UFC 158: Nick Diaz Interview "I'm The Only Real Deal"

[@issacnewton7059]

"I'm as ready as a car accident." -Nick Diaz..

[@mrgreeneye656]

Just realized he writes with his right and fights southpaw.

[@user-fm9hi5wj2g]

I think it’s a tactic to be awkward to no boxers and take away their right kick I think too

[@user-fm9hi5wj2g]

He fought othrhordox against the boxer he fought I can’t rmebeer his name

[@sbajm133]

This is one of the best Nick Diaz interviews of his entire career.

[@DexterHaven]

Good analogy. You are never ready for a car accident. You can't duplicate a fight in training camp. You can work on cardio and techniques, but bodies collide in the octagon like cars.

[@Chobotimus]

Good luck to both men, been anticipating this fight a long time!

[@undeadpresident]

Yeah I realize Diaz is the underdog but I think he can win and I hope he does. The great thing about MMA is you can't always predict exactly what will happen. Especially with someone like Diaz who may not do a lot of flashy moves but has shown a lot of toughness. A lot of people thought Frank Shamrock would beat Diaz too, but their jaws just dropped when Diaz beat him down.

[@showbiz3mvp]

I love Nick Diaz. "I want to start talking better" 2 minutes later... "I'm the real what it is."

[@gencgenc]

Nick Diaz is back! I have waited so long for the real champ to return to UFC! Go Nick! 209!

[@Peterdinh3]

he seems like a nice guy

[@bluesdealer]

"Did you stop to smoke pot, this week?" "Did you?! ಠ_ಠ" Hahahahahahahahaha!

[@eyezick9]

"Oh I see... Yeah, drugs are bad haha"

[@conorfrancis6611]

This guy is so freiken awesome

[@epathebay]

Nick Diaz has more personality than the half of the UFC roster combined

[@Marfmellow88]

Why is it so impossible to find interviews from the Jan 203 Montreal presser?? Nick seems so relaxed!

[@burnerjack01]

Few, if any are more professional, respected and respectful than GSP. Always a gentleman never a thug never a punk. What all fighters should be.

[@stage_5]

girl: did you stop smoking pot? diaz: did you?? hahahaha

[@geroy01]

GSP has been my fav fighter since 2006 but I truely now have a new love and appreciate for Nick Diaz. He really is the real deal man who is just terribly misunderstood.

[@BoyDanny93]

Agree, never get a quiet, respectful, and cool person mad cause you never what they're capable of doin

[@mistahac]

never seen him crack a smile until now

[@Ceekay420]

Legend

[@gmd1417]

"AS READY AS A CAR ACCIDENT"----YEAH!

[@deadlystrikers]

Nick is way better in front of cameras than in the past

[@Vince084]

Can't wait

[@jerrycraig6522]

Nick and Nate are two of the most entertaining fighters EVER!!!

[@22Absolute22]

nailed it, and i dont really care who wins this fight, but being a pot smoker myself and seeing Diaz' all or nothing attitude I guess I kinda want him to win. Georges is a great person, and so is Diaz. GL to em both!

[@yosemitesam9679]

Nick is the dude. I'm a big fan of both GSP and Diaz.. should be one hell of a fight.

[@Max-ek3tt]

so much more confident and well spoken!

[@htx8257]

GSP's face was jacked up at the post fight presser lmao! HOLLLLD ON for dear life!!

[@SABRETO0TH117]

lol "about as ready as a car accident right you know? your never ready for that one" hahah another classic quote!

[@cockboy12]

Ready as a car accident... You're never ready for that one. Well said Nick.

[@iiwatcher]

I hope so man. I would love to see Diaz sub him.

[@gabet8154]

Same!

[@eastcoastcroc]

" as ready as a car crash" nick diaz. i like that mentality

[@iiwatcher]

Yeah, I hope it was good for him, and I hope he comes with a solid game plan instead of the same stubborn approach. I'd love to see Diaz win.

[@nir766]

Nick ,you are going down !

[@nextlvlroy]

You watch him do that 24/7? That's just beyond sick.

[@martinhall9800]

ITS ABOUT TIME NICK WINS A BIG FIGHT

[@Max-ek3tt]

couldnt agree more my friend.

[@needlzzz1]

nick diaz will bring the pain...this guy is as real as it gets!

[@0282sm]

Im from Quebec and really like and support GSP but I think that this guy will get the best of it this time. If I had big money to bet on that fight I would put it on Diaz...

[@axelaxelaxel1992]

Don´t know why but i fucking love the Diaz brothers.

