[@tommyvercetti6176]

He's no loser. He was able to hang 5 rounds with a roided-out legend. Nick's a winner in my book. I dont care what Anderson does in the future.

[@Baideybabe]

Valid point. Diaz has proven he's tough.. he is so tough

[@tommyvercetti6176]

***** fuck you too bitch.

[@tommyvercetti6176]

***** gaylord fucker

[@RenegadePyro]

Tommy Vercetti The "Roided out" legend looked like dog shit. They both did nothing the whole fight. Was a terrible contest.

[@tommyvercetti6176]

Pyrochyde age probably also a factor, they've both been fighting for so long.

[@marcogrca]

A stoned Nick Diaz beat a roided out Anderson silva. I think it's safe to say Nick Diaz is the GOAT

[@dagodigs]

Nick is a G

[@YoungJrolldaJ]

Nick is like a wise old samurai... People call it rambling but he basically answers all the questions that he knows the reporters will ask. That's why he gives like 5 minute answers, he's answering like 3 questions at a time lol

[@oishiikayo7635]

Another win stolen from him.. And then people use it as an argument "oh he hasn't won his last fights, he doesn't deserve title shots or the money he asks". I say give him anything he wants, this guy is a legend

[@Victorythruattrition]

This fight was a draw! no way Diaz lost, Silva did nothing but run.

[@josh19624]

***** diaz controlled the rounds 1 elbow dont win the fight fool

[@tommyvercetti6176]

Diaz put on a great show. Silva acted all timid n shit.

[@derekwildash2683]

I was rooting for Diaz but Silva clearly won the fight.

[@gabrieldelarosa1485]

I agree Diaz won that fight. I had him winning rounds 1,2 and 4 and now that we know Silva was juicing to try to win the fight it makes the Diaz showing more impressive. People say Diaz was clowning but the truth is he was mocking Anderson Silva. Everything Diaz did was done by Anderson Silva in previous fights. Diaz came up 15 pounds to fight Silva and didn't weight drain him or make it a catch weight. It is sad Anderson Juiced for this fight seeing that Diaz basically came up to his weight. I am even more impressed by Diaz performance because I feel he got the better of Anderson in many exchanges.

[@wazzer1812]

haha didnt see your message till after i put mine lol

[@everydaylost]

He called him Weedman instead of Weidman lolol. That's too awesome.

[@Julian-qv8ot]

HAHAHA LOL nick is the my favourite fighter all time

[@jbot91]

That's how it's pronounced? No? He's from where I'm from and that's what we say.

[@xMidnightxSunx22]

LOL Weedman. Got to love Diaz

[@conorfrancis6611]

Petri Rendi He's a legend

[@Bobcat937]

Seeing a lot of Diaz hate on here. Not sure what everyone else saw but I saw a guy fight possibly the G.O.A.T. who is a natural weight class above him, stood toe to toe and did better than anyone has ever done (with the exception of Weidman of course). Armchair bitches gotta hate I suppose......

[@Bobcat937]

Mcgregor take on all challenges?........ He just fought a midget half his size, 10 years his senior that is ranked 3 places below him. So Nick, the guy who just fought silva is taking less challenges that Mcgregor?... Get a fucking grip. Why do so many retards keep using Conor and Nick in the same breathe. Conor is a good prospect but hasn't fought anyone yet whereas Nick earned his place a long time ago and has never backed down from a fight. P.S. He clearly bear Condit. Turning your back during a fight and running away doesn't constitute "winning" and is actually against the rules

[@cristobilllumberg2473]

***** I wont argue with you having a problem with Nick's excuses but there is a reason why nick gets big fights. He's dangerous to every fighter in the ufc and nobody has ever stopped him.

[@Bobcat937]

Pummeled? Firstly, those were point scoring punches that never looked like finishing anderson. Secondly, Chael got finished.... Nick didn't. So, I'll have to disagree with you disagreeing :)

[@larrytate1657]

So let's do it again and this time Anderson has to be clean and nick gets to juice! Nicks punches would suddenly be substantially harder and maybe he knocks silva out.

[@RenegadePyro]

BobCat The goat? They both looked terrible. They hardly had any good exchanges. The fight was pathetic..LOL

[@ronman4984]

Nick Diaz is a truly remarkable man. Man that was unfair him going against a roid head like Silva. Silva your legacy is tarnished and I am sadden. Nick was the winner of this fight. U fought GSP and Silva, both ROID heads. Man, Nick, U are the man, None of them could fight you out right. They had to cheat cause u do things honestly and they cheated when they fought u. GO NICK! GO NATE! GO JOE SCHILLING!!!!

