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..
Personally I quite like their "**** authority" attitude, the thing I respect about it, is that they are being genuine. As opposed to when Tito does it, it feels like the WWE sherade. I don't agree with it, infact I think most of the stuff they say is fairly ignorant. But I always respect a man who stands up for his beliefs and principles- to an extent. Before one of you smart-asses mentions extremists
However, I will agree with you that they have made stupid decisions that will forever put a dent in any legacy they may leave. Nick especially.
I'm irritated at Nick and his glamorization of pot. Hell I smoke the stuff too much my self, but I'm not a professional MMA fighter. I'm talking about the gomi incident, what a fantastic win that will be taken away from him. And the recent strikeforce incident, just a waste of time, opportunities, and money. Not to mention his managers, the fans, his trainers. Really stupid move by him.
Nate I don't find my self getting quite as irritated at. Missing the press-confrence was one thing, but I don't quite classify it as bad as some other actions performed by fighters. Who shall remain nameless, I'm sure you can guess.
They're just being morons. Sincerity has nothing to do with the inability to distinguish between a real fight and one's job. Both of the brothers are like that, and it makes me sick. So, I'd have to go with the OP on this one and say that I've just never really liked either of them.
WAR DIAZ BROS! WHERE'S MY SHOE! AINT NO BITCH! how can you not love these guys? I love nick and nate like bros.

That's nothing but a failure of the system. How many times have you seen other fighters talk about drinking beers? What's the difference? Nothing but politics. Who cares if he had the Gomi win taken from him? Everyone who matters knows who won that fight. Seriously, I doubt Gomi brags about that fight to his friends, about how he would have won had Nick not smoked pot before the fight.
How is it a failure of the system? It's pretty simple to accept that pot and beer fall under different categories. Regardless of the effects or user. They have different social acceptances. It is a lot more than politics. Politics is the overal surface of the subject but there is far more depth to it.
The win was taken from him, some one must have cared enough to change it. In fact I've seen reputable members on this forum discredit him for it, as well as other professional MMA fighters. I agree with you Gomi got beat fair and square, I don't think the pot played any factor at all. But he should have just refrained from smoking for a couple of weeks.
And come on man, the strikeforce incident? That was a big slap in the face for everyone involved.
Nate doesnt bug me as much as Nick.... if Nick never fights again, i wouldnt lose a minute of sleep over it. to steal Matt Serra's quote "He's a dick.... a very talented dick..... but he's still a dick."
the two are very tough and very talented, just hoodlums too if you ask me.
yeah yeah point at my sig, but that just makes me love him more, people get all on some of the things he's said, then look at Nick and laugh at the dumb disrespectful stuff and laugh cuz its Nick.....
This is off topic....but I am glad Brock is getting read his last rights in your sig pic before Shane Carwin knocks his head off...It's a joke so don't get angry!
I wonder if there is anyone who dislike both Matt Hughes and the Diaz brothers.
I like the Diaz brothers, they are as dumb as you can get, but they don't seem like Bullies, and thats pretty much the only thing that I dislike in people.
The Diaz bros. are the **** excting to watch especially when Nick made a total tool out of Frank Shamrock, that was priceless or subbing Gomi with a gogoplta. Its getting old how athletes are supposed to act like they are white collar conservative business phoneys, they are fighters, they beat people up for a living. And as for pot, who cares! is pot bad because society says so? I have police friends I met training jitz who smoke it. Alcohol kills people just by overusing it, its literally poison but weed, when was the last time somebody killed a whole family driving down the road on weed? or woke up in prison cause they blacked out and did something stupid on weed? Who smokes weed and wakes up in the morning with a frikin whale? In society what is wrong today will become good tomarrow and vise versa. I love their lack of respect for authority.
Their out of the ring antics are childish and very unprofessional. But it's nothing new...there is a reason why Nick is not in the UFC. You cant say they dont put on great fights however. They talk shit AND back it up.
and that reason is that he chose not to renew his contract. dana didn't cut him or anything. At the time, Cesar Gracie was in the process of forming his own promotion, and Nick didn't want to be locked into a UFC contract when Cesar would definitely have made him the star of that org. It didn't work out, but since then Nick has had little trouble finding work in Strikeforce and Dream, and has said he prefers fighting in Japan anyway, probably because their judges view jitz work more favorable than American judges.
As far as I know, Dana would not be adverse to picking Nick back up again, he's exciting, talented, and sells the show.
Nick's one of my new favourite fighters. I love the way he fights, I like the fact that he's an outspoken pot-head and I like his attitude. The only thing ruining my complete man-crush of him is the fact that he's a bit thick.
The sanchez fight in particular ws a varitable jits demo. The perfect example, in my opinion, in judges needing to learn the jits game before judging MMA.
They were hittin switches all fight long, it was absolutely wicked from a grappling standpoint. One of the best UFC fights ever, imo. I too thought that Diaz won it handidly.
I don't dissagree, that fighting off his back has cost him points, but i think that's a judging issue rather than a fighting issue. Judges need to learn more about the jits game, still. I'd love to see Diaz in some no-time-limit fights like Pride threw in the old days. That is a format that Nick would kill at.
I like both of em. No problem with Nick's outspokenness on smoking pot whatsoever. I feel they are very genuine and they generally say what they mean and they talk shit fully intending to back it up.
I would much rather appreciate the fighting prowess of the Diaz brothers then watching these lil cupcake image fighters with their painted toe nails, over the top tattooing and fruit cup hair cuts.
i love the diaz brothers, someone on this thread had touched on they are sick of people acting like white collar ass holles, so true, i hate how people boo nick because he won't come out and slap hands and hug and all that crap. um youre in a fight, nick is almost always humble towards his opponent after the fight win or lose, thats when is the time to touch hands and stuff, and the diaz brothers just stand up for what they believe in, its unfortunate that the scoring system just doesn't work out for nick because even tho he's on his back he is fighting and imo winning most of the times

false. look back, after diego he throws a shoe at him back stage, after joe riggs he sucker punches him at the hospital, kj noons he pushes the dr flips off the crowd as he leaves and pushed a camera man backstage. he acts all humble and cool when he wins, when he loses its everyone elses fault and he throws a temper tantrum.
