Nick, I'd like to thank you for your career and still being yourself.Take care guy. ...A greatful fan............

[@malikaijohnson8540]

THIS is the reason he smokes weed! He has an anxiety to speaking in public and doing interviews! Talked to him down in Stockton such a great guy!

Ariel asked Nick ALL the wrong questions and he's a sneaky condescending prick with jabs like explaining to Nick what trending on Twittter meant. He tried to play Nick like he was stupid.

They shouldn't force a guy to talk to media if he doesn't want to.

[@skiz72]

so true....but he handled it so well,i can see the anxiety hes experiancing during the interview but instead of cutting it short he keeps going....there was a time i couldnt stand Diaz,but learning more about him in the last year i Respect the hell outta him...im psyched he's comin back soon.

[@rodriga1985]

Well it's part of the job description and also comtractual so...yea.

if jose aldo can do it for all these years... nick can as well. Jose Aldo is like the least social person in the ufc roster... especially out of all the top best fighters. It's not because his English is bad... that too... but it's really because he's not a social person in general.

[@jacobjackson7013]

Lol... it’s called promotion. He’s getting paid to do it. No one is forcing anything on Nick.

[@Adz907]

@@jacobjackson7013 actually he's contractually obligated to attend all media appointments in the lead to any fight he has, its the same for all of then. Do you research before commenting on your stupidity 😂

[@alegriajanya]

I don't think that Ariel is talking to him like an idiot as much as he is trying to speak to him in a way that he doesn't piss Nick off.... ariel is like walking on egg-shells, it seems like to me.

[@Murdock13]

+Karinita At the 4:35 mark, when he asks about trending on Twitter, he adds "I don't even know if you know what that means." That line in particular made me think Ariel considered him a little slow.

[@LordFarquaad967]

+Murdock13 or maybe he just dont think nick keeps up twitter and shit like social networking.

[@alecfriedman5857]

I agree ,he does not want to come off in any way that would hurt his feelings

[@brandonGCHACHU]

His philosophy on training is spot on. Why hit a tire all day with a hammer and alot of that other bs you see out there in fitness. He prefers triathlons and nature for his training. One day my Uncle saw me lifting weights and told me that was a huge waste of time. He told me to join him stacking hay bails instead. I did....got paid to do it and it was the hardest workout I ever did lol. So I understand what Nick is saying here

[@loubloom1941]

I mean, lifting weights isn't really a waste of time since you're still gaining something from it.

[@littlechicken963]

its so easy to see he does not like the media attention . if you have seen what his trainer and school teachers have said about him it may make you understand he is out of his comfort z one . seems down to earth no so full of himself . for this reason so many people are on his side after his five year suspension .go back and watch his pride fights and see him show his concern that the guy he just beat up is ok .

[@knightmaremystery1553]

yup. nicks mom raised them very well to b kind & enjoy training. not to hurt others for no fuckin reason & always keep it 100. his fights are genius. he literally showed more RESPECT in pride n strike than anything. making sure his opponents were ok. hugging them & bowing down in asia to refs fighters & fans. nick diaz is the man.

[@littlechicken963]

Knightmare Mystery like your comment .much respect as a fighter and as a person

[@clashwithrapid4182]

fr people call them retarded and shit but I hope all the fucking haters know he has Social Anxiety

I grew up in Sac and understand nick's simplicity, big cities make you seek a small circle of friends and I respect his honesty. He doesn't put up a front but stays cool most the time. I live in West Texas now and miss the West coast a lot, but there's a lot of shit there that I do not miss.

[@808bboarder]

Nick is a great speaker he just has anxiety with media and I think any normal person would. He's just a real fighter and not trying to speak on Big stages. I think what made McGregor good is he craved media. That's why he hired his own media team

@Young King: hitting a large tire with a sledgehammer is a popular training technique along with running while using a weighted sled or cart for resistance. or so I hear...

[@YAVIAH]

Everytime time and only when he looks up you hear camera click lol

[@RichardBeckett66]

Those who have completed university or even high school are, in general, able to express themselves better than Nick can (with only one year of high school) - add to that, his Social Anxiety disorder and his difficulty with the mike is understandable - Nick Diaz is a bad-ass, fearless fighter with a ton of heart, talent and cardio who comes to FIGHT each time instead of trying "not to loose" - He does his talking in the ring, which is all that really matters to true MMA fans. Give him a break.

@Chumppi thats true u can tell that when he gets interviewed n has a camera right in front of his face hes shy n stuff but once hes in the octagon hes a tottally different person n thats what counts

[@mauricemachida8591]

did anyone see him push the mic down at the very beginning

[@throwinshapesnolan1879]

Haha anyone notice him pushing the mic away in the beginning

[@otagheshomare4]

years later, listening to Nick Diaz is refreshing. The thing about him and Nate is that first of all, you know they say what they mean. Even if you dont agree, you know thats really who they are, they not talking on the back of some institutionalised corporate agenda. Also, once the ice breaks and they get talking, they talk some real sense and give you some interesting insights that you would not normally hear from other fighters. likes how he said money takes the fun out of it and how he enjoys training martial arts etc. but hate the money aspect of it

[@nelq06]

Ariel "u still dont get it" fkn slap him !!!

