Nick Diaz and Paul Daley confront each other in a hotel restaraunt after the fight

On the occasion when two fighters have incredible respect for each other, they meet after their nationally televised altercation just to give each other praise on being a formidable and highly adept opponent. No water bottles will fly towards your general direction if both competitors attain an unspoken level of admiration that can only be recognized after the audience has left the arena and the cameras are stored in whatever bags they originated from. Fortunately for us, we don't have a camera bag. Check out this video captured by MiddleEasy's LayzieTheSavage of Nick Diaz confronting Paul Daley at a hotel restaurant shortly after their Strikeforce title bout this past weekend in San Diego.

they don't confront each other they comfort each other.

Respect shown between warriors.

[@titoortiz]

Nick is truly a good guy. You gotta understand, when you grow up in a hardcore neighborhood with nothing, the only thing you got is Respect. They do not like being disrespected by anyone.

[@chris23477]

i dont know why everyone thinks diaz is a bad guy

[@naomizimik6202]

Seriously man...

[@Inkosi_uJabu_Ndlovu]

@am to the pm to the am I think people think that cuz he insults everybody he fights until afterwards. After the fights he's always really respectful and polite. People just don't pay attention to what happens between fighters after fights they only care about what happens before and during, so they wouldn't know that this guy has class

[@uncabro]

you kidding? go ask Joe Riggs, Mayhem Miller, Gomi, etc

[@breadispain]

I think nate has more of a bad guy attitude than nick

[@Noname-wr4bp]

Lol he jumped a fighter in a hospital who beat him with Nate. Right though he’s a saint

[@SparksDrinker]

interesting video, but terrible description by the uploader.

[@roningaming716]

Clickbait

[@vega21]

One of those cases where real recognize real

Daley impressed me here with his humble attitude

he saw what nick is capable of

Con·front [kuhn-fruhnt] verb (used with object) 1. to face in hostility or defiance; oppose: The feuding factions confronted one another. I did not see that in this video.

Yup! No blood and guts.

Cunt [kuhnt] adjective (used to describe Cherry Pauper)

[@CherryPauper]

Turd Cutter It's not a verb, dumbass. It's a noun. Before trying to start up fights on the Internet to make yourself look tough/smart, make sure you're covering all grounds.

[@IIty2iII]

Can I instigate?

[@HuxleyTheProf]

Cherry Pauper its not a verb? Right. He didn't say it was, he said adjective, idiota.

[@mylescecchetellistrengthco89]

how does this video have 500+ dislikes.. these are two warriors after a straight up brawl you should have nothing but respect

[@craigsejda7157]

Because of the title

[@unkownboi67is_unavailable62]

Everyone is a fan of Nick and everyone respects Daley, everyone hates the title though they make it seem like the 2 clashed at that restaurant,whiel in the video there was nothing but respect.

[@howey935]

Nick is always respectful after his fights remember when he said to Frank Shamrock “get up you’re a fucking legend” or when he told Anderson silva not to cry because he was a legend.

[@logwind]

Misleading title is misleading.

[@Bas2thesem]

Respect and sportmanship.

[@DiceyJJ]

Diaz "Ya'll go eat some steaks, I'm gonna have Tofu and wheatgrass"

[@12321johndoe]

is he vegetarian??

[@coltpowell6099]

12321johndoe Diaz is raw vegan

[@keithsa41]

Colt Powell and for desert Nick will smoke a gigantic black gungi roll..

[@jalechrist8389]

[@fuckamerica109]

Colt Powell Is he really?

[@deerharvester7355]

Respect earned, respect given

[@5616steph]

Diaz vs Daley 2 would be fuckin dope

[@JobeMinacum]

Nah.. Diaz would just wreck him again.

