Nick Diaz shows up 45 minutes late to UFC 137 conference call

File this one under "least surprising thing to happen today."
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) today held a conference call for the media to promote its upcoming UFC 137 event that will take place on Oct. 29 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Thanks to a knee injury suffered by Georges St. Pierre, the B.J. Penn vs. Nick Diaz fight was bumped up to the main event, which, naturally, means Diaz will have to fulfill a few more promotional duties.
The first of which was today's call but, surprise surprise, the Stockton slugger was nowhere to be found.
When asked, UFC Director of Communications Dave Sholler confirmed that Diaz was, in fact, supposed to be on the call and that steps were being taken to find out where he is.
Finally, 45 minutes into the call, Diaz was located and joined the call. And immediately he claimed he had no idea about a call taking place today:
"I didn't even know there was a call. I was sleeping then my brother tells me there's a call so here I am."
UFC President Dana White expressed his frustration at the situation on Twitter by saying, "I'm hearing UFC dropped the ball on the Nick Diaz no show today!! SUCKS."
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Diaz's opponent, B.J. Penn, actually bothered to show up for the call on time and of course he was asked what his thoughts are on Diaz's disappearing act. Here was his response:
"Nick is Nick. That has nothing to do with me. He does always show up for the fight."
Thankfully, this means everything will go ahead as planned, which is good because this card could not have handled another high profile fight dropping out.
Especially this one.
"All's well that ends well," said Sholler about Diaz waiting so long to join the call.
Diaz maintains that he does what his manager tells him, nothing more, nothing less. He just wants to train and fight and that's all there is to it.
If only that were so, right?

Diaz is hilarious. He can’t even be bothered to get out of bed for a phone call press conference.

He could have taken the call from bed if you really think about it lol

The less places it can go the better now. It’s hard enough to get one show within 6 hours of your house now. Stop fucking sanctioning everywhere so the people that have been buying tickets to their first 14 years of shows can continue to go.
Fuck NY if they want to take a decade to pull their heads from their asses.

Its not about the UFC though Jay. Its about MMA. The sport still isnt legal in all of our country. Let alone the world.
We need to legalize NY as it will be a huge step forward in terms of really turning MMA main stream

The sport is under two decades old Jay. Mainstream sports have well over 100 years in existence

They haven’t always been 100 years old. Fighting isn’t actually 20 years old, people have heard of fighting for a long time. The rules and shit may be 20 years old, but martial arts are older than any mainstream sport.
There’s a ceiling for this sort of violence. I think the UFC is there or very close to being there. I doubt being sanctioned in one more state is going to flip the switch. I know there’s a lot of media in NY, but that hasn’t meant shit since the invent of aviary travel.
NY is a symbol to you Americans. That is it.
Being sanctioned in 50 states or 47 states isn’t going to change the publics perception of MMA. They’ve all seen it. The ones that like have decided to watch. The ones that don’t like it aren’t going to start watching because NY approves of it.
That’s what I mean by sanctioning in NY doesn’t mean as much as some people like to think it does.
We're only months away from the triumphant return of the Predator. The MW division will never be the same again.
Those sports didnt get their fan base in under 20 years. MMA has existed for less then 20 years.
Combat sports and Jiu Jitsu, Karate, etc may have existed but not MMA. The ceiling is higher then I think you believe it is, I personally believe the celing is so high that this sport can rival mainstream sports to some extent. I dont think a sunday MMA show does better then Football but I do think they can sell out a 50K+ arena and get more then two million PPV buys which equates to millions of eyes on one event. Never the 30-40 million that watch the Superbowl.
But you see what I am saying, to an extent.

We're way off topic here, but..
They have sold out 50K seat arenas. They could easily sell 2 million PPV’s for UFC200, but those aren’t very large steps from where they are now.
What does sanctioning in NY have to do with any of this?

