Nick Diaz talks about his problems in high school

[KrazyMane98]

I never used to like Diaz but as soon as I actually looked into his life I saw that I pretty much went through the same thing. I'm not saying I'm like him but the stuff he went through is similar to what I'm going through so now I actually respect him and he's becoming one of my favorite fighters

i've pulled the fire alarm, shit's hilarious

Where You At Justin Asello

[TheSamba2010]

condit gonna get fucked up on friday !!! GO NICK DIAZ!!! STRAIGHT OUTTA STOCKTON!!! BITCHES!!!

[brownjack48]

@TheSamba2010 its gonna be on saturday but yeah condit is still gonna get his ass whooped

[sTalnaker13]

I will turn 21 on the day of this fight. My best birthday present will be after all the shots I take and beers I pounded, Nick Diaz will have his hand raised and be crowned the WW champion of the world. He is the most polarizing figure we have in our sport. He has so many fans, yet so many haters. One thing is for sure, whenever a Diaz brother steps into the cage, they leave it all in there and the fans are left with another memorable battle.

[jaeOneS2]

depressing music.

[jaeOneS2]

@lawndogmoon2 hahhahahahahahahah!

[Drahgoon]

Nick Diaz is Sheening.

[128venom]

Nick diaz is cool

[michaeljacksonisnotd]

Wooow that's why I love Nick !!! he is amazing guy and he is not agressive at all, he is sweetheart ! and he doesn't like hurt people...We love you Nick !

[CyrustheVirus1234]

@BrawlsAreNuts To be fair, diaz doesnt usually talk a whole lot of shit towards the fighter hes going to fight. Its when they are face to face that he starts to act crazy, and he has said why. He gets nervous, he doesnt like being face to face with someone who he knows is going to try to pound his face in. It makes him very uncomfortable, and he responds by getting in their face, and talking shit to them, and getting himself mentally prepared to try to do the same.

[jackdaripper9]

I wonder where Justin Asello is these days.

[randylahey111]

So, what i gather is that when he was young, some kid would pick on him and they'd fight. Probably arrange like after school or something, then Nick had to put up with all these kids asking shit like "oh Justin can beat you up" and "How you going to beat Justin?" and shit, not minding their own business being nosy. Nick would fight those people as well. So now with the cameras asking him that shit, its just the same as school. I don't feel sorry for Nick, he doesnt want pity. I admire his will

[LevonTastic]

Nick Diaz all the way, True Fighter, True Warrior. I just watch this clip everyday, it just gives you the inspiration you need. Always been watching him fight from the beginning, its such a privilege to watch this guy fight. Hes a legend in my opinion, when he fights his just so fluent, true artist in his domain. Condit is amazing fighter but Nick is just going to wear him out.

[Rgon805]

I can relate to nick getting knives pulled on me to getting jumped by 6 guys once a week I'd get scared also I wouldn't want to go to school like he said it's smart to stay knowing people had guns and knives not going to school to get killed you gotta be smart not stupid I've always liked him from strikeforce to UFC I got mad respect for the Diaz brothers I hope there champs in 2012

[AsianApple0026]

@lilsm555 exactly man, He has been my favorite fighter since I caught his fight with Zaromskis, I went back and watched all his fights and have been repping ever since, both him and Nate are true warriors and amazing fighters, an they are gonna keep proving their haters wrong

[gregorio0123]

i can relate to nick,i went to a gang infected school too. i seen kid get jumped on i seen dudes beat up teacher s and even beatup girls too. kinda like orison life where violence is the only way u get respect.,im pretty sure it a few inter city kids that can relate to nick diaz. nick diaz is fair honest do friends beat each other up bloody? hell no , not where i from. nick just saying if u tring to hurt me we anit friends, so nick is not tring to make friend wit any opponent it make sense

[sTalnaker13]

Nobody in this sport has the determination and fearlessness of either of the Diaz brothers...I love those dudes....Respect the 209

[jimijackson]

they need to make a movie about nick diaz... i just hope he can handle what seems to be a turbulent life for him and make it to a more restful/happy phase. kinda like mike tyson eventually did...