[@5616steph]

JobeMinacum i no that let's just see them in the cage again that shit had to be fight of the year and it only last 1 round

[@JobeMinacum]

5616steph Diaz is in the Pro's, Daley is in the Triple A's. Daley has no ground game. Diaz could EASILY take him down and get a submission. He could have done it in the first fight, when Daley was a blue belt and Diaz was a black belt. It would have been laughable to see Diaz dominate him on the ground like that. But Diaz doesn't like to put on boring fights to the mainstream media/viewers. Daley won't ever be signed to the UFC again (Dana has said so).

[@crimen]

this video is pure gold dude..nice to see there cool with each other

[@Unkn0wnGuy]

A nice display of class. That's true sportsmanship right there.

[@SalamVeteramexHappyDagger]

Talk about real respect.

[@parr40]

Diaz brother are all about respect, look it’s a two way street, if you respect them they won’t say a bad thing about you. They some of realest fighters on the UFC circuit Fr

[@tonib4095]

Nick Diaz has a lot of class

[@fengxiong520]

Back in the day this was how you squashed beef

[@teyzar]

I'm glad they patched things up, both of them put on an amazing back and forth fight. That fight was incredible!!

[@davereynolds7472]

Nick and Paul re-live their Moment. Great to see - everyone loves/respects Nick.

[@MetalTampon]

The uploader needs to learn the meaning of the word "confront."

[@kiezasosa3173]

The game should always be about respect

[@mondaywar]

this does speak alot about mma, the worst sportsman "nick diaz" still shows sportsmanship

[@jenlans]

It was a great fight. Diaz is the best at 170 now that GSP is gone.

[@gagedunstan]

Did your computer autocorrect Johny Hendricks to Diaz?

[@wymanmore3982]

Hendricks is by far on the top of that class at the moment, with Condit right behind of him. And, and both are getting better by the day. What is Diaz doing to better himself at the moment?

[@TheGr8one1022]

Hendricks would absolutely flatten Diaz. I'd put Diaz somewhere between 8-10 in the rankings; he doesn't suck, he's an excellent fighter but he's not at the top and probably never will be.

[@wymanmore3982]

***** Really? What's he currently ranked at? Who, and when, is his next fight? What happened his last fight? You obviously just have fan boy "wood" for anything out of "cali"; Facts tend to trump that bullshit, though.

[@AndyinMTL]

Sorry but no....Hendricks Lawler Askren are better fighters than nick and i think we could add Brown in the group too!!!

[@barrydaryle7817]

Wasn't a confrontation, it was a mutual respect for another, class.

[@gldsmith61]

The kid that keeps hugging Nick looks like the same kid on Joe Rogans vid about the kid who looks at him when he is trying to dry off after a shower. Go check it out.

[@yyz4761]

+Happy Camper That vid is so WTF, funny as hell though. I forgot all about it so I'm going to go watch it again.

[@DannyOBrien203]

Came back here after what...nearly 10 fuckin years, always proud of Paul Daley whatever anybody says, and have been the biggest Diaz fan since I got into MMA, still am, and this is just a cool as fuck clip of two of the “outcasted”, yet, greatest warriors our sport will never see again, fuckin geezers

[@gabrielsoto7719]

They had an incredible battle much love to Paul Daley and nick Diaz two warriors

[@MARQ23]

I wouldn't say they 'confronted' each other, but much love for uploading this video!

[@JuanGuerra-tl9wx]

Why did you put , confront each other, . There was no confrontation. Nothing but respect between them.

[@kaducamilo2012]

Diaz is a bomb, he seems like he can punch your face anytime LOL

[@sam91004]

Says confrontation. Meaning, they confront each other. Meaning they meet each other.

[@DexterHaven]

Damn, the camera stopped too soon. Right after this, they fought again in the parking lot outside... ;)

[@appleknockerradio9512]

Man that fight was awesome. Only time I ever saw someone faceplant from a shot and bounce right back up and win like it was nothing.

[@neclg2004]

The stoppage I think was ok. There is a replay video in youtube called "Nick Diaz vs. Paul Daley - Early stoppage? " It kind of proves the stoppage was good.