NICK IS THE MAN NO DOUBT

[@Imakebootysclap]

him and his brother started off swimmers they do triathlons as well as mma.. some of the best stamina in the business because they have lifetimes of pushing it not just training for a fight like most fighters these guys are always doing something year round dam near sense birth..

[@Imakebootysclap]

swimming is bomb cause you hold your breath while working out.. any other sport you get to breath when ever so if you want to get some of the best stam ever get into swimming!

[@jesussons5639]

Coolnicknameguy you breath when you swim wtf are you talking about its pretty obvious you never took a swimming class

[@Imakebootysclap]

jesus sons I swam on 2 teams from 5 to 12 and when I was 8 I was a state champ for my age group.. however you are right.. I didn't take lessons.. I taught them..

[@dillsmacker2446]

Umm no they didn't start off as swimmers

im a die hard diaz fan. i notice that. but he's a fighter, not an interviewer. most people know hes not good with speaking in public. all of that aside, theres no debating his skill in the octagon

Does Nick Diaz put down the blue mic.?

[@BrandonGiordano]

What is it with Ariel Helwani and asking the most convoluted questions?

[@JatoUnitSoldier]

If you listen to him, it's clear that he just doesn't like the bullshit associated with the sport. He never said or even implied he's a misunderstood genius.

[@Inediblehulk]

@RichardBeckett66 As a true MMA fan, I do respect Diaz's skills and enjoy watching him fight. If this was a fight video, I'd have probably had praise in my comment. But as a true interview fan, watching an interview, I judge accordingly.

[@GianniVitucci]

@Deej1188 I am going to agree with you on the Anderson Silva topic only. though I have alot of respect for Silvas talents he Never fought a Wrestler (other than Henerson) at the level of Sonnen. Now that Sonnen exposed Andersons weakness Anderson and his management want nothing to do with Sonnen again. For those who dont believe check out the latest youtube vid with Soares talking on subject of rematch.

[@Magibatera]

@RevolutionistFTG Yeaaaaaaaah man !!

[@coryr6772]

I like the Diaz brothers. I think Nick gets nervous and his point doesn't come out right or he gets a little aggressive. I think he is a good guy though.

[@Magibatera]

He was not accustomed to it in the interview like strikeforce, man is humble, when viewed from the animal gets!

[@whytee666]

I loved watching Nick knock Joe Riggs and Mayhem Miller out in Strikeforce..but his best fights were in Pride where he taped out Robbie Lawler and Paul Daley.!

[@dannyh5937]

You can tell that the wheels in his brain are turning and he has so much to say but he can't express himself clearly. It's anxiety combined with an overall dislike of media and being in front of the camera. He doesn't care about fame or being a social media darling, his main concern is taking care of himself and those close to him. It sounds like his circle is extremely small but extremely loyal, a ride or die loyalty. I wish that someone gave Nick the ability to express himself and voice what's on his mind because he is such an interesting, intelligent human being and I'd love to find out what's going on in his head. Much respect to Nick Diaz.

[@01crews]

This kid is the best fighter right now

i dunno why, but the more i watch this guy fight and give awkward as hell interviews the more i root for him

[@iulia1690]

[@chrisray2022]

Nick doesn't fight his friend - that's awesome, it shows how much the people who Nick allows to become close to him really mean to him + (I bet his friends are like sweet, I'm not gonna get my ass kicked today)........Both the Diaz brother are real, nothing fake about them. Nick has a harder time with anxiety, you can see it on his face when he is in public and a lot of people are around him.....but he is on of the great trash talkers.....Nate handles the business side a little better, he is not overwhelmed with by some of the things his older brother struggles with. But Nate is a terrible trash talker - neither express themselves very, you can tell the education and lack of positive role models in their lives. But both seem to be great guys when in a small setting around fans - Both love to fight, and in a bully way, they actually enjoy the art of fight and I bet in the gym both are great coaches who want to teach - They both struggle with the money aspect - they don't understand it or trust those who are trying to teach them about it - even if they are getting properly compensated (which I highly doubt ~ Danna White) they would not believe it due to their upbringing or lack their of. (and the Nick banned for Smoking Weed **REALLY** wtf --- Who elects the Commissioner or allows them to be appointed - Las Vegas residents - VOTE THEM OUT ASAP, or vote for the ones who can fire them - they are old and useless if they believe weed is a PED or the in same realm of a PED - just stupid - The UFC and Boxing committees ect.... should stand up their fighters and take their business elsewhere - find a committee in or outside the USA to allow Nick to fight.

[@rashidyek]

you know you know you know... Did anybody count ho many times he said "you know"?

[@rick187053]

More worried bout putting over his C.G. boys than he is promoting himself. 85% of the roster would have tried to put themselves and thier fight over the entire time but Diaz took the road less traveled by. Shows alotta class. This guy is really growing on me.

[@preytec]

i don't think dana should force his fighters to talk with the press if they don't want to. i understand that he needs them too but maybe he should give one or two a pass on the press. i hope diaz wins, nothing against BJ but it'd be great to kickstart his return to the ufc

[@TheDonkeyman45]

"You know" = Drink up!!!

[@preytec]

@TheRy4an i think he needs to get help for that. what if he won the title? i know he was the champion in the other mma rings but ufc has a lot more press than them.
