Theres allways something with these 2... I dont have to go into everything they do, because as a fan on a mma forum im sure you know... its annoying the way these 2 get on, Like 2 Divas...

I was looking Nate to win wed night, but now... naaa..

the straw that broke the camles back was the no show to the UFC conference call..

yeah I hate the diaz brothers, they're nothing special in my eyes... Nick, a true welter weight got knocked the fudge out by a lightweight in Gomi before getting back up from the side effects of pot kicking him to releive his pain... Nate on the other hand just got ragged doll around like a lil girl by Joe "2 feet shorter than him" Stevenson...If they both went away from MMA I'd be happy... we don't need some T.O.'s for MMA as it does for football...

... pot woke him back up from a KNOCKOUT via pain relieving effects? Are you joking?

hope it was a joke, haha.

I've been a chronic for 15 years, never fealt this 'numbness'. Although i do conceed that people who don't smoke much or only a few times probably trip out on all sorts of things, that's simply not how it is for pot heads -- a group to which Diaz certainly belongs. We just feel a little more relaxed, get the munchies and play xbox more than we should.

So true...so so very true :thumb02:

You can get numbness from breathing heavily and the amount of adrenaline your body pumps out in a fight makes it so you aren't feeling pain the same. Weed wouldn't help you in a fight it makes your reaction time slower and isn't stopping you from getting knocked out.

Weed doesn't make you eat anything that is like saying alcohol makes you take a spin in your car. You may want to do basic instinctual acts more on both because your inhibitions are lowered but they don't make you do anything. If you can't control yourself on drugs you can't control yourself off of them. I can get destroyed on weed and alcohol and hold a cogent complex conversation and refrain from doing anything stupid your actions are a you problem not a weed problem.

Weed can give you numbness if you have no tolerance for it and smoke something strong but it isn't anymore dangerous than being drunk and really compared to something like synthetic opiates it is laughable.
I agree that smoking or drinking doesn't "make" you do anything but it certainly can inhibit your decision making process and alter your values at the time. Moreso drinking than smoking. But really, being drunk or high is a poor excuse for anything.

Personally, I, at one time, was a heavy smoker and have never felt numbness but I am aware of friends who claim to have "lost feeling" in their hands. I can't say for sure whether that was a gross exaggeration or an outright lie though.

But I have a feeling Nick is a regular smoker so I doubt he received any "performance enhancing" effects from toking up before a fight. I would think the result would be quite the opposite as some have already said.

i like them both. not the most articulate or thoughtful guys on the planet.. but to me.. they're genuine. look at nate on the ultimate fighter.. he's a fighter.. doesn't take any shit.. wants to fight the other team's best guys.. trains hard.. and comes from behind to win over and over. even spends his free time with a no-hoper like wayne weems.

they aren't trying to impress anyone.. that's just how they are

the diaz brothers are game-bred.

I have no issue with missing a conference call, its not a good thing promotionally but its not something that makes him look bad either, they said he was busy trying to cut and didn't feel like taking the call so it seems to me like the people that do dislike him look for any reason to jump on him.

About the marijuana pain relief, its not effective at treating acute pain and is "mildly" effective for chronic pain but only if its taken daily even then ibuprofen is more effective.

My wife is a oncology nurse and she deals will medical marijuana on a daily basis, we've had many talks about the subject and some of you seem misinformed if you think pain relief from Marijuana had a effect on the outcome of that fight.

he does him self no Favs... 1/2 a pound over at the weigh-ins... maybe the time he missed from the call, he could have been in the steamroom

Seems from the above post he was....:confused05:



He isnt getting his last rights... The Pope talks to God directly, so in essence Brock is recieving a Blessing from God Himself, to have the strength to make Carwins face a smear on the canvas right next to Frank's. :thumb02:




CC you know i gotta bust chops, but werent you saying you disliked Brock for well basically the same reason? :)



i know i gotta stop, im in an area of hijacking this thread... sorry folks. hate Nick respect his skills and toughness.... yadda yadda.... ok were back on topic again! :thumb02:

No cuz when I say they tell it like it is I mean they dont lie. Nick has admitted smoking weed and gives dumb ass reasons as to why it actually might help his performance. Nate mainly I like cuz of how he was on the show and the fact that he is ready to scrap with whoever......