[@Datboi1231]

I like how many people in this keep trying to make others feel stupid while at the same time misspelling every two words

[@SebastianTrii]

not trying to lecture at all, i found your comment intresting and wanted to share my view. GSP was my favourite fighter for a long time and i also trained for 10 years and i still think GSP will have a hard time haha but well we will see soon, cheers

[@HulkHoganBodyslam]

Nick is a character

[@geronimojiujitsu9541]

I was going to say the same thing, he even mentioned it. Spoken like a different person, dang. Id love to see someone beat GSP. nothing against George but it would at least stir up the division and get GSP back on the grind. And if that person is Nick Diaz that would be awesome.

[@jimmicrackhead12]

2:00 that's Carlos Condit!!

[@plainview1]

I never liked Diaz but I do now. After the Gomi fight I grew a new respect for him... \

[@ELGAZRO7]

I love the way people hate on GSP because he uses his brain first when fighting, he's the best and its good to see people in the octagon who aren't simply trained thugs

[@RobTheProspect]

I agree. Daley is the #1 P4P fighter in the world right now, and only because Fedor isn't fighting anymore. Diaz was lucky to make it out of that fight alive.

[@iiwatcher]

I understood him perfectly. yes, he rambles on. He's not known for talking. He's not Chael Sonnen. He doesn't even like doing it, but he's trying. He's known for bringing it every time and ducking no one. I am big fan, but I agree GSP will probably win, unless Diaz has truly realized how necessary it is to alter one's approach to adapt to certain fighters. GSP will play it safe, and dry hump his way to another victory, as always.

[@Way6Music]

the only reason why I want to see diaz vs silva is because itd be a sick stand up fight

[@nhbfighter9000]

Nick has beat some of the best heavy hitters in the mma game. he walked forward and took the out. he could have held the ufc belt at one point like he said. I agree nick woulda beat matt hueghs. in my opinion gsp needs to win a damn title defense without a judges decision. no more 5 5min rounds, let them go until someone wins.

[@GregoryCunningham]

I guess it depends on what information you consider important. He's clearly doing well for himself.

[@bjjchris333]

droppin knowledge on fools!

[@BoyDanny93]

exactly as i predicted

[@paddingtonlaw2491]

Does anyone else think he looks like Wolverine?

[@TheRealKoolaid]

That Diaz vs Silva matchup is eating me up man. Set that shit up Dana

[@dontkilltomebro333]

yh thats what you think..but he didnt want to do that with jake shields coz of his guard..so what do you think hes gunna wanna do with nick?

[@63Bueno]

not a top 5 contender??? And its not about being able to go 5 rounds and not get tired. Its about being able to go 5 rounds HARD and KNOW u won't get tired. Diaz''s cardio is on another level to these guys and thats for real...

[@undeadpresident]

Yeah it makes it harder to predict.

[@pondawai]

I think stylistically this is interesting, GSP with a solid boxing/karate base and the most insane wrestling (especially since he was never a collage or university wrestler ... vs ... Diaz with a super slick boxing style and karate of his own, mixed with the counter style to wrestling in jiu-jitsu - both excellent fighters in their dominant and/or preferred positions and both being basically the Yin to the other's Yang

[@Fossiil-Records]

its so hard to watch him struggle with his thoughts and words. lol poor guy.

[@youngAssassinAM]

@iiwatcher I never seen GSP lay &prayed please tell me which fight

[@04cobradmurphy7]

Nick Diaz is the man !!!!!!! I really wish he could have stopped the rake downs, I really wanted him to win !!!!! He is the real deal, a real person, probably the beast friend u could have !!!! A real American, don't take no shit of no one !!!!!

[@iiwatcher]

"he is known to ground and pound" I think you meant lay & pray. I would love to see GSP ground & pound for once.

[@hunsicker5]

Look at the guy in the white jacket at 2:12. He nods like whats up and then when Diaz walks away his face turns to "what the fuck"hahaha

[@Christian-Rankin]

I see it going one of 10+ ways based on how much GSP wants to win OR not lose and I don't narrow it down based on the past as if I have 1000 data points and a crystal ball...

[@MrColdwatercanyon]

I'm fuckin glad he makes it clear about the call out " Where You At George Where You At Mother Fucker " cause that the one everyone heard loud and clear . Dana and his Prom King

[@Eddieking]

They hold you tightly, like GSP does, bro.

[@SinisterSkip]

train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day!

[@KevinDurant206]

WEED IS NOT A DRUG NICK! ITS A PLANT! Nd his lil bro is one of my favorite fighters!

[@ElGUIRRILLERO1]

I AGREE 100% !

[@ssfc10]

"Im about as ready as a car accident. No ones ever ready for a car accident."