[@user-tj7pn3kk7p]

He had no business fighting them

[@TouchdownTamagotchi]

Nick Diaz gained more from this fight than Silva. And I feel Diaz should make a run at the belt at welterweight and knock out Robbie again LOL. WAR DIAZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Nick is a straight beast who's never been finished in the UFC and is entertaining as hell to watch so I hope Nick Diaz doesn't retire or go on some stupid 3 year layoff. And who can say that they fight both GSP and Silva ...not too many ,more like noone except Diaz.

[@klaatubarada6182]

***** Have you watched the fight? Silva started crying like a little bitch and Nick helped him up while giving him some Stockton slaps to man up. Watch the fight and you'll see. The Diaz brothers gives a great show for US, the audience to enjoy. So appreciate the show pendejo!

[@TouchdownTamagotchi]

***** Carlos ran for 5 rounds and GSP layed on Nick for 5 rounds lol. Nick's record in the UFC may be 7-7 but all of his losses are DECISION LOSES, hes never been finished.

[@TouchdownTamagotchi]

***** I didnt say his record is mabey 7-7 , I said his record maybe 7-7 but BAKA. Secondly, Nick has never been finished and fought both GSP and Anderson Silva. And let me guess the excuses are going to start to unfold and your going say it was because of Silva's age well if thats the case .Then both of those wins Weidman got over Silva were definalty a F L U K E...........FLUKE.

[@victorsalinas9854]

Idk about? Robbie is way better now bro.

[@TylerH2055]

Honestly, Its not diaz's fighting ability that holds him back, hes just fucking stupid, he dosent adjust to the fight when he starts losing, he gets sooky and cant overcome adversity and bitches a bout it after

[@jamriangjindawed2734]

Give them a brake. Both fighters have been off for a long time and Silva coming back from a serious injury. They both did well, no winner, no looser, much respect. Water Buffalo

[@eyezick9]

Very well said and I agree.

[@vizestroowash]

Jamriang Jindawed *loser

[@chrisderullieux8849]

***** Steroids

[@ogyen7]

Diaz doesn't need a interviewer. He answer everything in one question.

[@Hollywoodhouse74]

he won this fight... Nick didn't take steroid's... Silva did... fuckin cheater

[@denirobernard9745]

even if you take the roids out.... he clearly whipped silva by volume of strikes landed

[@ivanovicl]

HAHAHAHAHA he got killed, again

[@jayperters5997]

he lost easily every round. And Anderson roided to get back those atrophied leg muscles in shape after being out of commission for a year. And Diaz was high on MJ. Diaz uses reefer to numb his senses and take away his fears and anxieties.

[@crazykuup9271]

Nick is the sooooooo far from being a loser!!!!!!!! He stomped that dude!!!! He’s a real winner and a good person!!!!

[@tommyvercetti6176]

Win, lose, or draw - still a Diaz fan. He came to put on a show, great fight. Anderson played it safe. WAR DIAZ

[@mclife1]

Anderson done well to even come back after that leg break and i respect Nick taking the fight. I understand that Anderson would be a bit hesitant but he didn't run he just used his head and i think some people underestimate Diaz he is a hard hitting tough dude (true fighter).

[@WassabiYakunglee]

Nick brought an outstanding fight. He actually won it. Great fight!

[@mohieddinalfahel6077]

Karyn you are the freaking best ! thx

[@HookRightGoodnight]

"RENAN BARAO IS A MONSTER!"

[@jgreen114]

Gotta love Diaz

[@petitlouis5010]

I never really being found of Diaz brothers but after all the PED's stuff happened, I watched their fights : incredible warriors. And I'm starting to believe them to be, beside a reefer or two, part of the cleanest fighters in this sport....

[@sengkhou597]

Dont forget Diaz was a 170, and he moved up to 185 to challenge Silva. He did more than really well. Hope he will come back in UFC this year.

[@adamtownsend7829]

Ya I'm not really into having surgeries..

[@vibe808]

Nick Diaz is a very entertaining fighter. One of my favorites. No fear!

[@crazykuup9271]

Nick and Nate are the best fighters in history of fighting!!!! And the coolest most honest guys you will ever see!!!

