Lol he wants a rematch.

What can you do differently sir?

 

[kassatsu]

Diaz a better match up for Silva... yea ok.

 

[alr1ght]

Lol Nick calling out GSP and Andy.

 

[Neffarias_Bredd]

So Diaz just said he can beat GSP and wants a rematch at the press conference

 

[Noirulus]

"I could sit here and make a million excuses, but..."

Goes on to make nothing but excuses. :lol

 

[Kenny Blankenship]

he sure can talk....

 

[Macattk15]

Waaaaah no one would help me.

Who you gonna train against for wrestling? Hendricks?

 

[Officerrob]

One excuse after another

 

[Panzon]

Diaz is soo awkward

 

[Norml]

At least Nick looks like he won the fight physically.

 

[Heel]

Compare their faces and you can see that Nick won under the superior PRIDE rule set. GSP would have been yellow carded roughly 11 times and actually owe money to the Yakuza.

 

[Officerrob]

Even more excuses

 

[Luixfern]

Dat jetlag.

 

[Macattk15]

Holy FUCK. Making time zone excuses?

You're fucking kidding me.

You're a joke dude.

 

[Noirulus]

Nick really needs to go back and finish high school.

 

[Jayhawk]

Nick Diaz making time zone excuses when he used to fight in Japan.

 

[Officerrob]

This is embarrassing

 

[Luixfern]

Nick Diaz has never paid taxes... lmao!

 

[Neffarias_Bredd]

Must be so awkward for Hendricks to be sitting between the two

 

[Heel]

Nick Diaz vs. a debuting Melvin Manhoef at 170

Let's show these GSP apologists what a real fucking scrap looks like.

 

[Noirulus]

The reporters are just baiting him at this point lololol

 

[alr1ght]

This is fucking gold. Nick says he's never paid taxes.

 

[Zeliard]

Nick Diaz spitting truth.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Nick I love ya buddy but if you thought what GSP did was bad, Silva would drop you.

 

[TheChits]

Diaz is full on heel

 

[perryfarrell]

He should have his own solo show. Hour-long monologues by Nick Diaz.

 

[Heel]

Nick Diaz spitting truth.

I dunno how anyone can deny what Nick is saying. Unified rules are killing the entertainment of this sport.

 

[Officerrob]

Diaz is full on heel

He's more full on stupid

 

[Macattk15]

I dunno how anyone can deny what Nick is saying. Unified rules are killing the entertainment of this sport.

I also can't deny he is a fucking retard. And a cry baby. And a child.

 

[JB1981]

Nick is hilarious in this press conf

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I died of laughter in that presser.

 

[M_A_C]

Nick is hilarious in this press conf

Yeah, he is great. Even GSP was LOLing.

 

[Noirulus]

"I think I'm done, I've barely got any time to relax between all these fights."

10 minutes later

"I'm not done you know, those 5 rounds woke me up"

Oh Nick.

 

[Officerrob]

Nick Diaz needs help. No sane person admits to tax evasion at a press conference

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

We laugh but I think he has mental issues. It's probably sad. But it's hilarious.

 

[Seik]

Dude is salty as hell.

 

[Norml]

"I think I'm done, I've barely got any time to relax between all these fights."

10 minutes later

"I'm not done you know, those 5 rounds woke me up"

Oh Nick.

He said his sleep time was messed up.Nick would have done better if was more aggressive.

Nick is taking a very odd position regarding active ground fights in MMA. If you stand up the fighters quicker, it only encourages the person on the bottom to simply tie the guy on top up with a tight closed guard. An active ground fight requires not only intent by the person on top, but also for person on bottom to work for submissions, sweeps, to stand up, and/or strike. Too often we see the bottom guy close their ground game up with a tight closed guard then look for the ref to stand it up. Pride would punish guys on the bottom for this with yellow cards, the UFC rewards it with a stand up.

 

[MrToughPants]

Damn Diaz needs a hug.

Nevermind, GSP already hugged 'em for 25 minutes.

 

[Macattk15]

Damn Diaz needs a hug.

Nevermind, GSP already hugged 'em for 25 minutes.

Diaz was too sleepy for him to do anything else but hug it out.

 

[Hex]

Now he will go cry in a bi -polar fetal position knowing that he got completely handled no matter how much he tries to play it off. Then he looked like more of a jack ass than normal after the fight and probably put himself pretty damned close to the cutting line.

 

[alr1ght]

Lol, Dana isn't cutting Nick. Everyone reacting here will pay to see him get his ass kicked next fight.

As much as I wanted GSP to actually finish a fight, he was aways active and working.
Diaz is is really looking pathetic and bitter, and I am not even big GSP fan.

I dunno what you mean. His stance is if you take away elbows you're forced to posture up to punch with your fists, which allows the guy on the bottom to have room to escape or work a submission. Nick isn't asking for an opportunity to stall on the bottom.

 

[Hex]

I agree, that is why I said close to.

 

[Jitters]

Nick killed it at the conference.

 

[Macattk15]

Nick is 5-5 in UFC. Can only beat up old man washed up BJ Penn.

Don't really see why he gets any top shots.

Why doesn't he go try boxing so I can see real boxers kick his ass if he wants to stand and fight everyone?

If i heard correctly, Diaz suggested there should be quicker stand ups. I feel such an approach would only perpetuate the problem of stalling on the ground, because a bottom guy can tie a guy up on top with a tight game to make it an inactive ground fight, and thus result in a stand up. Quicker stand ups will result in more inactive bottom fighters.

A yellow card for stalling, top or bottom, isn't a simple warning. It's a percentage off your purse and the equivalent of a mixed martial cattle prod. Problem solved.
