FIGHT Life: The Diaz Brothers - Playground Battles

Nick Diaz, water polo player? As strange as that may sound, the Strikeforce Welterweight champ once sought glory inside a swimming pool. Good thing that didnt work out, as Nick and his brother Nathan have become two of MMAs most popular -- and controversial fighters. In part 1 of this FIGHT! Life series, the Diaz boys take us back to their rough-and-tumble days of growing up in Stockton, America's fifth most dangerous city.

Produced and directed by Matthew Ross. Camera: Marc Rizzo and Randy Ward. Edited by Ryan Jackson-Healy and Ashley Cahill. Music by Jacques Brautbar.

@orderX7

Did he act like a "punk" in this interview? Because it looked to me like he was just telling a story. Its not like he bitched or said anything about how hard his life was it was just a story. You need to try chilling the fuck out.

Africa doesn't have anything to do with this. So because Africa sucks nobody else can have a hard life? It doesn't work that way dumb dumb. The fifth most dangerous city in the US is still dangerous despite Africa being more fucked up.

If I knew a kid like that when I went to school, I would've had his back everyday.

[serclfs]

@MuseseekerMan Oh and before I go what I meant when I said You say that now is not that you COULDN'T do it I meant you're probably only saying that due to the fact that he's a fighter you like from the present. I noticed by the way you use your grammar that you might need an explanation on what I was actually saying. YOU WIN, goodbye.

[serclfs]

@MuseseekerMan When did I ever say I wanted to fight you? You're someone with a lot to prove. If you didn't need to prove to a random stranger that you're a badass motherfucker you wouldn't copy and paste the script for gangbangers 2.0 on Youtube. Get a job, go to school and actually try to help other people out? Just a suggestion. Goodbye, you win.

[MuseseekerMan]

@serclfs lmao....u must be one of them little punk ass gangbangers who aint SHIT without his homeys... rofl the thing is little bitch is that once ur in a gang u got a fuckin target on ur punk ass. u don't fuckin scare me motherfucker. I'd rather take u and ur homeys to hell before i let u fuck with me.

[serclfs]

@MuseseekerMan You say that now...lmao.

[ChicoHardy09]

traduction en francais ??? svp

[MuseseekerMan]

@MaaNonu123 yeah, but I still couldn't let a guy take on 2 guys or more alone. Unless he was winning. I don't believe in letting gangs have their way. I'd probably be a dead man if I lived in a gang infested region. I swear I'd kill a couple of em.

[MaaNonu123]

@MuseseekerMan bro.., these guys are from fuking Stockton, having his back isn't good enough. I bet 90% of the kids in his highschool were in gangs.

WTF are you people talking about. The stupid shit I read on here is ridiculous. I don't know whats worse, arguing over this stupid shit or the fact im replying to the stupid shit you people argue over. WALKHARD108

[modestgrower]

@TheSpiderbeats You would have to be from the 209 to understand what Nick was talking about. Asians in northern California rarely fight fair.
