Strikeforce: Nick Diaz Thinks He Will Get Suspended After Paul Daley Win

[@mat52298]

you can see his tone change when he isn’t talking about fighting. He gets all happy lol

[@darkmagician1710]

He's said in the past that he isn't excited about fighting but it's the only thing that he knows how to do.

[@RobWitchdoctor]

I think he thought he'd get suspended for all the swearing and cursing through the fight

[@DirtBoyzProductions]

It is like miserable for him... Anytime in any other interviews when someone brings up triathlons, he lightens up and it is the only times you ever see him happy.

[@JJVideoProductions2]

whether people want to accept it or not, Nick Diaz is one of the best MMA fighters ever.

[@liridonilazi5360]

Haha

[@nikolaspasojevic3277]

Gotta love Nick!!! He is a fucking legend. Always angry and unsatisfated with everything, no matter if he wins or loses. A true warrior and just wanna give a side not for my motherfucking brother Nick Diaz. He really seems to dislike fighting for real. As Cesar Gracie would say: "He fights to survive, not because he likes it." It makes sense when you see him here talking all angry about fighting, but we get to notice his real passion - TRIATHLON! He really loves that high endurance shit, that's why he's got that 'never give up' mentality. You can see that he is all happy and smiles when he talks about Triathlon. He should stick to that, but give us, his hardcore fans a couple more wars in the Octagon to cement his legacy forever!

[@buildinit6523]

YOU SEE HIS WHOLE ATTITUDE CHANGE WHEN TALKING ABOUT TRIATHALON

[@thedocochoco]

Nikola, You said it perfect! I couldn’t have said it any better. I think Dana hesitated signing Nick because he and his brother speak their minds and are brash. That’s what makes a real man . They stand on their own merits. It’s so funny that neither Nick or Nate have ever taken a “ fighting nickname “. I like both because they only get stronger as the fight goes on and they always thank their team!

[@peterkenton]

It's amazing how if you talk about what Nick (even Nate) truly have a passion for they get all warm and fuzzy inside and gush about it. The talk of his friend Paul beating him in racing is evident of this. I think Nick deep down inside hates fighting which is why he seems so upset or out of it talking about it.

[@jaybunner87]

Peter Kenton nick openly admits he hates fighting

[@wandal.7636]

Peter Kenton was he talking about the Paul he just fought or a different Paul?

This has become legendary, already 10 years ago damn... Nick is a legend and I hope he's not done yet.

[@silverclaw4]

I've watched a lot of Nick's interviews, he never smiles or seems happy in anyway shape or form. However when Ariel mentioned triathlons, Diaz suddenly switched moods, his eyes lit up, he smiled (a rare sight indeed) and actually told a decent story. Did anyone else notice that? I honestly feel Nick's heart truly lies with his triathlons, he just no motivation for MMA anymore. When he went MIA before the press conference, he was coming back from a triathlon too.

[@swlafollett9963]

Anyone who knows fighting knows Nick is a Champion

[@ChanMorgan]

I noticed how Nick was all interested when Ariel mentioned a triathlon.

[@barbarajoseph1355]

Right from one fan from the UK who has been around since UFC1. Come on Dana start looking after the diaz brothers man. For sure they have been looking after you for years.

[@To_Live_Is_To_Suffer]

Ain't that the damn truth

[@spillz907]

not everyone is comfortable with a camera shoved in their face being asked questions... people blaming weed on Diaz's "on camera personality" are plain ignorant.

I love how Nick perks up when talking about his triathlons....his friend passing him lol. He goes from being overwhelmed and frustrated to smiling and happy. It makes me upset knowing how hard Nick is working in the gym right now, he doesn’t want to disappoint anyone, but then Dana made that disrespectful comment about him. I just want Nick to be happy tbh.Fuck the ufc.

[@HBKCommish]

Nick's face lit up the second Ariel mentioned triathlon. Seems like it's something he really loves to do. Almost seems to love it more than MMA.

[@rvb1999x]

He's my fav fighter I like his attitude

[@nemtizz]

Haha, his personality completely changed when Ariel mentioned the triathlon. He was giddy like a little kid

[@BlueBarrier782]

I feel kinda bad for Nick. He almost never smiles, but when they talked about the triathlon suddenly his face lit up. One of his interviews he said if he could make enough money doing triathlons as fighting, he'd do that.

