The real negativity here are the comments against Nick!! What a sweet beautiful soul he is! Nothing but honest and pure. He just fought, was probably uncomfortable and just wanted to relax and get high. Instead he had to answer a bunch of snoozer questions which only served as a reminder of things he wasnt happy about. I'm a fan for life! Nick Diaz all day, all night all day! ❤

[@formhubfar]

The name "Diaz" is right up there with the greats!.., what a legacy!

[@formhubfar]

@Antonio Diaz Nice try :-p

[@RL-ww5ev]

no it's not. his name carries more weight then his actual skills do

[@johnsimpelton5176]

@@RL-ww5ev you wish you had half the skills Nick has lmaoo

[@iamjp1]

@@RL-ww5ev you can say that about nate but not about nick. nate's got the heart for sure but nick was a legit contender at 170

[@Marfmellow88]

It pisses me off that Dana says what he says @36:14 when Nick is so visibly upset. To say that GSP called Nick "the most disrespectful human being" after an emotional press conference is such an asshole move. GSP never ever said that out of his own mouth publicly because he was a coward. So disrespectful. Poor Nick, no wonder he loses it at the GSP press conference and says the UFC is trying to sell wolf tickets.

[@JWN1987]

Is this legit? Roy nelson in a suit and no beard? wow

[@jaredcook4577]

CGI imo 😆

[@krupniokk]

Roy looks like italian gangster

[@MrGOOZ3]

idk what's more exciting, diaz interviews or diaz fights... i'll take the interviews caz they're real as hell

[@yeeerrrrrrr]

Wild how Nick gave an interview that was so thoughtful and real, after a WAR💯💯💯 NDA

[@matthewcmeyer]

This is by far the best post fight press conference of all time. I have probably watched it 10 times, but can still watch it again. This is the most uncomfortable Dana has ever looked at a post fight presser. You can tell that Diaz is a real person and reponds to questions with real unedited answers. Breath of fresh air to all of the standard cliche answers. This is why I will always be a fan of Diaz win or loose. P.S. - Ben Askren should be in the UFC. Check out some of his fights. Best wrestling I have ever seen from an mma fighter. He is no joke and the UFC screwed all of the true mma fans by not letting this undefeated olympian fight the best guys in the world. Can't wait to see Rousey fight again, she is amazing and worth the extra pay-per-view cost. Great video post Karyn.

[@pacrossiljo6598]

same me.i watch over and over again....haha

[@de1eri0us]

4 years later and it finally happened

[@aslanibnislam]

OH MY GODNESS, ARE U HUMAN?

[@rileyackelson85]

Yeah, Ben askrin is good, but boy. What a predictable blast double off jump

[@Trey5Damare]

Ben Askren Died. may his soul have peace.

[@timmelvin6251]

Roy Nelson's reactions to everything Nick Diaz says is hilarious

[@gabrielmunoz9146]

I think another huge factor is that when people get into this kind of competition, there's a huge rise and build before the fight and then a major fall after the fight. Nick, being such an intense person, I think takes the post fight era a lot harder than most people. I don't think a press conference right after a fight is the best time to get his thoughts recorded. Look at how he's handling himself now with the Silva fight coming up. Super level headed.

[@kalimbatu]

"I had to find something to fight him about" Nick is great but so personal, he really doesn't seem to want to beat people up, he needs to find a "good" or valid reason to do so. He rants about what he thinks is interesting, cause he's a pothead I guess, and not because he's a diva or cage-clown like so many other fighters. Humble(:ish) but honest and talkative.

[@kalimbatu]

what "rest" though? hahaha

[@kathrynlanes4575]

That's why they always call both Diaz brothers emotional fighters. He takes no joy unless someone disrespects him but at the end if the day it's his job.

[@griffinjohnson3858]

Bj and Nick Diaz are both legends. Respect to the OGs of the UFC. These were the badasses of that era Nick Diaz is the original BMF before anybody. respect to both had very entertaining careers

Thanks Karyn you know we love the full post fight conferences! :)

I'll take my ass whoopin I'll take my money and I'll go home

[@Marfmellow88]

Literally the saddest moment of the whole thing. He was so used to feeling that way that he cant see that people want him to do well. Looks like he wanted to cry almost...

[@TheWestboom]

Nick is definitely my roll model Great guy

Nick Diaz is a legend!! They need to put respect on his name ASAP!!

[@KingYing90]

There is nothing wrong with Nick, he's just a real dude, and you just aren't use to seeing that.

[@jagc3ve]

Thank you for the upload Karyn! Not even the UFC channel has it yet. I was starting to wonder if they were going to allow only higlhlights of the presser.

[@MoonBHAA]

after Nick Diaz showed up, it turned into the Nick show.