[@jdee1165]

whos the sausage that keeps touching nick and bowing 😂

[@tobaliciousholland12]

Dominik Cruz, Frankie Edgar, Benson Henderson, Chael Sonnen, Ben Askren, etc. etc.... the list of fighters who use position and wrestling to control and dominate their opponents but rarely finish could go on forever. Of the people I mentioned, two are current UFC champions. You may not think controlling someone is exciting, but to hate on GSP like he's an anomaly is just plain ignorant. He's just part of a trend. He gets hate because he's so successful and smothering. What he does is not easy.

[@ichimaxru]

The beauty of the sport, that's why MMA is better than the others..

[@AydenLeongTV]

Respect already? wow. thats good sportsmanship 4 the both of them.

[@cyvidal10]

New meaning of Confront Conversation upFront

[@Amelia-kl7gu]

He acted pretty respectful for a guy who doesn't pay taxes

[@vinniecousinofvito6401]

Clickbait as usual anymore

[@DmDaPDm]

That guy on the left, the asian dude, he just made that whole meeting really awkward

[@a5ethi]

I may not agree with most of his ideology but Nick Diaz truly is one of the best martial artist in the world.

[@bigrickng8]

There fight was a 1st round banger

[@stylezNout]

respect them both that much more

[@Yo0264]

this is why mma is asome

[@frigginjoe]

Daley was on Nick's side of the restaurant and no fight broke out :O

[@Hussleman1]

U thought he wanted round 2 after that beating naaa 😂🤣

[@WesleyDeGrooteAalst]

Only a few weeks before we see him in the octagon again 💪

[@mistahac]

on the feet diaz will pepper him with shots, gsp will take him down and will have to expend all his energy defending subs. if it goes to the 5th then diaz still won't be tired. hard to say who wins but diaz will give gsp the fight of his life

[@DrunkenPoetic]

Nah, I wrote that just after he didn't turn up to the GSP press conference.

[@ocelotrevs]

Why do Middle Easy videos all seem to have misleading/ incorrect titles.

[@theprofessional1414]

big fan of both dudes. paul said before all the drama at the weigh in that he liked nick, it's called hype, that's how fights are sold.

[@GENREPOZA]

Respect

[@lairdriver]

Speaking of Jab - it is a very effective weapon. Josh Koshcheck almost lost his right eye because of GSP's Jab, Jake Shields face looked like it had been shot with pellets after the GSP fight. Check the photos out for yourself. Instead of faulting GSP for what he did do - he come you don't fault Diaz for what he didn't do. His much vaulted striking made no difference, he couldn't stop GSP's takedowns and he was outclassed and had no way of getting off the mat. That is being dominated.

[@fuckabledude]

it comes from the controversial Condit decision loss where Nick's fans think he won round 1,2 and 5

[@omarcorrea]

That wasn't much of a confrontation, more like Diaz bumps into Daley at restaurant. One more cent in the Adsense piggy bank

[@fsunoles904]

it has to be top 3 for sure, i watched that shit live and it was completely insane. that stann silva fight recently was another bad ass fight, one of the best in a while.

[@spankyblack6119]

Back when even Fighters had class and were respectful. Today we're in McGregor times and everything is senseless disrespect.

[@leonisgonnasmokesnoozmanju729]

McGregor is humble in defeat like it or not even the great Chris Eubank sr speaks on how McGregor has a champions mentality when losing fights.

[@ShawShank-kr9wq]

@@leonisgonnasmokesnoozmanju729 "your wife is in me DMs" yeah real humble, I used to be a huge Connor fan too man but let it go the dude lost his mind got high off his own supply.

@@ShawShank-kr9wq He’s not a drug dealer kid, that is the one time he’s ever been disrespectful afterwards and that is because he lost by freak accident and Dustin was walking around like he had just kod Conor, he was promoting a 4th fight clearly u don’t understand that. The man is humble in defeat accept it

[@ShawShank-kr9wq]

@@leonisgonnasmokesnoozmanju729 By getting High on his own supply I was referring to his persona, and also his own alcohol “kid” humble people don’t go around punching old men in the face for refusing a drink. The guy turned into an egomaniac after the mauling Khabib gave him.

