– Elite XC lightweight contender Nick Diaz goes off in a recent interview with Carlos Arias over at the Orange County Register. He sounds off on several topics, including the melee that took place in the cage after last Saturday’s “Return of the King” show, his lifestyle, fighting in a ring vs. cage, the UFC, his critics and more. It’s a must read for any and all MMA fans. Definitely check it out in its entirety when you have a minute or two … its pretty long. Don’t be scared, homey.

the only tbing gettin f*** up is u if u try fight silva st piere and everyone else i like diaz an he crazy but he has to realize where he stands in the rankings
nick was not saying he could beat all of those fighters..he was saying he would fight them..
damn read the article homie.
that said. i know he would demolish any of those fighters.
i am from stockton and i know the diaz bro’s personally..
i just was hanging out with nate last week.
Yeah, I am from Chicago.
Shonie Carter and I chilled over a plate of Chicago style deep dish pizza and compared our MMA top ten lists.
Then I went clubbing w/ Arlovski and we discussed why people don’t like Tim Sylvia.
I think the Diaz brothers are very talented. No doubt. Nick needs to grow up. Keeping it real don’t mean you gotta be stupid. Just ask Rampage.
You know what I mean, homie?
oh yeah
say word.
i know mr international too. does he still have himself as #1 on his mma list.
i have met arlovski but we are not really freinds or anything. i do know tim and have had dinner with him and pat miletich a couple times though.
plus i think clubbing is gay unless its seal clubbing out in alaska.
“plus i think clubbing is gay unless its seal clubbing out in alaska”
LOL
you should see my jacket.
it is pure seal skin and very comfortable.
it even still has the teeth in it. so cool.
This has got to be the most ignorant thread I’ve ever read…
Word.
This guy just gets dumber and dumber.
I love him for the exact reason you hate him. He is a real fighter that will take on anyone at anytime. I grew up around kids like him so I understand Stockton mentality. He is young and I gaurenteed we will see big things from him in the future, wherever it may be.
me too. i have always like Nick and enjoy watching him fight. i also love his (expletive) interviews. dude will fight anybody anywhere at any weight..WAR NICK WARRRRRRRRR
“I love him for the exact raeson you hate him”..
I feel the same way bnf, well put..
BNF: Great comment! Im with u!
Ceasar Gracie said that they are trying to put togethre the rematch between Diaz vs. Gomi!
“I’m trying to fight Georges (expletive) St. (expletive) Pierre” LOL. Gotta love Nick Diaz! The sport of MMA is in need of colorful characters, and Nick just so happens to be one of them.
Even with the couple of lackluster performances that Nick had, his fights are ALWAYS exciting. The kid has undeniable skills.
Quick Question to the Diaz fans out there: Nick and Nate are about 1 year and 8 months apart in age, so we’ll call it 2 years for the sake of argument. At the age of 22, which is the last we saw Nate fight (Nate turned 23 in April, but hasn’t fought since his birthday), is he futher along in his mma skills than older brother Nick was at 22? In other words, at the age of 22, who is the better fighter? To help out with the time frame, Nick was 22 right around the time of his last few fights in the UFC.
I would say that at the age of 22, Nick had definitely faced the tougher competition.
People don’t appreciate what Nick Diaz was doing in the UFC at such a young age. You really don’t see 19 year olds in the UFC anymore, especially ones that make noise in their division. For example, TUF is where the UFC looks for thier up and coming young talent. You must be 21 to be on the show. Nick was 2 years younger and tearing up the UFC. THAT is an accomplishment, whether you are a fan of Nick or not.
Oh yeah, AWESOME FIND KEVIN!!!!! Thanks!
“I’m here to fight. I’m not trying to be a movie star. I’m not trying to wear a (expletive) suit like K.J. Noons. I’ll save my money to buy some (expletive) weed. You know what I mean? I’m trying to enhance the quality of my living. That’s the same reason why I will fight people, I will get high, because that’s a higher quality of life. You know what I mean? “
Huerta will move up to welterweight as soon as his new butt buddy (GSP) moves up to middleweight. Both will happen. To read the interview head over to fightline!
