UFC president Dana White made the dramatic move Wednesday to yank Diaz from a welterweight championship bout against Georges St. Pierre that would have topped the card at UFC 137 on Oct. 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas about 10 minutes before a bizarre news conference began in the deserted arena.

I don't think a Diaz/St. Pierre card would have been all that interesting to watch. Diaz has always struck me as downright strange. He sparred with us at Renzo's academy a couple of times and he had that deranged look to him and attitude that gave everyone a bad feeling. He came off as the type of guy that would cheat in a fight.

Diaz's manager believes he may have social anxiety disorder. Oh well, it is now going to be Carlos Condit.

He was just fucking creepy.

Team Stockton as a whole are not to be fucked with. That's just a case of real recognizing real. Numbers def played a part in this. Nick isn't afraid of anyone. He can be implosive at times, but he is not "pussing out" of anything.
-
Why was he yanked?

I dont think that a person who wants to make it his career fighting other men cna be expected to be normal.
-
i don't think its a real loss to the ufc. diaz is just to cocky. i always root for his opponent.
-
well obviously we dont know what his reason for missing BOTH press conferences was, yet. But he just blew his chance at his biggest fight. He'll be lucky to keep his job with the UFC.

Dude's a stoner. Probably was too busy staring at his lava lamp. He wouldn't have won a round anyway.
Condit is lethal and deserved a shot a long time ago but only held back because GSP is a training partner.
-
There's gotta be more to the story.
Diaz is a motherfucking beast. He's not scared of st.pierre.
He had to have a damn good reason

He had to have suffered some sort pf panic attack or something. No one is this stupid not even nick. We all know nick is "special" when It comes to fighting and never relaxed like when he does triathlons etc.
I guess 2+ million dollar wasn't enough for him to show up. When hes nagged for years about not making enough money, and that he can beat gsp. And when he finally gets the chance do to both. He doesn't show up which he ofc promised to Dana. And not only that but releases a cocky video afterwards. And Its not Only about the press conferense either. It's doing your JOB and keeping what you have promised.
Hes done. And It's a damn shame. But after that video ...he can only blame himself.
And as Dana said. He didn't even have to say anything at the press conferense just show up..
-

he had a chance to stay if he called up Dana and just explained and apologized Might have had a mental breakdown due to the preassure of the press and not the fight, because fighting he knows how to do. But be around a lot of people he doesn't. No one could reach him. No one knew where he was.
BUT apparently he had time making a video like that but not calling his Boss.
Nick got fired from ufc about 5 years back also for fucking up. And when Dana finally gives him One more chance after Nick promised to "play the game" and do the press. He fucks up a TITLE fight.
Dana even left him messages on the fucking phone. all he had to do was return them. But I guess not even 2+ million could make him do that. What a fucking retard. HE cant risk nick not showing up for the damn fight so.
I like Nick but there is No defending this shit not now. Hes done.
a Lot of his fans will be disappointed now. Nick has always been nick and that's what good about him. But not like this.
Since BJ was supposed to fight Condit, BJ is now out of an opponent. I guess It's a longshot but Nick vs bj would be pretty fucking awesome. Doubt Dana would grant nick something like that though
-
Don't want to go all conspiracy theory on this, but maybe the fight was setup knowing full well Diaz was a flake and would miss the press junkets. The original intention was to put Condit in there despite the fact that he's refused in the past. This is just a way to cause a division in the Jackson camp which has defied Dana in the past by standing by their fighters when they refuse to fight each other.
-
Don't want to go all conspiracy theory on this, but maybe the fight was setup knowing full well Diaz was a flake and would miss the press junkets. ther.
So dana first fires nick a few years ago. says he wont let him back. Fans nag on him for Years to bring Diaz back. Dana says Nick needs to learn how to play "the game" before be is allowed to return. Not asking much just do press conferences and dont get into fights.
Years pass, fans keeps busting danas balls. Dana a FINALLY considers it again since nicks last few fights have been impressive. And Nick talks shit about being ablwe to beat gsp etc etc. Goes to stockton to talk to nick. Nick claims hes now mature and will "play the game" like his brother does. They announce the signing of nick (2 million a fight + ppv buys) + a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUGE fight against GSP because of the FANS wanting it. Not Dana wanting it. The FANS.
Nick fucks up the first press conferense in monteral which pisses dana of because nick lied. Talks to him, gives him another chance as long as he shows up on the press conference in america. Then he sneaks out of his coaches house, dissapers. Shut of his cellphone no one can get a hold of him.
Then the Tickets go on sale. And then the night comes and no nick shows up. So Dana has spent 10.000$ on plane ticklets for nick which he didn't show up for. And nwo they have sold tickets for a fight that isn't going to happen. Every promoters dream right?
...Only because they wanted him to fight condit all along?!?!?
Not trying to insult you but man, you're Retarded if you think this was anything close to "planned"
This fight was because the FANS wanted it.
Now they have to give the money back for all the tickets that was sold yesterday if people want it back.
I dont want to call you retarded but I have to if you honestly think it was planned.
-
Not trying to insult you but man, you're Retarded if you think this was anything close to "planned"
Yeah its complete bollocks ;D
-
Yeah its complete bollocks ;D
The fact that he could have saved 2 million by just CALLING dana and not IGNORING everyone just boggles my mind. He doesnt to that BUT he has time to make this video titled "Looks like someone don't want me to win ! " REALLY?!?!?!
A good chance to appaoligize to everyone. explain what happened just say you had a mental breakdown because of the preassure of the press conferense or something.
Oh wait, he doesn't do that either.

