Nick Diaz wants GSP fight, apologizes for not making it to the "Beauty Pageant"

hes such a bitch

Actually a solid idea.

I think Dana's talking to Dan Hardy, just have a feeling they know that will be a crazy fight. I know BJ could kill hardy with BJJ, but Hardy would have the size and reach advantage and they know it will be fireworks as BJ would never back down from a fist fight. Don't think Dana will give Diaz BJ, he's going to leave him in limbo for a while.



Just guesses but that's my thoughts.

your a genius

It's you're not your - nice try though.

BJ will KO Hardy. His boxing is too tight and fast for him.

I'm still a Diaz fan...sucks that hes out of the title fight but I would still love to see him fight anyone doesn't matter who it is

that s like when he Tested bad when he was going to fight a guy who had a great chance at beating him and he would of lost his title so so refused the test and somehow keep his belt claiming some BS and mis justice....when it comes to really high level fights he has issues im not

saying he knew he would be cut but did know they would be pissed and might be cut.... come on he is a vet in the sport but now can say what ever makes him a bad as in his mind on how they are against him and know some how how would of won tired of the same old shit with him is old some time will have to be a man and say to himself

would I want my son to be like this and how would I want him to be

not the get high im from Stockton so im a gangster shit... look i grew up poor very bad part of town and after a short stay in a state hotel

it didnt help me but my lil girl came and I had bad habits to break

and attitude to change but as i grew up still have an relapse of attitude

here and there but come on IM a man now grow up doing this long enough know what u have to do for your work phuck off and do it

Smart fighter, dumb ass person

"I'm ready to fight"? If he was ready to fight he would have been at the press conference. We still don't even know why he wasn't there. Keep bitching and moaning, Diaz, for the moment it's all you've got left.

Nick diaz comes to fight if dana thought he actually wouldnt show to face GSP then hes an idiot. I guess dana has enough $$ now that hes willing to sacrifice ppv buys cuz noway GSP vs Condit would outsell GSP vs Diaz. Whatever lets make Penn vs Diaz happen

Lol, how much of a Diaz nuthugger do you have to be to blame Dana for this when even Cesar Gracie is saying Dana did the right thing and Nick got what he deserves?

Yeah, I agree. Nick's job is not just to fight but also to promote the fight. He puts no effort into that aspect of his job. Nick knows from previous experience that Dana is a hard ass and wont put up with Nick BS. Does he really to be let go again before he figures that out?

Nick Diaz is scared of GSP. he gets dominated in practice by Shields and sees how easily Shields TD were stuffed by GSP and knows hes in for a rude awakening.

So he finds a way to back out of the fight in a way that would not expose him for being afraid.

He is way too accepting in this video for it to be otherwise. If hes not cut, Dana should put him with BJ Penn then.

Yeah, because Shields tried so many takedowns against GSP....

@Spyridon

He tried maybe one, and probably was gearing up for a second but thats how GSP broke him. Remember after the first round Shields asked his corner "What do I do?"

Obviously his first game plan was to take GSP down and try to submit him, and when that didnt work he had no choice but to stand.



Or do you think Shields' game plan was to stand with GSP the entire time....



(Think before you type Spyridon)

So that's why he didn't show up. Very informative.

Nick lied to Dana face to face, he agreed to these terms to get this title shot, and he punked out there is no one else to blame but Nick.

How about Penn vs Rory Macdonald? Let's see what the kid has got.

I would rather buy this fight than the old match-up. You are way too juiced up on the Diaz hype train.

Talking about the video, not you Griffin. You can still weak me if you want.

Even Caesar Gracie won't back Diaz on this one.

So give him BJ Penn! Good test for both Diaz and Penn, and probably more exciting...

what a f---king loser he is. He doesn't deserve the fight with GSP or even be back in the UFC, not even in the same class at all, as you can see from his bullshit video.



you snooze you lose....loser!!!!



And yes he is such a big BITCH....LMFAO!!!!!!!

you said it right jpink19

That was pathetic. It's everybody else's fault other than his own as usual. F*ck him. With this BS it's virtually a guarantee that Dana's probably going to cut him and he'll be 100% justified in doing so.

is that guy serious? he's talking like it's a not a big deal. I mean you have just pulled of a M-E where u would have made a shit load a money.

IT'S YOU JOB to making it to the "Beauty Pageant", nick, that why u signed the contract.



after that he's gonna complain about his shitty Honda and how he doesn't get pay.

bitching like always. his fault

Nick, I was really counting on you to change the face of the UFC WW division, but you kind of let me down. Not sure what really happened yet ,however I have to admit that I'm still disappointed. I guess i'll still be rooting for Condit after all.