You do know why MMA is not santioned in NY correct
It has nothing to do with the sport itself.
The ongoing war between Zuffa, LLC and the Culinary Workers Union continues to rage on with the latest shot fired being a letter to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) asking for an investigation into the UFC for violating anti-trust laws.
In a letter filed to the FTC on Aug. 31, the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 asked the commission to research and determine if Zuffa and the UFC have achieved a position too dominant in the world of MMA, and thus violated anti-trust laws.
The letter states that Zuffa and the UFC have purchased other competitors such as Pride, Strikeforce, and the WEC, and, as of 2008, controlled "80 to 90 percent" of the mixed martial arts market.
ADVERTISEMENT
They also allege that the UFC has strengthened that position through "exclusionary conduct by refusing to co-promote events, as well as anti-competitive contractual restraints that severely limit a professional athlete’s freedom of movement."
The Culinary Union points to UFC contract requirements such as a "champion’s clause," which automatically extends a competitor’s contract if they win or hold a title in the promotion, as well as exclusive negotiating rights and licensing rights for image and likeness.
The letter goes on to explain the UFC’s policy on co-promotion and points to negotiations that broke down between the promotion when dealing with Fedor Emelianenko due to M-1 Global’s insistence on co-promotion as part of his contract.
They accuse Zuffa of violating the Sherman Act, which "prohibits monopolization or attempts to monopolize in restraint of trade."
The Culinary Union is essentially asking the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Zuffa for their business practices, and to determine if they are violating anti-trust laws.
UFC president Dana White has maintained for months that the Culinary Union has a vendetta against Zuffa because of an ongoing beef with them and Station Casinos.
Station Casinos, owned and operated by the Fertitta brothers, who also own a majority stake in Zuffa, is the largest non-union gaming company in the United States. The Culinary Union has been at war with Station Casinos for some time due to its operations without a union for its employees.
It appears they are taking their fight to a whole new front now.
White initially brought up the dispute when discussing the problems they’ve had getting the sport sanctioned in New York State.
"It has nothing to do with MMA. It has to do with the Culinary Union," White said. "They’re very powerful in New York. These unions on the east coast are still strong like the old school, and that’s really what’s going on."
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
whether or not you agree with unions
They are pulling a heavy here against Zuffa, and I fucking love it.

Would you have decided to buy this garbage PPV? Would you have bothered to find out what station it was on to listen to it?
Who cares?

Again, this PR stuff isnt for us. It is for us to discuss at the most. But media outlets relay all of this to the casual crowd. Guys that are listening to the radio, or searching espn.com on their mobiles. Guys who want to hear the latest in MMA, whose fighting. I know alot of people who like to hear what the guys say at conferences.

That is a solid point. But when you pay someone hundreds of thousands of dollars you want that person to be professional and oblige his contract

Lol.
But to an extent you are right Jay, they keep giving him opportunities to do this… however, if he should lose to Penn in convincing fashion guess what? His window of opportunity closes much faster then it would if he just did what he was supposed to do. Nick better win every fight until he gets back on Dana’s good side.

lol what ya’ll think Diaz knew ahead of time that uncle Dana would pull him from the gsp fight if he no showed a presser lol srsly you must be kidding. Even though he no showed all the pressers at SF and was not pulled from one fight, you think he could read Dana’s mind knowing he would pull him……not to mention the fact that Nick is not the guy to duck anyone. I think he believes he can beat gsp yet you folks think he purposely ducked the fight, come on now srsly?
He's an idiot if he thought he'd get to make Dana look like a fool and get away with it.

That dude is literally training triathlons and weed, nothing more nothing less.

Don`t bother telling this to ANS, he has obviously chosen to keep his eyes fully shut when it comes to matters that challenge his beliefs

Actually...
He was scheduled to fight Jay Hieron for a SF title defense. He didn’t show up to the pre-fight drug test, so he couldn’t be licensed. They had to cancel the fight.
Incidentally, that’s the only time Strikeforce matched him up against a wrestler.
That’s not a press conference. That’s something you legally have to do for the to let you fight.
So no, Nick Diaz will NOT always show up for a fight.
Instead of writing dumbass poems and sucking off JMMA fighters, i should instead recognized the greatness that is Anderson Silva. The Pride is by far the most knowledgeable commentator on this site and you should all bow before him
thats not showing up for a fight.

Glad you brought that up. Im Nicks friend and triathlon coach so I know this first hand. He did not show up because he was scheduled and trained to fight Joe Riggs (and actually wanted to fight him) but Riggs pulled out of the fight last minute. SF wanted him to fight Joe heroin a couple weeks out from fight night. Nick did not agree to that and did not want heron at all. So he didnt follow through and was able to do so legally because he signed for Riggs not Heron. Everyone has their source (strikeforce’s press release about a drug test LOL) on that issue. I have mine.