LOLOL Nick was talking about being the youngest American fighter to ever fight in the UFC. Him, Vitor and Arlovski. His opponents always had at least 2 years on him…
“Sean Sherk, if he was my age, would have been like a little kid and I would have slapped him around. “
I know what he means..
I have been a Diaz fan for a long time now. I have been watching him fight since he was 18.
VM, I totally agree, Nick was fighting very tough fights at a young age…To compair Nick and Nate?, I would definitely say Nick was furture along in MMa, then Nate is now…But I still think it would be close..Nate is coming along alot better then I thought he would…
Nate is definitely already a threat in the ufc LW division, and I only see good things to come from him..
IMO- He will probably loose a fight before he gets into title contention, but he will only bounce back stronger, smarter and more focused…Nate Diaz will be around the LW division for a long time.trust me!
Also’ Nate has his brothers mistakes to learn from aswell..And Cesar Gracie will help him become an elite LW fighter….
The Diaz brothers kick (expletive)(expletive)
WAR DIAZ!!
Great F’n Post V1…Nick is a F’n beast on the Matt. His brake out performance came against LAwler..he drugged him..I’ve been a fan ever since. He is 100% real. gotta 2 respect that. On a side note in compared to other notable Gracie Blk Belts in the U.S. ( Renzo, Rickson, Royce, etc.. ) that Cesar Gracie has given out the fewest Blk belts here in the States.
“Huerta will move up to welterweight as soon as his new butt buddy (GSP) moves up to middleweight. Both will happen.”
Huerta would get destroyed at WW. Why the hell would he move up?
I agree that he would get destroyed at WW if he was fighting GSP, but he wants to wait until after GSP mives up.
I think Huerta could make a decent impact at WW agansts opponants like.
Jon Fitch
Deigo Sanchez
Ryo Chonnen
Josh Kos
Chris Lytle
Karo Parisayn
Matt Serra
Mick Swick
Marcus Davis
Im not saying he would beat all of these guy’s, but he could? if he improves….
And some of these fighters are topWW in the UFC…
I dont see it being a bad move for Roger to move to WW, but for now?, I definetly think he should stay at LW and see what happens.
Josh Burkman
huerta would not get destroyed at ww.
he could easily butter gsp’s crussant.
after roger demolishes ken flo he will smasg bj and then take gsp’s gold to become the first ww and lw champ
Ok, I wasn’t sure if you were just f*cking with everybody with some of your posts. Now I’m convinced you are! Funny stuff, stinky. Although I’m a little nauseated at the thought of Huerta buttering GSP’s croissant.
no joke here
i keep it real
huerta would not only butter gsp’s croissant he would drink his blood like red wine
and then do something to his chocolate eclaire’ that u dont wanna know
i can’t believe anyone like this loser. there are plenty of other
pot smoking fighters out there they can root for that can actually back up what they say.
AMEN BROTHER
He’s crazy hilarious, and the original. Certainly cannot fault anyone for disliking him though. I’ve just been watching him since his first fight and he’s one of the few fighters that I make that kind of exception for. I know someone that goes to the gym with the Diaz brothers and I hear they’re really decent with anyone they’re aquainted with.
SBUD, who are you referring to in particular?
But he ain’t scared homey. If it don’t take a few stitches it isn’t worth the time!
It would take more than a few stitches to put him back together if he fought Anderson Silva. That would be the first time that I would watch a fight and think death was truly a possible outcome.
I (expletive) like (expletive) Nick (expletive) Diaz!
He come to fight, doesn’t complain, and he ain’t scared. I don’t need the fighter I like to watch fight be able to have an Oxford degree and be fluent in 5 languages.
I (expletive) like (expletive) fighters that (expletive) come to (expletive) fight.
(expletive) word!
(expletive) yeah, homey!!
#@$%*&^%$ !
#@$%*&^%$ !
#@$%*&^%$ !