Yeah he's just a dumb redneck. All he needed to do was turn up to pocket a few grand.

stockton not redneck..
and if you by a few grand mean probably 3 million dollars then yeah
Cut his paycheck in half and have him face bj.
-
typical Mexican behavior. in the video he was probably driving to the US so he could jump the border illegally.

3 mill? Is this with endorsements? Be surprised if that's the entire value of his contract. Definitely not his fight purse. Fuck him. He's can't act like a pro let him earn like an amateur.

Its his fight purse. Look up the deal he signed. 2 million per fight fight and 2-4$ per ppv sold or something like that. and then sponsorship and endorsement on that.
So he threw away a lot of money.
edit*
"MMA Junkie Radio: 'Nick Diaz Making 1$-Million Plus 2$ Per PPV Purchase'." lets say 700k buys the ppv thats 1.4 million extra so 2.4 million + endorsements.

And keep in mind the people he brought in to prepare him (sparrings partners etc). Talk about disrespecting them. And all the people GSP brought in and went to train with and paid $$$ to do so..
-
As Nick Diaz usually says..
"Or WHATEVER!"
-
So the question is who replaces Condit and takes on BJ? Fitch is out apparently.
This does all open up the way to BJ vs GSP 3.
-
Diaz snuck out the back door of his manager's house as his manager was getting ready to drive Diaz to the airport??

"Nick has never had a real job, he doesn’t know what it’s like, like a lot of Americans have to do, get up work two jobs like a lot of us to put food on the table and here he’s given this opportunity, where he beats this guy it’s like winning the lottery and he doesn’t get on a plane to Vegas or Canada or whatever. You can’t do that. There’s no way you can do that." - Cesar Gracie

3 million dollars
::)
-
I don't understand why he did this. He said he has an anxiety disorder. I have one and it's very hard for me to be the center of attention in front of a lot of people. I hate giving presentations. In college I would drink a 40 before class If I new I had to present. It would be enough to calm my nerves down. I would have a severe panic attack being on TV giving a press conference. Thing is he has been through all of it. Maybe the pressure from such a big show got to him. It's to bad he wasted this opportunity. Fear can make people to crazy things!

Figured Cesar would have come up with some excuse for Nick.
Shame..would have been an interesting fight.

the guy is just a dumbass. watch any of his interviews.