Not sure why you compare that to Brock, not being afraid to say what you think is one thing, but since you asked Brock disrespects the fans and the sport by shitting on their sponsers and geting in the face of a guy that was sorta out on his feet.....Diaz Bros dont do shit like that...

Not the same thing:thumbsup:

]"disrespects"[/b] with the "s," insinuates a continual act, when it was an isolated event which got reprimanded for by Dana.

"shitting on their sponsors," clearly retarded, but again, isolated and reprimanded.

"getting in the face of a guy that was sorta out on his feet," Mir brought that upon himself with a year full of unprovoked smack talking. Mir made it personal for a year and when he's on the receiving end of actions from which he'd sown, suddenly Mir's the victim. There's a time frame for marketing and hype (pre-fights), then there's running your mouth without cause, then expecting to be cool with the guy you've been dumping on for months on end, without purpose or provocation, expect to be a dillusional prick.

The Diaz brothers not giving an eff and Brock not giving an eff are not dissimilar in principle, people are just nit picking at what they approve or disapprove of what came from the same type of attitude and mindset. If Brock was DQ'd from failing a weed drug test, I'd argue he'd would NEVER, regain face, but if a Diaz brother does it, it's all laughs & giggles, because "it's just Nick being Nick, he's a Diaz..."

I like Nick and Nate both, more so Nate, but I hear the same people bragging about how they love the Diaz I don't give a rip attitude, then turn around and rip on Brock for not giving a rip :confused02:

1st. I apologize....disrespected........which in no way takes away rom the fact he did it.....

2. Shitting on sponsers and getting reprimanded makes it okay and undoes the damage....c'mon dude...

3. Regardless of what Mir said their is a fundamental way of respect in this sport, even dudes that have hated each other worse never did anything like that......AGAIN, the fact he talked a buch of shit doesnt make it okay ......yeah he did talk shit, and paid for it and while he still hasnt recovered from paying for it Brock is back in his face.....NO respect or honor....

4. Brock and the Diaz bros not giving an eff is very true and that point I agree with you, its just the manor and delivey that the Diaz bros that make their actions different.....

Nate and Nick also arent the same Draw as Brock so his actions are going to have a greater impact....

im going to point out the EliteXC fight when Nick lost to KJ Noons, after pushing the Dr. and making an exit from the ring pissed off, the fans boo'd Nick and Nick in turn flipped off the crowd booing him and last turning back to KJ and flipping him off. So yeah i do think they are very similar.

Let someone talk $hit to Nate Diaz all over the place for a year and see how polite he acts when they get face to face.

I became a fan of Nates when he was ready to fight Karo on TUF for acting douchey and Karo lost points when he said to Nate, "do you know who I am?"

I'm not trying to convince anyone to "like" Brock, I know why people hate him and I understand, but his attitude is not so different then the Brothers Diaz. Everyone got on Brock for not touching gloves with Mir, whether that's unsportsmen like or not is another discussion, but Nate refused to touch Stevens gloves and Joe offered his hand out like three times (and that's without Joe having ripped on him for months on end, don't let there be a real reason for Nate to not like you). If you argue that's just Nates' pre-fight mentality and it's justified, then that's Brock's post-fight mentality, whatever (except Brock was reprimanded).

Also, I personally found it effing hilarious and bad@$$ when Nate yelled out, "do work bitch!" to Joe during the fight, but had Brock said something like that mid-fight, it'd be a hellstorm of "he's so unprofessional, he's so unsportsmenlike, he's bad for the UFC, blah blah blah."

Watching Diaz show shake Guillard's hand and show him respect after the fight really pissed me off.
 
#84 · (Edited)
LOL....right???? No class, def not a martial artist......:confused05:

CC420

Ugh I didn't see at all how Diaz was going to win this until Guilliard got super cocky.

He was SO much better standing and had awesome throws. Argh this fight sucked. :(

The 35k I put on Diaz feels pretty nice right now, and calling a slick sub in the 2nd round feels even better....:thumbsup:

Melvin always gets caught with subs dude....