With all the (expletive) and @$&^%&* in his interviews, I don’t know Diaz and Dana don’t get along better.
funny quote
ITS NOT ENTERTAINING EVEN ANYMORE ,BET HIS PARENTS R PROUD
AND THE BULLSHIT BOUT NOT CARING WHAT PEOPLE SAY???THATS EXACTLY IS WHAT HES DOING CRYIN OUT FOR ATTENTION ,THEY MUSTA GOT PUNKED THESE TWO WHEN THEY WERE SMALL ,WHY ELSE WOULD U TRY AND MAKE YOUR SELF TO LOOK TOUGH OR ACT OUT ,HEY IM A COUNCILLER AND THIS IS AN DEFINITE CASE OF ADD NOT TAKEN CARE OF …IM DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT THAT
besides sakarai,st.pierre and def anderson silva will tool that FOOL
What’s a Counciller?
Some form of fake counselor. I think it is safe to say that he is not someone who works in the mental health field though. haha
no this is exactly the type of person you will find in counseling, I’ve had a DWAI before and done alchohal counseling, trust me, it doesn’t take much, and the counselor’s usually hate their life more than the people their counseling..
God, he is a dumbass…
Man, he sounds high as a kite.
“You know what I mean?”
….no
….atleast he called GSP a nice guy
One word…
Backpeddeling
The guy doesnt have a clue where he stands.
Vs Karo and others like that sure even vs some of the crappy mw in UFC but never should he think its a check mark for him in the win column if he loses to silva or Pierre.
I am not scared of needles but that doesnt mean I wanna get poked with a 3 ft long one.
NICK DIAZ!!!!! I love this GUY!! a true fighter!!
by the way, Nick never threw a punch during the whole ruckus with KJ!!
it was KJ camp that attack Nick!

How Dubya Dubya F was that?
Pro-Wrestling heat in MMA promos…
its 2 different things having heart and the tools.
Some guys have the heart but if they dont have the skills
come on man u cant be calling out Silva and Gsp and other guys
so well rounded
I agree! GSP and Silva are way to well rounded for Diaz. Not to take anything away from Diaz,ya he is a good fighter, but just not on a GSP or Silva level. Both GSP and Silva would decide where the would go at anytime and punish Diaz,period!Agree or not, I don’t even think Diaz has the right to even challenge those 2, he hasn’t beaten anyone really close to that level.
Even though half this interview is edited out, you can understand it 50x easier than an audio interview with this idiot.
lol got that right
I happy to see other people like this from DIaz, I have always been a big fan of him and his brother. I know they sound retarded sometimes, but they are who they are, they don’t try to hide it. Wear their feelings on their sleeve…..got to like that in a fighter. But my fav. is when post fight Nick Diaz talks non sense for 5 minutes, and when they try to take the mic. from him he hold on to it to say more non sense… makes me laugh every time. But I do hope UFC takes him back, Nick and Nate would make any UFC events that would feature both of them instant classics…you know something would happen if they are on the same card.
hmmm… maybe him mentioning Fitch and St.Piere meant he has been talking to UFC… hope so
I think he would kick the shit out of both of them!!!……lol, …jk but I would love to see those fights
I hear u MMAMIND, Nick Diaz is stupid hilarious while Nate Diaz tones it down and looks sane compared to Nick. A lot of the guys Nick mentioned would kick the shit out of him. But, his point is… he doesn’t care… he’ll fight them anyway.
haha, Nate reminds me of Mike Tyson in his interviews, tough guy with fairy voice..
Diaz is a loser, he is going to lose in his rematch with Noons, and where does he get off calling out both GSP and Silva? They would both destroy Diaz with ease.
Haha he didn’t mention BJ PENN. Ain’t nobody wanna f*ck wit BJ Penn right now..
GSP by what ever he wants.
Jon Fitch by what ever he wants.
Anderson Silva by complete and utter domination.
woooooooooo!! that just got me fired up right there! stocton mfkers are crazy! even if mma wasn’t a ’sport’, he’d still be choking mfkers out, hurting people not like some of these atheletes who took their first punch in sparring practice. its the element you wont find on any stat sheet. shoot, remember when he banked on joe riggs in the hospital after the actual fight? him & his bro are both down. u can’t just enroll in a class to learn that.
Nick Diaz is the shit, i hope he gets a rematch with Noons and whoops his ass.
GSP and the Spider would kill this punk
He’d be alive still but cut up real bad.
