what a tragesty

He is talented no question, but he needs a good, disciplined camp if he ever expects to be a title contender.

Nick Diaz: Fatal mistake trash talking Diego Sanchez
By SunnY SantorO

I know I should know which UFC PPV it was that Diaz fought Sanchez, since I was there, I guess I have been to too many!

Anyways, after Diego Sasnchez beat Nick Diaz, I remember Joe Rogan asking Nick after the fight if he still thought that Diego was not that great a fighter. Diaz went on a speel saying crap about Diego that he still thought he wasnt a great fighter, etc… and I remember the crowd booed him, I mean that was the loudest BOOOOOOOOO I had ever heard at a PPV event!

I said it to my husband and friends there that with those comments Diaz lost alot of fans that night because of his comments. It seems that not only did he fall out of favor with many fans ( he still got booed at fights after the Sanchez one) but he went on a losing streak.

The point is that I think it is unfortunate because Diaz is talented, but seems to be tempermental, moody and nasty with his comments about other fighters.

Because of this, I am not suprised he has left UFC, I am saddened by this, but it will be a good learning lesson for him. If he thinks the grass is greener on the other side, he is saddly mistaken.

When he does realize that he burned his bridges with other fighters and management, he will come back knocking.

Fortunately for Diaz, he is lucky that the UFC does give fighters multiply chances to come back and prove themselves, as we have seen this before and even now.

Good luck Diaz

When you come to your senses…we will hopefully see a new and improved Diaz!

i hope nick diaz comes back to the ufc real soon, he’s too good a fighter to fight for someone other than the ufc…even when he loses he still looks good, i like this kid and hope he comes back and fights many more times in the octagon, he’s a spectators fighter and i love watching him fight…he should get another shot at perhaps the most overrated fighter in ufc history joe riggs

and diego and diaz fought at the tuf 2 finale, not at a ppv

I was talking about Riggs and Diaz — not Diego. Riggs-Diaz was at UFC 57.

i was referring to sunny, that was a good article on riggs and diazs after fight fight though…

In the UFC your career is either going up or down. Diaz and Riggs are both going down – fast. I don’t want to pay to watch mediocre fighters.

I THINK IN MANY WAYS THE LAWLER KNOCK OUT HURT DIAZ MORE THAN IT HELPED. THIS KID HAS GREAT GROUND SKILLZ, BUT NOW HE THINKS HES A BOXER AND IT HASNT WENT WELL. THE ONLY DIAZ FIGHT IM INTERESTED IN SEEING IS A LAWLER REMATCH.

Nick Diaz threw a sucker punch and Riggs! Don’t make it seem like it was this huge battle! Nick punched Riggs when he wasn’t expecting it, and it did not drop Riggs!

Diaz is a great fighter & only getting better. They took his win over Gomi for smoking pot, what have they done to all the other fighters that have been testing positive, like that God fearing, hypocrite Diego. At least WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET with Diaz. I’ll take a kid with attitude over a hypocrite any day. Dana White is a PUNK. UFC under pays their fighters & if you’re not on the A list look out , you’ll be fighting some frickin winner off TUFC like St. Piere did. Just hope like hell your name is Liddel, Hughs,or Franklin so you can get top billing & SOME money.

watch nick diaz,when he comes off his suspension,it will be like taking the chains off a blood thursty lion.they try to say that smokin weed help nick against gomi,bullshit if anything i think it hurt,i love watching nick diaz from my hometown stockton california,i just hope he cleans up his act with the weed situation,he doesnt need it to be one of the best fighters in the world……period

lol the “ufc underpays their fighters” card again. ufc has sh1tloads of fighters and you expect them to all be paid a fortune? it’s logic really..no matter how much the ufc pays them other organisations are always going to offer more because they want the best fighters from ufc with them. :P