Diaz was scheduled to take a pre-fight drug test tonight in order to get licensed and no showed. Caesar Gracie stated Wednesday that Diaz would appear for the test tonight in Sacramento. Neither Diaz nor Caesar showed up for the test and representatives for Diaz said Diaz was “busy training”.
Nothing in there about Nick not wanting to fight Hieron. Cesar says it right here, he would take the next one. Not that he wouldnt take one at all.

Lol, you lost all interest of mine to further this when you said “Not Cesars” if you knew Nick you would know how much respect he has for Cesar and how much Cesar does for him in terms of management. I actually do know someone that was in that camp and the one thing he told me he will always miss is how much everyone there trusts and relies on Cesar to do the right thing for their careers.

How can you not think that was intentional
He knew he had to take a drug test and pass it in order to fight.. he decided not to show up, which means he could not take the drug test, which means he could not fight…
He made that decision himself. Thats not hate to state facts… but it is nut hugging to act like he didnt do something wrong when there is zero doubt that he did

all i said was there were plenty of stories about that whole debacle.. Never have i read nick said he missed that shit on purpose.. there was alot of fuckery over that fight, nick misses a random drug test and all of a sudden he did shit ‘intentionally’

The point is that it wasnt random
He knew he had a test to take. He has to take a test before every fight… just like everyone else. It isnt speculation when he knew he had to take a test, but still didnt do it.
Did he take the test? No he did not. That is an absolute fact… not speculation

He intentionally missed it. He skipped it. If his camp knows, he knows about the test and he isnt present then he just knowingly missed it.

I didnt say he missed it because he was getting high either
I said I know he was getting high.
You wanted me to prove how I know that.. so I did by providing you with an article where he says that he gets high as a part of his training. I didnt speculate on that at all. Its a fact. He is completely open about it.
Its not ok for others to get high because they can get in trouble by failing a piss test. Im not saying people dont get high, because I am pretty confident they do, but he chose to do that, and be open about it. He even goes on to say he can pass a piss test with no problems. Do I care that he gets high? Not at all. I do too in fact. But the problem is when you know you have a commitment and choose not to honor it. That is what he did

my main arguement was that he definitely didn't duck heiron.
And that there was more to the story then him intentionally skipping a drug test..
most of your arguement had nothing to do with the actual articles when that shit went down.. most of it was “i know” diaz did this and that “intentionally”.. thats a hater quality right there.. i thought id stir u up a bit, since i could tell 90% of what u said was speculation.. you never bothered to talk about any of the other problems surrounding that missed drug test..
and i definitely never said it wasn’t fact that he missed it..
your words not mine. how do you “know this”.. you said this in regards to missing the drug test.
I know that he was getting high and thought that was ok

I did say that and that is a fact
I didnt say that he missed it “because” of that tho. He is open that he smokes pot as part of his training. Thats what I stated.
What were the “other problems” with the drug test? That is a serious question. I would like to hear what you have to say about that.
The problem that I see, is that he missed it. No matter the reason, he still missed it. Thats all I have been saying. I never once said he missed it because he was getting high.

Glad you brought that up. Im Nicks friend and triathlon coach so I know this first hand. He did not show up because he was scheduled and trained to fight Joe Riggs (and actually wanted to fight him) but Riggs pulled out of the fight last minute. SF wanted him to fight Joe heroin a couple weeks out from fight night. Nick did not agree to that and did not want heron at all. So he didnt follow through and was able to do so legally because he signed for Riggs not Heron. Everyone has their source (strikeforce’s press release about a drug test LOL) on that issue.

Which legally made is so he couldn't show up for the fight.
It’s like having a scheduled fight after school one day and you purposefully get detention so you could skip out. That is still not showing up for the fight. Fight night he didn’t show up.