[nemesismartialarts]

glad to see a primetime just to see a little more of Nick. Understand him a lot more now. Clearly still only scratches the surface but I think it's enough to allow you to see the other side to him.

[phil31cole]

I couldn't be happier that this primetime which still has two parts to go , is turning around some of the Diaz haters.

God you have to win this one nick!

" it just fell down " Lol

[UniqueSnoop]

PLEASE DESTROY CONDIT

[KevinRomero]

lol at his 2nd grade picture. hahahaha

[KillHoffa]

WOOOOW!!!!! AND I ALWAYS CARRIED A CHIP ON MY SHOULDER BECAUSE I WENT THROUGH BULLSH!T FROM MY CHILDHOOD AND HIGH SCHOOL HELL EVEN COLLEGE, BUT IT GOES TO SHOW HOW SENSITIVE WE ARE AT A YOUNG AGE AND IT EVEN EFFECT SOME OF IN OUR ADULT LIVES!!! *SOME* NOT ALL. I'M NOW SOWLY LEARNING TO LET TO PUT MY PAST BEHIND ME!!! AND LIVE FOR TODAY!! AND FOCUS ON THE FUTURE.

[unclepalo]

i cant help to think that i really see alot in myself in diaz, no father and having problems and altercations throughout childhood, being told i wasnt good enough. not to mention the anxiety and the somewhat avoidant personality disorder.. but he fights with all his heart and keeps himself real thats why ive always liked and respected him since i first saw him fight because hes a real person. i really hope he wins, hes one of my heroes in mma and he deserves it more than anyone in the world.

[BlackDude41]

The GSP fans must find it hard not to root for Diaz after this.

[milano193]

"he's a poet, a poet in motion"

[Lukeeeeo]

I loved Diaz as a person since the Helwani interview, but now even more so, he suffers from depression in my opinion, but there's a huge stigma attached to admitting so, or even knowing so, in MMA. Anyway Nick, I hope it "goes down" for you on Feb 4 when you "blast" Condit back to his childhood.

[milano193]

@Lukeeeeo i agree. there's a lot of pain in his voice.

[Azza6788]

Nick diaz is the fucking man had a troubled childhood without a father but he went out & made himself somebody who is idolized by millions of people.U can tell when he trains & works out he just blocks out all the shit that has affected him earlier in his life & enters his own world of just fucking smashing people.Time for condit to get a smashing or choked out or a limb torn from his body go get him nick u my friend are an unique indiviual.

[TipsyPopz]

Most misunderstood guy in MMA. I swear the guy this dude becomes the welterweight champion is the day people are gonna give him the respect that he deserves. War Diaz!

[magadepressed]

WAR DIAZ !!

[Theobrothers]

Not sure I've ever seen a video where Nick actually takes responsibility for his life.

It's always boohoo I got dealt a bad hand waaaaa I had no dad.

Suck it up you fucking bitch.

[UniqueSnoop]

Nick Diaz, my favourite fighter of all time, im just glad more people are starting to see who he really is now

[DeyCudiakaDeyLethal]

@UniqueSnoop i feel the exact same way finally hes getting some of the love & respect that he deserves

[650ballinwhiteboy]

There will never be another fighter like Nick Diaz

[MyOwnWorstEneme]

I used to hate him too, but the more I learn about him the more I come to respect him. Awesome fighter. Awesome person.

[terminate1990]

Damn, I used to hate this guy before. I felt like crying and giving him a hug after watching this video. I hope he beats the shit out of Condit on February 4th.

[MrAlala911]

@terminate1990

Good to hear than Diaz haters can be turned around :) I don't like people who blindly hates him, because they don't know what they are talking about. They judge him from what they see in some interviews. Thats fucked up. Ive been a fan since i first saw him. Same goes to his brother. Id like nothing more than Diaz haters to understand: they are incredibly talented fighters! People thought Cerrone would walk over Nathan... Condit has his hands full here