[@skmalaujitra9580]

no..the most delusional

[@angelmurillo3476]

Bro ! Honestly I respect you alot Nick and Nate are the realest fighters . Realest ppl . In life you hardly see that . Humble and ready to rumble . Yo nick man if I ever get the chance to met you it will be a huge honor You the goat

[@likewise4Gaming]

Win or lose the Diaz brothers are warriors and they always bring it! Nothing but huge respect for both of them!💯

[@karkang]

Never realized how clear Nicks speech was at this point, shame what happened to him, wish he kept fighting after that Anderson fight, he looked great here.

[@BronchitisMan]

1:13 "...I think he was throwing that in the fight with Weedman" ......

[@TheBombDigDiggity]

WEEDMAN HAS ME DYING LMAO

[@ricosavage4281]

I love hearing nick talk

[@soldierofjesuschrist6303]

Was a great fight on nicks part in my opinion, he moved forward so much in this fight, gave Silva every opportunity to want to exchange with him, guys got so much finesse inside the octagon and a solid chin..

[@CherryPauper]

Idk about you guys, but all I'm hearing is 13 minutes of excuses.

[@TimewarpTV]

it's typical Diaz.

[@Victorythruattrition]

Silva didn't do jack! he ran the entire fight, no way Diaz lost. A draw for sure.

[@Robin-kp1nv]

Victorythruattrition Yep. It should've been a draw for sure. But it might've been anticlimactic

[@josiahdaugherty9095]

yeah but he didnt need them. he clearly won that fight but those dumbass judges made another terrible desicion.

[@MichaelZola]

You said it. For one thing he doesn't speak very clearly. Anyone could of guessed this would happen just by the way he was talking before the fight. He needs a change of attitude or make reasonable goals with his career.

[@sonnybrown4758]

I'm a Diaz fan because I never think he's right in his personal assessment but he always works in a fight.

[@tommyvercetti6176]

Win, lose, or draw, still a Diaz fan. He puts on a great fight. Silva played it safe.

[@jakefreakinclark]

Seriously though, nobody gets run away from more than Nick. I absolutely think octagon control needs to be factored into the scoring, and you tell me wtf a fighter is supposed to do when facing guys who are just going to back away from you the entire time

[@11gingin]

gotta love how he holds that mic

[@russianbot3131]

no script, that's some real shit! good for Nick Diaz

[@wongke]

Thank you Nick. Thanks for a great show.

[@thunderballzz]

Anderson Silva couldn't take out a welterweight? Bravo Nick!

[@RoslynnFielder]

ya just gotta respect an honest man......spot on nick...(as always)

[@ChromeChildren12]

1:14 did Nick say weedman LMAO 😂😂

[@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee78]

Diaz was caught on marijuana, and everyone knows that marijuana doesn't give you any advantage in a fight. But Foolish idiots are ignoring that silva cheated using steroids in order to beat Diaz. That's why he had more energy and stamina in the latter rounds. Re-match with a guaranteed fight cancellation if anyone comes up dirty for steroids before the fight

[@BobbyBoonyBrown]

***** Diaz past the pre-fight test, but failed to post fight test, which most likely means after the fight he smoked a bowl, he, most likely, didn't smoke weed to fight. Because who wants to fight while high? Maybe fight a big ass bowl of cereal and then run a netflix marathon.

[@jayperters5997]

It does give an advantage. Joe Rogan commented on this. It numbs the effect of pain. It also takes away Diaz's fear and anxiety, and puts his mind at ease. He's been smoking so much that he's built a tolerance in that it doesn't affect his motor skills. BJJ guys will light up before training because it puts them in the "zone" and they can last longer.

[@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee78]

Jay Perters , didn't you read dojOdRiFTeR comment? Diaz passed the prefight test, but of course we know the diaz brothers immediately light up all the time after fights, that why Nick did not pass the post fight test.

[@jayperters5997]

Post-fight test results (blood and urine) are done shortly right after the fighters go backstage for their post-fight medical (the Nevada State Athletic Commission rules). So no one is lighting up right when they go backstage because they are being watched by NSAC offcials. If you light up a joint within 6hrs of your fight, then it is still considered in-competition. Don't believe me? Nate got busted for this very thing, but was only given a warning. But he only lighted up AFTER he gave blood and urine for his post-fight. link to that: mmajunkie.com/2016/10/nate-diaz-gets-public-warning-from-usada-over-ufc-202-post-fight-vape-pen-use This means Nick smoked during the period after the pre-fight test and before his post-fight, which very well means he could have lighted up right before the fight, same as some bjj guys do before competiton.