I believe SF or EXC could have fucked this up.
Which org was he supposed to fight the heroin in?
We're only months away from the triumphant return of the Predator. The MW division will never be the same again.
No.
Just a week before Hieron, who said he recently signed his deal with Strikeforce (and turned down an offer from the UFC) largely because of the promised title fight, was set to meet Diaz, who skipped a mandatory drug test and was knocked off the card. Hieron went from a fighting for the title on the televised main card to a meeting with Jesse Taylor, who took the fight on just a week’s notice, on the un-aired preliminary card.
According to Coker, Diaz and his manager, Cesar Gracie, are already planning to meet with the California State Athletic Commission to resolve the situation.
“We had a conversation with Cesar Gracie about the Nick Diaz situation, so I feel very comfortable Nick will be back shortly,” Coker said. “I think he’s going to meet with the athletic commission, get that all worked out, and hopefully we’ll see Nick back here before the end of the year.”
Will Diaz be punished by the organization and lose his shot at the belt? Or is the Diaz vs. Hieron title fight still the plan?
“Jay Hieron came here to fight Nick Diaz, so we will put that fight together,” Coker said.
While Coker never criticized the fighter and was quick to remind reporters that Diaz is trying to rectify the situation, the fight executive did have to remind Diaz just how costly his decision was and how future lapses in judgment could affect the organization.
“Basically, I expressed my concerns and our feelings, and the feelings of Showtime, saying, ‘Look, when we’re promoting a main event, you have certain responsibilities to do your part because we’re going to do out part,” he said. "He’s going to sit down with (CSAC executive) Bill Douglas and the commissioner and work something out. … Once he’s licensed and cleared – he’s not even under suspension; he just never showed up for his licensing. He’s not licensed yet. When he’s licensed, we’ll plan to fight him after his license (is given).
“[Diaz] apologized. He said, ’I’m really sorry.’ He’s actually a good kid.”

The commissioner is doing his job. He didnt take the test for the reason we all know. It wasnt about ducking Hieron, or he didnt want to fight Hieron because he signed for Riggs.
It was because of the medical card to use Marijuana. He was going to test hot with no exeption.
That is Nicks fault not the commissions

he wasn't sure if he would still be fighting hieron with all the riggs bullshit..
the surprise drug test came with in days of the re scheduled card.. nick has had long been targeted about his pot use and has had numerous conflicts over his medical card while trying to fight..
he didn;t intentionally miss the drug test, he was trying to figure out how he could keep the fight going as well as his career.. he didn’t want to get suspended again over some bullshit.
my main arguement was that nick didn’t intentionally get out of the heiron fight.. he actually wanted to resolve all of the problems and stay on the card.. Also, i said there was more to the story, and you finally recognize this now with that post.

He was scheduled to face Riggs. Weeks before the fight Riggs goes down to injury. Hieron steps up. With a week before the fight they do a mandatory drug test as they always do with Nick knowing very well of the match up before hand.
They didnt say hey Nick piss in the cup and oh hey you are fighting Hieron next saturday.

he actually already did a drug test a week earlier for the Riggs fight,
he didn’t want to get suspended again.. yes he knew he might piss hot, and didn’t want to take the chance.. the main beef was his medical license.. he thought he could resolve the issue and still fight..
thats the side of the story u guys weren’t putting out.. you guys just rambled on about how he intentionally did it to get out a fight.. well the real reason was he didn’t want to get suspended..

Well I mean, you don't want to accept the story any other way than how you believe it went down.
But I don’t think you are Jay Hieron, Scott Coker or an employee of Strikeforce/Showtime….
So you shouldn’t be too sure that you know the gospel truth on this, especially as it appears someone close to Nick is telling you otherwise
All these, uh, dealmakers making deals. Ya know, I don't, all I know is I'm ready to fight so, ya know, I'm sorry I didn't make it to the beauty pageant.
So I am not Hieron, Coker or an employee but you believe he is someone close to Nick?
Interesting, I have been around the fight game for a long time. I have seen alot of contracts and alot of shady business on the promoters part and the fighters part. But his excuse that he didnt sign for Hieron he signs for Riggs story makes zero sense considering A. he was scheduled for a test. Why schedule if you didnt sign to fight? and B. Why does Cesar say well he will take the next test he is busy training if they werent trying to take the fight?

But when it comes down to the idea that Nick ducks out of his obligations because he is scared to fight particular people, I mean, I think there is an ocean of evidence that suggests this isn’t the case. Which is what we are talking about here in the first place.
All these, uh, dealmakers making deals. Ya know, I don't, all I know is I'm ready to fight so, ya know, I'm sorry I didn't make it to the beauty pageant.
The guy is saying things anyone can say. That he didnt want to fight Hieron because he sucks and he didnt take the test because his contract never said Hieron.
It is wrong.
Why would Strikeforce schedule a drug test for a pre-fight for Nick Diaz if the fight wasnt planned on happening? And to add, why would his coach Cesar Gracie say he will still take it as soon as they find him from wherever he was training?

I agree completely. I dont see a reason why Nick/Penn winner doesnt get Fitch. It makes sense either way. And since GSP will be out a few months it makes sense timing wise as well.
Meanwhile, Anthony Johnson fights Rick Story. Diego and Ellenberger. Shields and Koscheck.