Condit is the man on my list of fav fighters, Im so siked for this fight!

if you want to get paid then you fulfill your contractual obligations to the UFC in full which includes media appearances and promotion for the fight, you cant just say "Im ready to fight, Ill fight anyone" and think that makes other aspects of your contract null and void. Showing up on fight night is not enough Nick, your a tool....

"I wanna get paid, I wanna get paid, I wanna get paid"... Then do your job like a good lil show pony and show up for the press conference like you were told to... How hard is that? If an employee doesn't show up to work they get their hands slapped, easy philosophy.

****ing punk. the ufc is not just a provider for fights, it is a business and the press conferences are like business meetings, if you skip two business meetings at a office job you would definitely get fired and not get payed, i don't see why this punk piece of shit should have it any differently

Nick's a great fighter, but an absolute idiot. Who would blow a shot like that? He's his own worst enemy. Seriously.

I think Nick Diaz is a good fighter--but I have never been a fan of either him or his brother Nate's personal qualities. Both are idiot punks.



That said, I really have to state the palpably obvious:: Diaz is not right in the head. This video proves that he really doesn't get it.



It is my guess that Nick passed up a total of 1 million dollars in total payout for this fight--and for what?



I actually feel sorry for the dumb fvck.

I know he is a rebel and all that shit but come on Nick was it that ****ing hard to showed up for the ****ing beauty pageant?, for ****s sake you are having that selfish attitude so usual on ****ing drugadicts and people still thinks pot does not hurt, what about making you social incapable? you wanted the figth, you asked for it, show up to the ****ing press conference ****in pot head, quit that shit, you will never reach your potential smoking that stupid shit...



You are letting down your fans, there is money out there for you but you need to play the game, for the first time in my life I think I am with Dana on this one, you need to get your shit together...

by the way the only one that does not want you to win is yourself quit blaming everyone else...

NIck could've called Dana and told him that he missed his flight, or any bs excuse. He could've done the conference on the phone instead of doing a no show. Damn Nick...

Nick, people don't take you seriously and that is why you don't get paid. I have always been a fan of Nick, but these recent actions, and getting pulled for a CHAMPIONSHIP fight as a result is a joke. Then, instead of getting on a video and saying, "I'm sorry, I have been going through some hard times...I apologize to my fans...I'll work hard to get another shot..." he talks about getting paid?! WTF!? I don't think Nick should go to a press conference in the first place b/c what's he gonna do walk up and give GSP the finger? I'd rather have a champ w/ some class and is willing to put the sport ahead of themselves like GSP. I'm not a huge GSP fan, but he works to achieve and is willing to put in the effort and not disrespect the sport, his team/coaches and the UFC for personal gain. After all this is "MMA" mixed MARTIAL ARTS. Where you show respect, discipline, and honor. Nick has shown zero of the above in regards to principals of martial art. Sad for the talent he has...sad.

dude condit made this guy look like a bitch. diaz signed a contract knew what he had to do and still refused to go to the press conferences. condit gets the called and leaves for the airport within hours of the phone call to make sure he can make the media dates. that just proves Condit wants this

I understand when you wanna say **** this,I don't feel I should have to this!But pick your moments guy..

You're scared hommie!!!

Feed this Bi-Polar bitch to Penn, so he can take his frustration out on him for ****in' up his matchup with Condit !!

You guys a bunch of whiny bitches. Go spill your period blood elsewhere. Im sick of hearing bitches like you cry over Nick missing these pointless pre-fight bs meetings. He fights, thats all he does. He doesnt want to talk to these pencil neck geeks, he just wants to smash peoples faces. Get over it, you big bitches.

When you gurgle that loudly with Nick Diaz's semen in your mouth it almost sounds like you're saying something.

Nick Diaz needs to fulfill his media responsibility he has been in MMA long enough to know that it's more than fighting it's also the promotion of the fight. The excuse of not wanting to turn up to the "Beauty Pageant" is weak and shows a lack of respect to everyone not just to the UFC. Nick wants to get a big pay day which he is entitled too BUT you have to follow the commitment that comes with the BIG pay day.

Waking up and reading this makes me feel today's gonna be sh*t

I stopped the video halfway. Don't get me wrong, I like Diaz and I absolutely love watching him fight. It's just getting tiresome listening to his same old crap. "I'm ready to fight, whatever, whomever, wherever etc"

Look, he knew this was probably going to happen, so why did he do it? The stress was coming to him, he should STFU about anything else and just F'in apologize like a man, something like this "Look Dana, I'm very sorry I missed the PC's I don't know what to say, I deserve to be removed from the GSP fight but I really want to make it up to you, UFC and the fans. Cause you know what, the fans more than anything want to see this fight, were hyped about this fight and he not only let Zuffa down, he let all of his fans down. Show some respect to your fans Nick, show that you do care. And stop whining like a little bitch when things like this happens.

