While everyone online and Dana are making a big deal over some unanswered phone calls and texts, Nick is out on the streets giving homeless men his hard earned money.

Diaz could give my uncle his kidney and I would probably root against him.

Giving a homeless guy some money doesn't make up for years of embarrassing the sport with unprofessional behavior.

You are right, post fight brawls are something that should be heavily looked down upon, but for the most part he's kept his nose clean* the last couple of years and he's always given us wars and been friendly to the fans. Like him or dislike him, MMA is better with him around.


*You and I probably have a different definition of a clean nose.

Lol at people that get so worked up and have general hate for a fighter that they never met or know personally.

Hate is strong. I try not to hate anyone in my everyday life, but it happens. But definatly not people I never even met.

Cheer up mate, nothing is as bad as it seems and probably not as good as it seems either. Good luck to you.

This is a sport where grown men punch eachother in the face and try and break each other's bones, not hug and caress one another. And I'm not trying to be a jerk but as a woman you probably don't understand that there is a testosterone factor to this sport. It's fun to see guys like Nick Diaz go toe to toe and basically tell his boss to screw off. It's entertainment. Diaz just doesn't give a damn and that's why people like him.
A "testosterone" factor? I watch this sport for the same reasons you do. I like seeing guys and girls punch eachother in the face and I also like watching different disciplines come together in one fluid motion. Just because I have chesticles rather than testicles doesn't mean I don't enjoy the more rugged parts of the sport, so to speak.

As for the latter part of this paragraph I'll have to disagree. You may find that sort of crap entertaining, but I don't. This isn't WWF where we have Steve Austin telling Vince McMahon to screw off, this is the UFC, an organization of professionals.

Can you imagine how boring the sport would be if every fighter was the same? I can appreciate guys like Rich Franklin and Junior dos Santos who are upstanding guys that shake hands and touch gloves, but I can also appreciate guy like Rampage and Diaz who are true fighters at heart because it adds diversity to this awesome sport. Personalities create entertainment and rivalries which breed fan interest.
This is just a matter of personal taste then. I don't mind Rampage all that much (his recent behavior and his joyride aside) but Diaz is someone that regularly puts the sport in a bad light. I can appreciate what he brings to the cage because he has a unique style, but I don't appreciate his personality because it adds nothing positive to the sport.

Your stand's coming from a corporate standpoint, as if the organization is more important than the fighters who risk their bodies and pride in the O. A lot of fans (not just Diaz fans) will say otherwise. Plus I don't think being real and not putting on some fake PR crap damages the UFC at all. If you're cool watching two dudes bloody themselves up, I guess some trash talk and middle fingers shouldn't be so bad. Why settle for black and white when you can have it in technicolor?

I'm the kind of guy that would meet Dana and buy him a drink, forgetting that he's the dude that tips people 100k. One night I was at a dude I don't really know's birthday party. It was in the local pub, which he owns, and I was ADAMENT on buying him a drink. It was HIS mah****ing pub...did I think he was paying?

If Diaz was your mother you would still hate him.
Are there only black or white? 0% or 100%?
Or actually someone could think Diaz is just OK, ore merely dislike him. I merely dislike him.
Sure Diaz is not all bad. He is a good talented fighter, but he produces more reasons to be disliked than people you are calling haters give to you to label them like that.
Diaz doesn't need to cure Cancer or AIDS, but if he would stop cursing his co workers and showing middle fingers to them and going to press conferences that would awesome. Guy wanna have an unique attitude, so he must bear the unique response for that.
You calling people Diaz haters is the same as yourself being called his nutt hugger. Think about that.

@AmericanFighter.

It's really not that hard to see that he was walking with MiddleEasyTV and doing some sort of interview/daily events thing and came across this guy. Everyone should just remove the hate glasses and take this thread for what it is.

Diaz fans crack me up - Nick gives a homeless guy a dollar and they all crow from the mountain top how he gave him a stack. What "stack"? lol

Disagree.
If they ever fought again I'm almost certain Condit would win more clearly than last time. And I doubt Diaz gets past the likes of GSP, Hendricks, Ellenberger, Fitch, Maia, Stun Gun, Pierce, Rory, and Koscheck. The only decent welterweight fighters I can see Diaz beating are Alves and Kampmann.

Nick could learn a lot from Nate. Nate keeps his mouth shut and Dana feeds him guys he can beat.
I don't see the logic here, man. Lots of low profile fighters getting all sorts of opponents. Why you think that?

If the UFC gave Nick the Nate treatment you'd all be sucking his dick.
If this is what it takes to be Nick fan, I will proudly accept the haters hat some people are trying to present me with. :D

Because he hasn't fought any of them recently, he has fought wrestlers before but he lost to them, it's the same thing with Nate, they try and fight off their back but fighting off your back won't win you fights in MMA unless you can finish.