[@curmudgeonbear3699]

"I got people out to get me..." -Nick Diaz

[@piratebri]

I like how Nick opens up as soon as Ariel mentions the triathlon. He loves doing those things

[@Themuffinman5466]

His personality just changes whenever the triathalon is mentioned

[@AsHeS2SweLL]

nick diaz is one unique human being. kind of refreshing in a way.

[@usernamePEN15]

i think he's trying to say he got fucked up in the leg in his last fight, and they made him fight again so soon. Not enough time to recover fully. So he thinks there trying to set him up to lose. All in all, he has great mma I.Q. and he makes more money than most of us, accomplished more than most of us. On top of that he's socially awkward which makes him an even badder and crazier character. Now he's what i call a fighter.

[@billyclub56]

Not only a Great MMA fighter, but a true martial artist. That's why, IMO, he never seems happy when he talks about his matches. It's not traditional, but it made him rich. Martial Arts are for self defense. I'm sure he struggles with that. Obligated to make that money, cuz he comes from the streets tho. But look how he turned into a happy kid, when Triathlon came up!!! You couldn't wipe thar smile off.

[@X_GG]

gotta love Diaz interviews... he keeps looking around like at minutes someone is going to jump out of the shadows and attack him.

[@SuperVirk1]

i'm always entertained by this guy, whether it be his fights or interviews

[@Da_Fonz]

I always diss Nick Diaz, but I have to admit, this guy is on a mission! That was an awesome fight with Paul Daley.

[@FFVII1992]

Nick Diaz is the MOST misunderstood guy on the planet. His fight with Condit was a tough one. I personally called it a draw it was very evenly matched

[@catkeys6911]

Seems like a good guy. I watch a lot of these videos, but I'm no expert. But this guy has to be one of, if not THE toughest out there. But not a mean personality, and very forthright about how he felt losing a bike race (hey, c'mon, Nick, don't beat yourself up for THAT!) . It seems like he feels he's being used, though, and I'm sure he IS - it's the nature of professional fighting- just set em' up for the bucks. I realize the timing of matchups can be critical and tricky, but ALL fighters are human beings, and need time to rest up and recuperate, and be with friends and family.

[@Inediblehulk]

I don't think I'd get along with him, but I give him props for being who he is regardless of the political rules. And for winning exciting fights, which is all that really should matter. Too many fighters try too hard to be "ideal" professionals, and it gets boring. If you don't like him, try to beat him. Till then, he's the champ and can behave how he wants.

[@fivestarz3s]

General rule of thumbs up please so we get the facts right. Nick Diaz is from Stockton California. Watch it on KZbin this is the getho. Look on NickDiaz209 channel on KZbin it's nicks channel. You will see street fight and crazy shit like that. Nick is a real fighter, when he fight he is on a real fight in his mind. He is also an athlete and work hard but he is from a place where it's tough so don't think he get punched too much he is just like a tiger in a jungle.

[@lMarxthoN]

Sorry for the long messages I just wanted to get my whole point across so we didn't end up in an argument as most people on youtube decide to argue about everything. I'm one of the few honest ones. The #1 thing you must ask yourself before smoking weed is: Is it worth the risk? For me it was as I was depressed. Guess what? After about a month of daily use my depression was gone. It did trigger panic attacks though sometimes. Then I got check up and my heart was fine so now i'm good to go. Peace!

[@griffinjohnson3858]

Nick is really passionate about everything he says I love that dude. Would be hella funny though if someone made a cartoon animation where he's literally fighting blind opponents and him saying that lol

[@Andsormida01]

@BlariX Yeah I made a mistake and I corrected it. He's fought twice this year, 3 times last year and twice in 09! That's literally the workload of a mid-tier UFC fighter. He'll probably fight only once more this year whether it be in boxing or MMA.

@cooldoodleofastorp i might be wrong but it might be cause when the fight ended nick shoved a camera over so it would film how daley couldnt get up and also you can see a close up of daley and nicks finger pointing at daleys face only a few inches away and i think some of the security pulled him away

[@GiovanniProductiveEfforts]

Hilarious. Diaz needed psychological management during the course of his career. His frustration manifested itself within his career. One of the best of all time. 👏🏼

[@darkmagician1710]

I don't get the point that you're trying to make, but needing psychological help isn't a sign of weakness.

[@drquack1217]

Dark Magician how is that what he’s saying?