What a loser. HE LEFT THE BEST FIGHTS AND BEST FIGHTERS IN THE UFC because they ALL were kicking his ass. He couldnt even make it close to a title shot. So he gos and talk shit on them, WEHNE IT WAS HIS choice to leave the UFC and best fighters???
What a tool. He left and went to the minors, thinking he will finally be able to look good like he did when he was beating up freshman when he was a senior in high schoool. And still he cant beat on them. That Aina dude, in many eyes believed he won. Lost to KJ. Got fed another chump and BARELY made it past him. He thinks he is KING shit because he beat 1 good fighter and lost to 10!!!!!
I earned a lot of respect for Diaz after his fight with Robbie Lawler.
You’ve got to respect the guy, at least he puts his skills in the cage. He could easily have just beat up average Joe’s on the street ala Rob Emerson
Nick’s trash talk is weak.
It is as affective as his peppering jabs ZzzzZzzzZzzz…
We’re on a nice little planet called Earth, Nick.
Come.
Join us.
nick diaz should be careful what he wishes for, he might just get it.
Ridiculous. Nick sounds more and more like a crying teenage girl. Some people like him because he shows his emotions and they want that in a fighter? No, you want that in a movie you take your girlfriend to. What you want in a fighter is a “nice guy” (GSP, Silva) who uses politeness and a smile to cover the fact they are cold blooded killers. I can see it now, Gary Shaw buying Diaz’s chronic for him, giving him a volcano rip, and pushing him towards the mics. Diaz got schooled in the UFC so he went to Elite where they literally created a weight class for his lazy cant-make-weight ass. At least he doesn’t attend the Mike Tyson’s speech therapy academy like his down syndrome brother. They give both fighters and stoners a bad name. Shame on you Nick *blow hit in nasty Neanderthal Diaz face*
LMAO
translation: “please don’t like him! please don’t like him!” lol
Speaking as a parent, I would’ve HATED to break up fights between him and his brother.
Ha! I watch MMA with my 3 year old son. Sometimes I wonder if thats a mistake. I’m gonna get called into preschool because he broke some kids collar bone.
I love the Diaz way of fighting but Nick at least comes off as a unbalanced person.
See kids this is why you don’t smoke pot, it makes you stupid ,unless you already are, then you just start rambling expletives for no coherant reason.
I like watching him and his brother fight, because they are true fighters, but man that kid is a moron.
Check out medical journals my friend, the ONLY documented side effect of regular marijuana use is “lack of motivation” which doesnt mean “makes you stupid.” Nick was stupid already, but the lack of motivation makes him miss weight by 8 lbs, which is a disgrace to his trainers and the sport.
just lost any ounce of respect i ever had for this clown, theres a reason hes not in the UFC
I don’t know what this crying is about the cage taking all the technical skill out of fighting, thats why theres a term out there called “cage tactics” of course it’s not the same as fighting in a ring, I think restarts are dumb, unless there’s absolutley nothing going on. If some guy is holding another guy up against the cage and slamming elbows into his face and working that dirty boxing for 3-5 rounds opening up cuts then so be it.
Nick is the man!
I just read some of the posts for this topic. Nobody that likes Diaz talks like a normal person. Dont act “hard” you are on a website….blogging…tough guys.
I like both Diaz fighters - I hold 2 college degrees, own 2 cars, 1 motorcycle, have a house, speak 2 languages, train in Muay Thai, and have rolled with BJJ brown belt friends.
People who like the Diaz boys like them because above all the tough talk, banter, rhetoric, and hype - they are gifted fighters. So they didn’t grow up speaking French and eating bree cheese like GSP. So what?
If you can look beyond the surface, you can see these guys are skilled fighters with BJJ training from Cesar Gracie. There’s a Gracie academy here in Seattle where a few of my friends train. Anyone who trains with the Gracies automatically gets my respect.
I’ve tried to like the Diaz brothers, if they win or not doesn’t matter… I still don’t get the hype no matter how hard I tried.
I can live with smack talk but this is just plain stupidity.
Anderson Silva???
I’m not even a fan of Silva but anyone with one single brain cell know the outcome of that fight.
Nick Diaz is such a class act…
War Diaz!.
Grandma Diaz could take KJ Noons and then flip the bird to the camera!