[@delhidelirium9091]

@dojOdRiFTeR Bs, smoke a plant and go out pick fights in the streets , you´ll realize just how ´helpful`weed is in a fight ... hahah, come to think of it you´ll probably won´t even take anything serious enough to pick any fights at all ...

[@simomonster]

Nick is a philosopher :) . Nick is real. win or lose i love him. Nick smokes weed but never use steroids :) love you Nick

[@poilochio]

1:13 "that whip kick that he was throwing against "weedman" lol

[@da1onlynickvicious]

hes fought very infrequently and hes fought the absolute best of the best in the world.he has the ability to beat anyone in the world in his weight classes. i dont think those losses reflect poorly on him at all.he was competitive in every one of his losses.

[@sheba1sheba1]

yeah anderson had power in his jab he was juiced up and still didnt hurt this kid nick is awesome hope he comes back again

[@jcole3489]

"Weedman" bahahahahhaa Dude Nick is an inintentional literary genius...

[@AngelBlackwellX]

Diaz needs to hate his opponent to fight effectively, and he simply respected the spider too much. Considering his boxing coach wasn't around and that his damaged arm prevented him from throwing meaningful left hands, it's no surprise to me he was unable to apply his pressure style. Hopefully, he will drip to WW and fight lawler, who would be more than willing to engage him.

[@abhi8759]

***** and only with a flashy punchXD. God knows what would have happened if he threw those mean combos.

[@abhi8759]

Even you don't mean that.

[@larrytate1657]

He couldn't earn his way to lawler. He'd have to through Hendricks, macdonald, and Woodly. They all are nasty and in front of him. He should say he wants a rematch because Anderson was on the sauce and wants him again off of it and get his left arm fixed first.

[@bsnuser15]

Larry Tate if glestlem went to decision with woodely, i have a good feeling nick would do fine. So woodley wouldnt be a problem

[@BobbyBoonyBrown]

***** 4 or Nick Diaz's losses in the UFC were 9-10 years ago. He's more like 1-3 "officially" in the UFC, but more like 2-2. He's also never been finished in the UFC, which says quite a lot also.

[@klaatubarada6182]

Nick should only fight fighters that are not scared to exchange punches with him. Silva reminded me of Carlos Condit. He fought a safe fight, good for him. But he should NOT fight with Weidman, he'll destroy him and maybe break the other leg. Silva should retire.

[@leetheflea4096]

Nick we've all put together plenty of highlight clips of what you did in that fight. We support you man and we want to see you fight again. Fuck what anyone else says. You got plenty of fans.

[@emgamer2583]

i was rooting for nick but at the end of the day I enjoyed the fight. good job for anderson. classic taunts and a good fight.

[@TheSuperbadkneegrow]

I hope Nick Diaz sees this comment. NICK DIAZ YOU ARE INCREDIBLE! Dont give up. Youre only issue is your style hasnt dramatically changed. Your opponents know what to expect. Switch it up more and you could easily get the belt.

[@MetallicanToronto]

I wish Nick trained at different gyms like Longo's, Tri-star and Jackson's

[@quinnimon]

This is motivational speaking to me.

[@metusbatmanv4399]

Finally got the audio working in another browser. If it turns out he did have bone spurs in his dominant hand that is going to solidify in my mind that Diaz is one of the best.

[@diegoromero4851]

Omg dude! I couldn't wait until this interview was over lol. Fucking dying. Doing squats. I was like Diaz hurry the fudge up. Lol.

[@metusbatmanv2924]

Why is the audio fucked up?

[@ricosavage4281]

NICK DIAZ 2020 THE COMEBACK WILL HAPPEN SOON

[@xxAfricanWarriorxx]

Nick fought well

[@keithpasculli7465]

Diaz is an articulate guy and an excellent fighter; he may have lost this fight but he is no loser. I would like to see him make a run for the title.

[@rayw9656]

GAWD this guy is fucking awesome. Win or lose, he is genuinely entertaining.

[@ssrider7]

Nick You are true Warrior!!

[@brandonborrie687]

nick won that fight.. he pushed the whole time and anderson ran from him pretty much.. but of corse the judges are gonna give it to anderson cuz of who he is.. complete bullshit.. both nick and nathan should have a shit ton of more wins then they do.. judges dont like them they give the fights to everyone else.. both diaz bros are by far two of the best in the sport by far..

