PrintThe statement comes in around the 3:40 mark ... everything prior to that is quintessential Nick Diaz commentary:

He’s really grown as a man! All these guys who think Leben has “grown up” because he turned himself in should take a listen to this interview and Nick Diaz 3-4 years ago. It’s like a different person is talking! He’s always been one of my favorite fighters. He hopefully has learned that he doesn’t have to take a bunch of punches and then attack, and will come out on fire every time now!

I dont even care about this dumb rematch…nick is going to hurt Noons badly! I am much more interested in seeing how Diaz vs. Sakurai for the DREAM title plays out because that could be one of the toughest match ups of Nick’s career..

That fight is going to be awesome!
And did anyone else notice the camera guy often panned to the left and checked out the cute blonde interviewing Lawler? lol

He does seem different. I was able to understand most of the words that came out of his mouth. Very little slurring. haha

Diaz is the man. I saw Lawler in the background I wonder if they had any choice words for eachother.

yea… thats what i was saying. ref stopped the fight way too much. one time, ref wiped the other guy’s blood off his face and then used the same towel to wipe nick’s face, but nick’s face didn’t even have anything on it! WTF?! LOL! was looking forward to Nick headstomping Sakurai. good to see him putting more weight behind his punches. first standing TKO i ever saw. lol hope he chokes Sakurai’s head dark blue/purple.

that was funny when he said even my brother Nate hits harder than that in sparring, referring to KJ’s punches.

I really hate at the end how EliteXC promotes only one fighter from (almost) each bout. That’s messed up for a supposed competition brand…

Nick and Robbie are completely cool with each other.. they were at the press conference together and the autograph session at Best Buy afterwards.

I love how the Diaz bros fight but I’ve heard both sides of the Noons fiasco and Nick comes off as a nut. At this point in his career he needs to not take things so personal.

Nick is defineely one of the most underrated fighters out there. Probably because so many people hate his cocky attitude (his brother included). Personally I think he plays a very good villain without trying o play the part.
He’s also one of the most exciting fighters standing or on the ground. I love a fighter that can effectively use the rubber guard.
It’s crazy he’s not rated as a top 10 lightweight after he submitted the #1 ranked lightweight “Takanori Gomi” with a gogoplata. I don’t care if he was ripping the waterbong before the match. I mean we’re not talking about a performance enhancing drug here.

UNDERrated? Diaz is the most overrated fighter in all of mma. He is living off that Gomi win, and nothing else. He lost to Joe Riggs for god’s sake. And before KJ Noons he got a pretty nice gift against… who? That’s right

Come on you can’t be serious, what makes him overrated? he isnt ranked in any top tens? When u beat the number 1 in the world when you yourself are not ranked, its called underrated.

I hope he breaks his face again. Can’t stand that dopehead

Both Diaz brothers have some sick jitz skills. Its great to see them go to the ground, stay busy, punch from the bottom or always working for a submission. I try to not pay to much attention to the shit talking before and after matches and focus on what happens after the bell rings.

MR NICK “HIT AND GET DROPPED” DIAZ..Shouldnt worry about Noons just yet. He needs to worry about the fightsin America that drug test!!!

SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE CRAZIER THAN NICK. NICK HAD REALLY CLOSE FIGHTS AGAINST KARO, DIEGO, AND JOE RIGGS. IT COULD HAVE GONE EITHER WAY. IF THE JUDGES DIDNT HATE HIM SO MUCH, NICK COULD STILL BE IN THE WW MIX WITH GSP, FITCH, AND HUGHES. YOU KNOW IT.

You have got to be kidding. That or you smoke better stuff than Nick.

TKO is a bitch. If I saw you on the street, i’d gladly knock you out :)
let me guess, you never made the JV wrestling team as a senior in HS?