[@blackfoxxx]

"FM Making $25 mil, He can't stop the double leg.. I had to school to learn that Sh*t"

[@Tbirdication93]

TBH i had Diaz 1,2 and 5. I had Condit in the fifth until the takewon. Condit had no answers, he just defended subs and was lucky there was no more time.

[@randall5350]

Interesting how this interview exposes Dana for the greedy guy he’s always been… and the legend that Nick Diaz has always been ! Nick is my favorite fighter of all time for the way he fought and spoke his mind.

Much respect to Natsu Hioki for trying to please the fans by speaking english which is an alien language to guys like him.

[@michaelviens2894]

That is an open book man I feel you we need more people like that in the world, that just tell the truth, and you Roy

[@IBProfane]

Nick Diaz is NOT stupid. He knows that he's a hot commodity at this point, the UFC cannot afford to cut him, there's too much money to be made off of his fights. He will continue to say whatever he wants regardless of what Dana White thinks. Nick is a lot more intelligent than people think, he just isn't the most eloquent or articulate.

[@davidringle7]

That look on Roy's face is like damn bro that's the longest answer ever

[@bppump4life]

i love how he isn't about himself he's about team true warrior!

[@Vakuma2point0]

Damn... Diaz sucked the life out of that room.. Everyone could feel his sadness and frustration. Was it just me, or did Dana got antsy as hell after Nick mentioned his thoughts on not getting the GSP fight?

[@1991Nodoubt]

Yah, Dana def got heated and that's why he fake jokingly was like, "Oh what's he saying is Dana fucked you over" and blah blah blah lol Dana didn't like that, but Nick didn't give no fuck about what Dana thought.

[@kasha5839]

I know this was a long time ago but I'm curious if you still feel that way about that comment?? Think about it.

[@SamuraixJack]

THANK YOU KARYN!!! Your the best!!!

[@m33lover]

Damm...Never seen a conference so awkward in the UFC like this one. Wow, You could see and feel the tension on Danas face throughout the whole thing.

Nick's the man , Honest In your face views . No Bullshit . Great interview . He had the harder road to get where he is , and hes there . The only problem Gsp will take em down , just like the hardy fight . But I like Ricks odds too . Gonna be a good fight . Also the GSP call out was classic .

After the handshake it really went south. It started out so well between them.

[@ScreaminModelKits]

"I didn't go to school to buy houses" omg.

[@Lee_Forre]

I'm not a doctor by any stretch, but listening to Nick and considering the brain trauma he's suffered, I wouldn't be surprised to find out he does have serious depression. A lot of athletes and soldiers have taken their lives due to that type of depression and I truly hope I'm wrong. Fighters like Nick put it all on the line and I hope he makes it out in good health.

Dana was so happy with that fight and to tell nick he got the gsp fight and looked so bewildered after nicks pissed off rants 🤣🤣 nick made a hell of a lot of sense but totally killed the vibes

[@lilruse]

Lol Roy looks like Nicks lawyer in this

[@martinasrna1108]

As much as I would love to see Nick in the octagon again sometimes I feel it was better for him to stop. He never came back although suspension was cut to 18 months. He prob found out he was better off too. Unfortunately he took partying in LV with the same entusiasm like fighting. Its hart to decide what was worse for him. Still love him and miss his fighting, he is one of a kind.

[@Marfmellow88]

I agree. I wish he hadn’t of gone down the road of Vegas parties, drugs, drinking and promiscuity. He used be to 100% against that kind of lifestyle. He seemed really sad and lost. He looks healthier now and in a better place. He doesn’t want to fight, never has, he just wants the payday. I don’t blame him.

[@martinasrna1108]

@@Marfmellow88 Nick has a difficult personality, you can tell he wasnt happy during fighting era and was completely lost during LV times when he really pushed himself into dark place. Now he looks great, maybe its the age too. Many ppl I have known were like that and if they survived all the bad sht (many of them didnt),somehow later around 40s they settled down. Time something changed in them. I pray to god that is the Nicks pattern too.

[@Marfmellow88]

@@martinasrna1108 totally! His personality is a result of his childhood and not having a father around and a mother who worked a lot. He didnt learn healthy coping mechanisms and bc of his work he never learned real world skills. He had to stop fighting to do that. I just want him to be happy. I wish him the best!

[@wall91nutz]

He doesn’t like fighting. He would rather do triathlon but the money isn’t there

[@GigiBellaadventures]

I think he needs someone to help him. Like an assistant that is patient and educated enough to deal with him and arrange things for him... Including money management, time management etc.

[@alphadog62]

@wgeorgew I absolutely agree. After listening to him during this press conference I have changed my previous thoughts on Nick. This young guy needs someone in his corner teaching him the ropes and keeping deflecting the business Bullshit and keeping Dan's Assin line. The kid aint perfect he is just hungry and like all of us Hates the bullshit. If I wasnt 49 and I had any MMA skills I'd volunteer to help him Out. I respect and have cheered for GSP in the past but its time for a guy like Nick!