[@nobody617]

Little know or covered fact that all ufc fighters maje love to their opponent that night.

[@drakeskipper]

This shows that Paul Daley has come a long way from the koscheck incident, and should be let back in the ufc

[@doRseries1]

that street mentality of "ill make you his bitch because you beat him in a fight" is stupid, fighters FIGHT and if they lose they say great fight you were the better man tonight.

[@smith45acp]

Confront: Meet (someone) face to face with hostile or argumentative intent Title needs work...

[@juliosantillan1468]

That fight was dope.

[@demiusza]

Confrontation implies an offensive stance - these guys just met up to congratulate each other. The OP is trolling for views, plain and simple.

[@Skorzeny64]

No doubt, which u rather watch - that round or one of GSP's rounds??? Hate to say it and it's sad to see a great fighter like GSP and the way he's going about his work(fights) in the last few years..Shit time was it used to be exciting watching a GSP fight..Diaz fights are never boring, he puts himself on the line everytime, he doesn't have to do that - he could play it safe like some in the UFC...

[@3Initials]

LOL...you speak for more than 247,000 of us

[@nwrpw1]

come on hiow many times have we seen diaz get dropped and recover quicky he was moving on the ground trying to defend himself and clearly did so as daley could not finsh him, whereas daley was getting hit repeatedly on the ground and had the ref not stepped in diaz was landing HARD shots on him, daley wuda been out cold and nearly was.

[@nickm8874]

Clickbait title. Nice moment

[@CommanderVenus1983]

Poor use of the word "confront" in the title.

[@Tgghput]

How the fuck was this 8 years ago

[@DrunkenPoetic]

Still don't get why he didn't just do that fucking press conference.

[@simomonster]

One of the best nights! Nick was dropped twice! But his perseverance and stinging shots

[@WardogBoxingFan]

GSP even said he's never faced anyone like Nick. He said that himself and he hasn't at all. I see Nick giving GSP a tough fight and possibly could win.

[@63Bueno]

no he was out, not gassed lol...the replat clearly shows him layin there defenseless eating punches. Nick was defending himself the whole time even being dropped 2x...he never stopped trying to defend himself, that is always the difference..

[@industriales31]

I'm tired of these annoying ads before the videos!!!!!

[@rapidtransit8373]

Class act. This is how it should be.

[@TheSmartMover]

now that's respect

[@Jinxyjones]

not the confrontation i expected

[@bigrickng8]

That's respect right there 👏🙌👌

[@sluggz956]

I bet Nick had a hard time understanding them all lol bet he was blown out of his mind.

[@lolabella3555]

Agree completely!! On some level I think Rhonda Rousey is going through the same thing. I think a lot of people don't understand that oftentimes there is a mental match being played prior to entering the octagon. Samurai books often talk about that.

[@YSKite]

Diaz stayed cause they had tacos, and Daley left cause they ran out of fried chicken and koolaid? makes sense.

[@Wh1teB0ii369]

@HaZeSnip3r The only reason Nick acts like that now, is because he got kicked out of the UFC for getting in a fight with a guy he fought in the hospital after the fight.

[@7orqu3]

best thing about mma right there

I was not expecting that......

I was gonna watch anyway cuz Nick Diaz, u didn't have to click bait the fuck out if that title

shows he is a good sport. DONT RETIRE NICK, YOU ARE MY HERO!!!

Sure he does.....His boxing is better than anyone George has faced, he has a higher work rate than anyone George has faced, and his cardio is actually superior to George's, which is pretty impressive....This is going to be a good fight

[@foolio550]

@sandmanx187 Obviously is does, seeing as how Daley almost getting put to sleep was enough for Big John to stop the fight.

[@TheJugly]

yeah man that was real shit respect when its deserved and they both deserve it.