No it wouldn't , easy fight for GSP
-

I doubt it would be an easy fight for gsp although he'd be a favorite to win. Nick has some good bjj to back up his boxing. It's a moot point now. Gsp struggled with Hardy. That should have been an easy fight.
-
No way diaz is making 2 mil a fight + pay per view buys. Guys like Silva and lesnar don't even make that much per fight. Everyone would go on an immediate strike if they knew Nick was making 2 million per fight!

Exactly , the entire payroll for a UFC card is not even 1 mill ,GSP makes $400000 a fight ,Anderson Silva made $ 200000 in his last fight .........etc (without PPV).

Brock made a reportedly 4 million for his last fight

you understand both of them get ppv shares right? and the 400k doesn't include bonuses, nor sponsorship money. silva gets like 4$ a ppv. so he makes millions per fight also.
Dont stare youself blind from the "salarys" I thought you were smarter then that.
Guess why Machida saked for "A.silva money" even though they both make "200k" ::)
and nick was going to make 2 million probably another reason why gracie is pissed lol.
-
those sallaries wouldnt suprise me. mma is pretty huge nowdays. or has been for the last few years and growing all the time.
-
he pussed out because he is a pussy. id beat the shit out of that kid. one punch and game would be over. this guy is pure shit! cocky piece of shit. street fight I would knock him the fuck out under 8 seconds. in the octagon give me 20-30nseconds and he would be yeling uncle uncle!!!skinny thug wannabee

Show me where do you get these numbers from?
-
I love how the guy has some kind of breakdown an doesn't show up for a news conference and now he's some weak ass pussy, he'd kick eeveryone's ass here in 10 seconds, he'd look at you and his ass would be kicked, he's got so much aggression he can't even sit still at a news conference, the kid is no pussy

who running this Dana White the guy whos been having meetings with Vince McMahon? No shit ???

Professional wrestling storyline ::)
Makes no sense. He loses the GSP fight 'cause Dana's afraid he might not show. What makes him think he'll show for Penn?
-
I think I have him scheduled to clean my gutters that day....
-
He got kicked off the card for breaking his contract because of not doing his scheduled interviews and press conferences. He's fighting Penn now.......makes ZERO sense.
-
He got punished by having his title shot taken away, simple really
-
Penn-Diaz is a good match up. They can both box bit ...they both have BJJ black belts from a Gracie. I like Penn by sub...
-
Punches like a girl.
-
Diaz is a loose cannon - a liability to the UFC, sure the dude can fight, but his attitude sucks - anyone remember this
QUOTE - Diaz's next fight was against Joe Riggs at UFC 57. Similar to his treatment of Sanchez, Diaz made sure that he taunted his opponent plenty before their fight starting at the official press conference at the event in which Diaz confronted Riggs and the two exchanged words. They continued their conversation at the official weigh-ins in which both fighters had to be separated by UFC president Dana White and other officials present.
Riggs prevailed in a hard-fought battle, winning by unanimous decision and giving Diaz his second straight loss. After the fight, the two were taken to the hospital for observation and post-fight tests. It was there that Diaz confronted Riggs and proceeded to punch him in the face, knocking Riggs to his knees. Riggs then tackled Diaz into a wall and started to knee him when the police arrived and quickly rushed in to separate the two. Neither party, nor the police, decided to press charges.

that punch wadnt hard, I took off skin off a guy in college going punch for punch
-

If that was as hard as he could then yes lol.
His punches has always looked random as fuck and not especially hard, but eventually they make pretty much everyone break down.
I would gave liked to see him in an actual boxing fight which was supposed to happen, because I dont think that style could fly when its Only about boxing.
apparently when he was a little kid older kids would hit him to try and see if they could make him cry. Never cried. might have been what fucked him up mentally because that doesnt sound good lol.

If Noon didn't have to watch for the take downs , he would have ko him in the 1st round , Diaz is tough kid no doubt but his boxing skills aren't that good , no punching power , no foot work , no head movement , predictable ....etc..