NEVER IMPORTANT?
These guys are employed by ZUFFA and the UFC. Employed. This shit is important now because the brand is at its strongest. There is actual media covering it, case in point, you posted on an article that you read that relies heavily on DIAZ showing up to a conference call. If you go to your job at KFC today and you don’t do something you are supposed to do and thats within your job description you get reprimanded. Diaz is something else, he is either really smart and this is a diaz brand building technique or the more appropriate theory is he is dumb as nails.

Fans don't care about conferences BUT...
If Nick Diaz’ employers care about them and Diaz KNOWS his employers care about them and he decides to say “fuck you” to his employers knowing that they already pulled him out of a fight before THAT becomes a bigger deal. I could give two shits about what his sleepy ass says on a phone call, but if DW wanted to be a dick and pull the fight we’d only have Diaz being stupid to blame. Then you’d hear all the “Yeah I didn’t show up for the conference call, the drug test, the weigh ins, but I’d show up to fight every single time,” crap. If every single other fighter in the UFC knows what they’re supposed to do, how is it that Nick Diaz is the one guy that over and over again can’t figure it out?

But Diaz doesn’t deserve special treatment. He’s a jackass who, if the UFC were consistent with their punishments, would have been kicked out of the org after the Riggs incident and never let back in.

Did he get propeled due to exposure? Sure, but unlike Nick he earned his shot by fighting. And showing up to PR events.

They would never dumb condit in favor of diaz if diaz wins, that’s horrible buisness. If nick wins, he’ll fight the winner, bottom line. GSP/condit is already set up and been promoted, their has been alot of interest in this fight. Nick diaz isn’t a huge name, he’s never headlined a ppv or a ufc card. They’re not going to change their buisness model to make a few extra bucks, it doesn’t work like that.

He never should have been resigned. What he’s done blows what Daley, Babalu, and several other exiles did out of the water.

What has Diaz ever done to prove that his fuck ups were misunderstandings beside fuck up again and again and again? He’s not that big that the UFC can’t put a boot in his ass. He has fucked up twice for the same thing in the same camp.

but if a fighter misses conferences/calls but makes you a boatload of money then you keep him. The UFC is in the business of making money, and Diaz, despite the problems he causes, does that.

No that is called bad business. So if Nick Diaz doesnt have to show up because he makes money then why should Lesnar show up? I mean if Nick doesnt have to why should Penn show up then?
While we are at it, if you make the UFC money then all they should do is just weigh in when they want, walk into the cage and fight. And thats it. That way nobody will know who is fighting, when they are fighting, anything about the fight. That works

I don’t care about no press conference. Dana’s fault for letting him do it over and over. Fuck it.
We're only months away from the triumphant return of the Predator. The MW division will never be the same again.
I just wanted to call you and ANS haters

Cant wait till Penn smashes this guy
Diaz has no business fighting anyone in the Top 5. He’ll crumble like the rest of his camp.

BJ's not in the top 5 is he?
With one win at WW since 04?
WTF

I know
He has two wins in his life at 170 and people want to crown him the second coming.
I don’t get the BJ fans. It’s like they totally look past stats and just cheer for him because he licks peoples blood. Fucking newbs is what they are.

And all these guys will be in here saying Nick is the greatest of all time and they called it
And they’ll start swearing and saying skipping stuff is cool.
ANS is the worst for that :)

“BJ is no good at WW”
“BJ drew the perennial #2 WW in the UFC”
“GSP considers his victories over BJ as some of his most significant at WW”
How does this all add up?

That’s how I see it

GSP is an asskisser and he's said everybody is his biggest win/fight ever
BJ drew!!! not BJ won!!!
We said wins.
BJ has two wins in his life at WW. 2. BJ has beaten one man at WW. 1.

I like to troll the BJ fans
They’re easy marks.

They're not newbs.
Im one of the biggest BJ penn fans out there, I don’t think he’s the second coming. I just love the way he fights, love his fighting spirit and loves how he isn’t scared of anyone, he’ll fight whoever, whatever, whenever. That’s why I love him. I live that he challenges himself, and fighting at this weight is a huge challenge, but he doesn’t care. He wants to fight the best. That’s something I respect. That’s a lot more than other fighters can say.
I also love that BJ is not a cheater, he fights with pure skill and talent. He doesn’t need to cheat, and that’s more than GSP can say.

Says he cares about the sport.