[@brokenthumb8387]

Cant wait to see GSP fight without the ring rust!!!!

[@neochrist33]

show all the footage !!!

[@MarkXbl]

Nice to see GSP wearing one of his Dad's shirts.

[@tali1542]

Its actually about 70% which is pretty good, but that doesn't mean shit against gsp double leg

[@nigooz]

Verbally and in the fight.

[@SABRETO0TH117]

I wonder what shape he will be in for the fight!

[@Daddymcmix]

I bet that spot on his lip hurts more then some of his fights.

[@Schatje79]

Unlike that dude "Wirthquake," I happen to be a fan of both Nick and Georges. That being said, for the sake of accuracy, Nick went about four years after his no-contest with Gomi before he fought reasonably ranked top-10 opponent in Paul Daley.

[@HawaiianWarrior100]

Diaz has good kicks sure he doesn't use em often but wen he does it's some nice kicks, alot of people have the wrong image of Diaz, he's really a cool guy I've watched Diaz for awhile he's a true fighter with tremendous skill. I hope he proves everybody wrong I like george but I wouldn't mind seeing Diaz get the belt

[@spartanelite300]

Hey man, why you hating on GSP? I get you're not a fan of his style but he's still one of the best. He's a very dominant fighter and saying he just dry humps for 5 rounds is asinine. He's humble too. Nick even says in this interview that it's hard to hate the guy and he actually likes him. I'm hoping Nick wins but there's no shame in respecting an opponent.

[@AletheAce]

Don't be scared homie, you just wait and see :)

[@TheSmashingTime]

Good point, but more Quotes are yet to come.

[@warheadsilva]

Didn't this video have alien music.

[@iLightShow1]

So much hate on every MMA related video...everyone just needs to chill out...

[@JerseyJersey100]

To say Diaz beat Condit is to say octagon control is more important than strikes, power strikes, strategy, and physicality. Face it folks-Diaz shoulda grabbed Condit-but he couldnt bc Condit hit/kicked every time he got close. Thats called neatralizing ur oponents strengths. I truly appreciate all his fans blind and unwavering support, but they get way to wrapped up in his tough guy talk. And I personally respect the shit out of his skills.

[@msh0041zz]

"like getting ready for a car accident"

[@VelhaGuardaTricolor]

I respect both fighters, but I would love to see Nick SUBing GSP.

[@AletheAce]

You're right

[@mexipacfan]

I don't think ppl understand just how good Nick is on the ground,they think GSP will just take him down and do what ever he wants.I don't think it will be like that at all,yes, GSP will take him down but Nick will give him all he can handle on the ground.

[@lordkira9791]

I like the Diaz brothers. The only problem I have with them is that they go overboard with trash talking sometimes. Other than that, they're honest and exciting and aren't douchebags. I do, however, believe he's going to get dominated by GSP just because of the ground game difference.

[@lordthuban2678]

Listen to Lord Thuban give a candid GSP vs Diaz prefight analysis.

[@abbeykroeter]

It all comes down to style match ups and preparedness... not styles. When will people learn this? Should be a good match up since Nick has great stamina and seemingly an indestructible face. I can see Nick's argument since he is so durable and can last through George, but don't single out one style as unfair. St. Pierre is careful, and wearing down most opponents when the final round ends. It's not like he WANTS to stay out there. I don't need the K.O. or submission to know what's happening!

[@JeffPenaify]

Man Nick is one of my favorite fighters,but I don't think id put money on him over GSP, if we're talkin dollars I couldn't make that bet. GSP is a great fighter and he know the scoring system perfectly. If Diaz does the same old and tries to brawl, I dont know if he will win.

[@dgd1ego]

about as ready as a car accident , your never ready for that one.

[@abbeykroeter]

...what about knees to the head on the ground? Head butts? Banned. That limited wrestlers tremendously, since their style put them into position (and physically they were gifted) for using them. With rounds, sometimes a jiu-jitsu hold is interrupted, striking is interrupted, but ALSO wrestling is interrupted; we've seen fights where the wrestler is out-positioning and cracking the guy worse and worse, and the round ends as things were getting ugly... or what about...

[@GODTHESOOTHSAYER1]

Nick is getting better, he almost sounds intelligent.

[@willenglish3634]

I see this going one of two ways, either Nick starts to work GSP's body taking away from his cardio and eating him up in the later rounds or GSP will get hit in the face and instantly take him down and stall for the remainder of the fight. Nick has a better chance of finishing GSP then GSP has to finish Nick. AND you better expect some slick sub attempts once Diaz is on his back.

[@dgd1ego]

did you stop to smoke pot?
