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.
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.
Well, the UFC is a business first and foremost and one that's attempting to break into the mainstream sports market. It's still difficult to sell the UFC to a lot of people because many people view it violent and barbaric, and that'll turn a lot of networks and buyers away. When people watch guys like Nick Diaz have a pre-pubescent meltdown at the weigh ins or flip off his opponents in the cage, they're not going to get a good image and going to think that MMA is just fighting when it's really smething more. Not to mention post fight brawls and regular use of narcotics don't bode well either.
Good point. One of the greatest nights of my life as an MMA fan, one of my favorite fighters wins the interim belt and my least favorite throws a hissy fit and retires. It's unfortunate that retirement didn't last.
video is cool, gives him a couple bucks, but you used this video to talk shit about Dana, But to be honest dude, dana is one the most generous people ive ever seen, especially if he's a little tipsy.
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?
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.
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.
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. If the UFC gave Nick the Nate treatment you'd all be sucking his dick.
But how does Nick, a world class grappler and submission fighter, have a big weakness against wrestlers if, like you said, he hasn't really fought any wrestlers?
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.
