busted. Can You fuckin Box with busted ribs? Or even fight hard? no. KJ Noons is not better than Frank. KJ Beat Diaz. And KJ sucks. Franks busted ribs made Diaz look like anderson silva. Cungs kicks will break Diaz's Legs and skinny arms.

[pollohit]

All jokes aside, Im telling you man, Diaz didnt get the best of Frank Shamrock that night. Its hard because frank doesnt want to use his broken ribs as an excuse to why he lost so bad. Frank knows, as well as you and I that if he uses excuses frank would get booed the shit out of him. Frank was ready to Fight Kimbo that night, he was all healed up. U got to admit, Diaz's win was too good to be true. But he did it. So congrats and whatever to him.

[mmaboxingfan2]

Im not mad you just dont know what your talking about fool....

[mmaboxingfan2]

Nick eats certain foods he does triathlons. He swims all the time. When do you see other fighters go out of there way and do triathlons? Nick sais in a interview when hes training he doesnt even have time for a haircut now thats dedication.

[jbfsteelers1130]

frank has this fight. they both lost the same amount of fights but frank has won more. if frank lost a fight he would come back and beat the fight that beat him.

[mmaboxingfan2]

Shut up pollohit you fucking faggit.

[pollohit]

lol. don't get mad pusSayyyy!!! :)

[joshmartiniuk1]

when diaz kills frank, kill yourself after thank you

[pollohit]

lol three thumbs up for u.

[EmericaBadBoy]

lets just all say pssh you internet black belt nerds .

[pollohit]

Gomi was overrated. Name the best he beat? I'll kick his ass lol. n e ways.. Pride was not the best, the only greats was Fedor and Crocop - and i guess Rampage and Silva too. thats it.

Nick Diaz is a bleeder. But say if Nick does win.. I guess that would give hope to all the wanna b gangsters of the world.

[mmaboxingfan2]

Quit saying gomi is overrated. Gomi was champ of pride and beat alot of best. Pride had the best fighters hes not overrated. Nick lost to sanchez barely. Diego couldnt handle nick on the feet and nick lost to kj because of cuts kj didnt destroy him.

[phantom5691]

why do people say "shortbus" diaz is so cool because he says whatever he wants when NOTHING he says makes sense?

nick will lose this one

[yourmajesty07]

frank aint never tapped in the cage, and nick diaz sure as hell aint gonna be the first to do it.

[kasdri]

Frank will lose ,. It will happen so get ready.

[tmcgordon]

I second that Bro! Frank will definitely lose this fight! : )

[yourmajesty07]

he keeps mentioning elbow because he knows that how he's gonna get taken out. shamrock's gonna cut his ass on the eye with one and the fight will be stopped when he's bleeding to death.

[TommyRay2222]

LMAO i dont think that Frank will try to take Nick down. Nick's BJJ is off the hook and he will tap Frank before he gets off too many elbows. He is totally right about wrestlers takin down guys and stalling for a win that shit is ridiculous! Elbows make things exciting but the stallin on the ground is waaaayyyy boring. Nick will not lose because he is A TRUE TREE SMOKING SAMURAI NINJA!!!! Nick has not been KO'd or Submitted or really stopped for that matter. He is the epitomy of a true fighter!

[pollohit]

Nether has Frank.. submitted or KO'd for that matter. But Franks fought tougher bigger roided fucker's.

[TommyRay2222]

If Frank is gonna try to keep it on the feet and KO Nick he better change his gameplan because Nick will out tech him on the feet for sure! Frank hits hard but Nick has better boxing skillz by far. Lets make a friendly bet on this fight lol

[pollohit]

Yeah Diaz is a bleeder.

[yourmajesty07]

nick's gonna get smashed!

[TommyRay2222]

Its gonna be a good fight i think but Nick is gonna smash Shamrocks braces in!

[njl22222]

hurley is a buddy of mine.

[TommyRay2222]

Thats pretty tight

[bachatadiccion]

go diaz you keep it real thats whats up.

[TommyRay2222]

Hell yeah Nick is one of the only real gladiators left in the sport. He doesnt get in front of a camera and start posing and act fake and shit. He says whatever the fuck he wants to say and doesnt give a fuck what anyone thinks or what MMA thinks about it. He speaks the truth about alot of shit and I dont understand how people can hate on a guy who is a true fuckin warrior and is real!

[aokspage]

good interview. I cant wait for this fight. Nick will clean this guy up!!

[TommyRay2222]

agreed bro! Cant wait to see this for sure! Before the Gomi fight all my friends were like they should get Gomi a more name fighter, he is gonna knock out Nick easily. I was like are you fucking kidding me? Do you guys know who Nick Diaz is? I called it to all of them that Nick would either out tech him on the feet or sub him because Nick is more technical than Gomi in both aspects. Gomi hits like a train but not as technical. I see the same thing goin down this fight. We are both true diaz fans

[pollohit]

Gomi was overrated. Diaz lost to Diego Sanchez. Diaz lost to KJ noons. All of those guys have nothing And I mean nothing on Frank Shamrock. They've never fought at the caliber that Frank has always fought in and never faced real monsters. Frank will tool him in every aspect of the game especially boxing.. without a shout of a doubt.

Im coming back to this when its all over and laugh at your face and say I told you so.

[joshmartiniuk1]

diaz wins the fight no matter where it goes

[pollohit]

wow.. you sold me into changing my mind.. psshh lol.

[joshmartiniuk1]

psssh faget

[pollohit]

fuckin cherry.

[muppet013]

Dont get me wrong.. Frank is a fantastic fighter but Diaz.. is a tough guy and Frank has to accept his loss.. Why did he pull out of the kimbo fight,, if Diaz can beat frank then Kimbo would have beaten Frank... I just think you are bagging Diaz on this site and he is greatly improved.. not sure how he would go against BJ penn or GSP

[pollohit]

Cung Le even knew Frank was busted and had 2 surgeries right before the fight and he didnt even know why Frank was fighting. But Franks ego is huge and didnt want to pull out. So he fought anyways. As broken as the old man was, he still fought. Its sad shit

[muppet013]

Frank definitely didnt look himself in this fight.. he didnt try any takedowns or attack,, Diaz's jab was inflicting alot of damage.. Give credit where credit is due.. Diaz on the day was a better fighter..

[DANIAC262]

stop with the Kimbo crap he sucks ass he left MMA just leave it at that dont ever talk about how kimbo could beat this guy and that fuck kimbo!!!

[muppet013]

yeh sorry i must have been off my head when i wrote that.. I take the kimbo comment back.. Frank is world class and kimbo is new the the sport..I just didnt know why frank pulled out of the kimbo fight.. Maybe he was injured..