[@riceburner888]

@Jaremus A question I'm curious about is if somehow Shield wins the welterweight belt ( I'm giving Shields a very slim benefit of the doubt here), will Diaz clamor for a unification title shot? However, I'm predicting that GSP and Diaz will have an epic showdown to determine the best welterweight in the world.

[@riceburner888]

@Jaremus Nick Diaz was in the UFC, got into an altercation with Joe Riggs after a fight, then he chose to leave the UFC to fight for his coach's attempt at a fight promotion; that promotion failed and Diaz went to Elite XC, then Strikeforce. Dana White was very dismissive of bringing Diaz back to the UFC after that whole fiasco where the Diaz brothers, Melendez, and Shields jumped Jason Miller. However, times has changed so Diaz could come back.

[@riceburner888]

@Jaremus Not only GSP's takedowns are a problem, GSP's cardio and his methodical striking are more threats. I hope we see title unification bouts later this year; I mean, when Pride got bought out, they went through it so I hope Strikeforce does the same.

[@lMarxthoN]

It doesn't cause paranoia, it can cause paranoia after long term use and it is rare.

[@jethyy]

Diaz is a hilarious interview, obviously Helwani will keep interviewing him

[@TEHWEEZY]

I agree with what he say's about too many fights. He's fought 5 tough fights within 2 years and they want him to get in the cage already with GSP? I love this man as a fighter. He's tough as nails.

[@Bkamlem]

nice to see his mood swings when ariel asks him about the triathlon

[@ErikID142]

@HBKCommish He said in another interview somewhere he said if he could make money doing triathlons he would give up MMA in a heartbeat.

[@TheTmattice73]

Nicks a good guy and a hell of an athlete and often rambles but this is Nick post fight after taking a pretty hard shot where he was knocked out and appeared to woke after the following shot...he seems very confused and cant stay on subject even for him...what do you guys think...I think he is still confused from the fight. Im glad he has taken time off for him to heal upstairs, he is always in wars and it takes its toll..that being said i expect a title run from him because he should be 100% for the first tiem in a long time. What do you guys think?

[@sakefrio2603]

He said he didn't care about the title. So he'll probably look for fights that the fans want to see.

[@doyoulikechocolate]

Nick Diaz deserves more respect - hes a warrior and glad he won. A hard worker and very athletic - a fighter true to the bone. Well done Nick - dont beat yourself up dude.

[@Jaremus]

@riceburner888 I know he was in the UFC. I remember his transition from mainly BJJ to a complete fighter. His fight with Robbie Lawler that shocked everyone. Basically you said the same thing. They were hesitant to bring him back because he's unstable. Not because they don't like him.

[@Jaremus]

@riceburner888 The big difference being- Pride ceased to exist, so they had to unify titles, having two champions for each division. That does not neccesarily have to be the case with Strikeforce. I agree with you about GSP's striking (cardio too, but that's obvious that I do). I saw one of Shields older fights and he looked really bad with his stand up. I think St.Pierre will easily pick him apart standing.

[@Rogue615]

We need.one more from Nick I'd.love to see it

[@johnjohnsonstein8409]

I love Nick but he was never not yapping about how bad he was being treated…. It’s probably his management… Caesar Gracie seems like a snake ngl

[@DeadOmega]

@chronicas420 Um.. it doesn't work like this. The fighters of Strikeforce are still under contract for the company, meaning they need to fulfill it before ever thinking of fighting UFC.

I doubt SF will suspend Nick. He is their only non-HW draw, and he seems to be headlining every other major event SF puts together. If they suspend him, it will only hurt SF.

[@HitTheChorus]

@2:46 did Nick just say "indecisiveness?" Wow... that's a big word for him lol.

[@JBoggs182]

Ariel needs to start doing these Diaz interviews with a translator.

[@batchinez]

The reason Nick is talking about suspension this and that.. Is because he went up to Paul Daley after the fight (when Daley had just been lifted up on a stool from being KO:ed on the floor) and probably said some shit ..If u look closely you can see his red gloves next to Daleys face

[@MaDGriZz78]

[@wwg1wga657]

Did he get suspended after this fight?

[@elmeeone]

Nick thinks he will be suspended for his actions following the win. as he takes off his mouth guard he says " where he at now?" then he points over to Daley's way, as he is lying on the ground and smirks. Then he pushes the camera to view towards Daley's way. He then walks over to him and points at him. I dont know what he said but you can see Nick's glove and finger pointing right at Daley..
