[@poetsrear]

@@cheekygoober Not true. Or maybe as a unique subjective case, but in general nah. I think regarding pain weed only changes ones perception and attitude towards it. Doesn't numb, doesn't amplify. Doesn't physiologically alter the sensation at all in my opinion. Only changes the internal 'acceptance' to it, making a stoned human take the pain less personally and concentrate more on the part of themselves that is fine. You can see this in stoners in how chill they are. They aren't bothered so easily by shit. The same effect applies here.

He was the first fighter that chose to not embrace the fame and stick to his true self even if it meant making him out to be the “bad guy” back then. It’s not that he never gave a fuck and was careless or ignorant, he just refused to be one of those fighters to change there whole persona and put on a fake act for fans once they got a little bit of fame.

Tf weed doesn't slow my reflexes #Chi-onpoint #ALWAYSready💯👊 if anything I feel the complete opposite. It ENHANCES YOUR REFLEXES. For me it does but everybody's body chemistry is different

[@Awt981]

Everybody knows weed relaxes you and makes you not as tense. So that's why he probably has never been knocked out, because his brain wouldn't tense up as much as it should

[@eldenlean5221]

@@Awt981 that's not how KO's work lol you might argue that thc can numb you, thus helping you take punch. But when it comes to KO's it don't matter how tense or relaxed your brain is. Either your brain bounces against your skull hard enough to fuck up the ectrolyte balance in your brain, which requires your body to use all the energy available to regain that balance(which results in your body shutting down) or you get hit in the chin hard enough your body has to go limp to avoid your jaw crushing your trachea. Although on second thought in the latter maybe weed does help🤔

[@grungical]

Weed doesn't slow reflexes at least in people who use it regularly

[@javiernegron2633]

Damn no one knows how weed works huh. It doesn’t necessarily slow down your reflexes per se. I have really crazy ninja reflex moments when I’m high and also really stupid slow moments. It just depends on the day and the weed mostly. It also doesn’t numb you like opioids do, it definitely makes pain easier to deal with but it doesn’t make you numb by any means. Weed lowers blood pressure and expands your blood vessels as well, which means that blood flows better through your body and therefore you can exercise for longer. I’ve had high training sessions that make me look at it like EPO minus turning your blood into yogurt. Not only that, it allows you to flow a lot better, which is why a lot of high level (no pun intended) BJJ guys smoke weed. You just see openings that you wouldn’t see if you were sober. So it definitely is a performance enhancer in several ways, just not in the same way as steroids

[@JuggoJuggo]

Nick Diaz is the epitome of "everybody has got a plan until they get hit in the face."

[@DOC_951]

I’m a doctor, and I can say that THC in Nick’s system definitely would not have provided any advantage in a fight.

I'm a weed smoker & an athlete and I can say that THC in anyone's system will not only not provide any athletic advantage, its detrimental to your performance if you're high & lowers your testosterone levels in the long run.

I'm not a doctor or an athlete, but I've smoked enough weed over the years that if weed was a performance enhancer I'd be the head of Google, Microsoft and the president of at least 4 countries.

[@InsShogunGage]

[@InsShogunGage]

But I don't understand why still to this day even professional MMA analysts and media personnel always say the Diaz brothers love to fight! No, they really don't and if you did any research at all you would know they really don't like it. A lot of videos I saw when Nick Diaz was partying and stuff (which really worried me it seemed like drinking and parting got the better of him so I'm happy he's back training and in shape) in his video he was talking on his live stream to someone like do you want to pay me to get kicked in the head for your entertainment? Also he doesn't enjoy hurting people like they are some straight up g's and if you cross the line or disrespect they will scrap but they've both stated that they don't like to do that and I think that's the biggest misconception is people think that the Diaz brothers are like thugs and that is farthest from the truth they just keep it real. Which unfortunately very very very few fighters do, especially since Connor came along

[@Marfmellow88]

I know right, Nick has said that he does NOT like to fight iver a hundred times. He fights because he is good at it, he loves martial arts and working out and it pays the bills. If he had a more stable home life growing up he likely would not have fought at all.

[@drippy4622]

@Tyler Riggs they get breaks in between rounds so not same thing

[@gesmith98]

@Tyler Riggs It's a completely different kind of fight. He never lost due to lack of cardio. He lost when he took a ton of damage, nothing to do with running out of gas. In a 5 round fight it's 25 minutes with a minute break between rounds. That's 5 minutes to catch your breath throughout, take that away and it becomes a whole different beast. Royce Gracie would have lost a ton of fights if it was in the round system, but with no scoring and all the time he needed, he caught people. Diaz would be a complete nightmare in no time limit fights.

The Diaz brothers will always be some of my favorite fighters as well as maybe the best pound for pound depending on what era or how you see it.

Weed being the reason for a fighter to get into all that trouble is a joke is comparison to all the drugs fighters get caught using and honestly the people who chose to screw him over this should be replaced. A substance that helps relax you and is mostly legal these days (and was back then as well) is a poor excuse to see one of the best fighters ever to lose the thing they loved the most in life.