FOOL!!!!!!

LOL- Carlos "Conduit". I want this fight but, yea, every time I hear this guy speak I realize what an idiot he really is. Yelling "f*ck your mother" to some driver on the freeway, talking about "getting paid" again and the "whatever" every other word- he sounds like he's 12. So, I guess I can see why Dana would kick him off the card. He really has no one to blame but himself.

the guy just desises the press circus and I can't blame him.

but its a job too so you gotta play the game here I guess.

I don't know...somehow I like him for not wanting to deal with all the bs but I hate that the fight doesn't happen...dammit.

Dude, you are not Brock Lesnar, Dana is not gonna stand for your BS. You are well known among MMA fans but far from being a super star/ household name that can punch his ticket. Your are a pro athlete, so f@cking act like one. No one says you have to love the press or be a golden boy like GSP, but you need to show up. Last minute texts saying you cant show is unprofessional in any field.



I like Diaz, enjoy watching him fight, but he needs to grow up. The pro-fight industry does not simply exist so Nick Diaz can "get paid". I wish his camp mates would talk some sense into him.

nick puts everything on the line in the ring, that should be enough!! everybody who saw an interview with him knows that he is not a talker, thats not his thing, so he shouldnt be punished for that. everybody cant be mr nice guy like GSP. thats the way it is.

if you look at the top in any other sport you will always find that kind of personalitys....

Dana is also sacryfing BJ Penn for the means of his own Ego. BJ has done enough for the sport to be treated better...

Dana White is a business man. If he bent to the whims and eccentricities of every fighter who gave him trouble, he wouldn't be a very successful business man. They call it the fight GAME for a reason. Diaz would be wise to start playing that game.

Ha f**k Nick Diaz,I think hes a really good fighter but he had 3 chances man,its a job at the end of the day and he didnt show up so he cant blame any1 but his self.Condit GSP will be a better fight anyway!!!

For so long he's complained about being underpaid. He gets the chance to make a huge pay check, bigger than he's ever gotten & the goes MIA? What an idiot. And the so called "beauty pageants" are part of MMA. They help sell the fight which in turn pays the fighters. I hope this is a wake up call for the guy.

And enough with the stupid car vids!

fighters should show up to fight, the rest is irrelevant.

Nick vs GSP was a fight I was hoping to see. Now, because of Dana being the control freak that he is this is off. Of course, not showing for a press conference is bad business, but to cancel a fight because of that is unheard of. With the Fox deal the UFC is becoming mainstream and Dana needs to act mainstream or take his self-indulgent antiques elsewhere.

finally someone is talking sense. this is some drama queen bs and everyone is "oh so shocked, OMG..." yeah very tough behavour that.

I don't think Dana's being a control freak here. He gave Nick three chances to get on a flight and get to the press conference. Nick said he'd do it, and he didn't, and that makes him a liar. Not to mention he never told Dana he wouldn't make it, which makes him very dishonest.



He's always been unprofessional. As much as I disagree with Dana's business sense, I agree with him. Nick's acting like a spoiled child. It's not even that hard. He had two jobs here, promote the main event, and fight. He's proven he can't even handle the most remedial of responsibilities, so what business does he have carrying a main event like this? Plain and simple.

I love how Diaz is acting the tough guy when he has been hiding like a little bitch. Diaz, grow up and act like a man.

When you are given that sort of oppertunity and paid that much, you do what you are told! It's not exactly hard to attend press conferences and represent the company that is paying. He is a brilliant fighter, but he needs to realise mma isn't just fighting, its a business thats main aim is to promote and make money. Just seems a very immature attitude.

Like I said the other day.....all you did was keep yourself from gettin' a good old fashioned,passionate ass whoopin'!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder why Diaz has never been able to connect the dots good fighter + no pr = decent money, good fighter + great pr = great money

You guys are crazy if you are suggesting ufc should put diaz against penn.

If I were dana i would cut diaz immediately. No UFC, no STRIKEFORCE. Bellator here comes Nick Diaz.......

What kills me is that this chick sneaks out of Caesar Gracie's back dopr to his house ans is gone. Lastly, listen to Nick on this video, he makes it sound that he is on his way back from missing his flight in the morning. Wrong Nick, you had another flight at 4pm and then later that same night 9-10. 3strikes your out to Bellator....