[@tomr4785]

Nick won technically at catch weight no more to be said

[@DougglesMagnificent]

+Brandon Borrie yep. nick and nate are the quintessential anti-company men. the only decisions they get are outright landslides. if there's ANY conceivable wiggle room they'll get fucked by the judges...a good 2-3 mins of outstriking their opponent silly gets negated by a takedown with no followup g&p damage

[@jamesturner6949]

I think you are right about their wins being robbed from them but it only made them stronger or pissed off a lot more... a lot of us Americans can relate to the treatment they got from their governing Authority

[@ivanovicl]

Nick got muurked

[@AlexSanchez-sc1xk]

james turner You're right like when nate fought Rda and when he fought henderson,omg total robbery,lol you diaz fans are delusional

[@MRsteezy123]

anderson: is normal diaz: you know.

[@moonwalker251]

i really hope he doesn't leave/ retire AGAIN. how many fights are in his contract?

[@charleswatson332]

What was his trainer saying?

[@Objectiveindividual1]

Nick Diaz is the man in many fans minds. I think he should keep fighting win or lose always get your money's worth when a Diaz is fighting love that street fighting trash talking walk your man down style of fighting. Diaz Vs Lawler 2 would be a fucking pay per view dream for the u.f.c. make us happy u.f.c make it happen.

[@zionroll]

Nick is a living Legend.

[@sauce556]

Unreal that this was his last fight

[@Duffman40323]

Nick your the man

[@chrislavan7574]

are talking about. i love when people that are watching the ufc. n never fought say oh i could take that guy. lol have respect. big up team gracie rousey diaz n 1219 k.a.r. level i see you. look up dada 5000 n watch my man level in back yard fights

[@dracolich345]

Jesus Christ the guy talks so much he makes me forget the question

[@ShiddyShad808]

Diaz needs to do more than just "put his punches together", he needs to evolve his entire game, kicks, elbows, flying knees, and most of all work on his Judo and wrestling takedowns that way he can utilize his excellent jiujitsu, until then people will just continue using the "in and out" blueprint to beat both Nick and Nate.

[@tdogouch1]

dudes a legend

[@highmetalman6]

I totally love and respect Nick Diaz... I've been a TRUE fan of his since he KO'ed Lawler... I'm also a huge advocate of Medical AND personal use of Marijuana.. So I lol'ed REALLY hard at when he called Chris Weidman "Weedman." At 1:13 Fuck Diaz haters....

[@mariasalas9371]

Diaz...is STRONG N AWESOME UFC FIGHTER. I THINK THE MEDIA ALWAYS MAKES HIM LOOK MORE THEN THEY SHOULD...HES STUFF.. DIAZS BROTHERS ROCK...DONT HATE

[@patuswieczniepodejrzani3564]

Damn right bruh

[@kraziemaniak5888]

Nick you are the best!

[@pistolgripjoe]

i love diaz brothers he lost this fight by 3 punches according to punches landed it should of been a draw i think if theres a rematch it will be a better show on both ends but diaz will come out more fired up then ever i hope they give him the rematch

[@jigmeychosang7292]

Let’s go Nick Diaz u are my favourite fighter in the world

[@steveocirinooo8703]

Danm that was some real ass shit. Said I wish I would just fall off so people would stop talking about me.

[@chrislavan7574]

this is why both nate n nick 420 diaz are n always been n will be my favorite fighters. dana white said it best. the diaz boys come to fight. not win on points. no they come n try to finish. n thank you for that fight nick i wish u woulda been 100 percent healthy for that fight. cuz u would've destroyed silva. every one respect diaz. true fighter

[@Steven-mk4gg]

Nick put on an epic performance. Even though I do believe he lost, there is no way it was 50-45. No matter that, Nick showed he still has that heart of a lion, and desire to win. Personally, even though the volume was not up there with some of his other fights, I believe Nick looked the best he has ever looked tonight. I desperately hope he comes back again, and with the rekindled drive he had for this fight. Oh, yea, and he strait clowned Anderson The Spider Silva, then made him like it....what. Wow is all I can say. I love Anderson, he is an amazing fighter, but he looked done. Nick was partially right when he said he felt he won. I mean he won the other fight going on in the cage. The one fans can't really see. The mental war.

[@Malouco]

When Nick Diaz walks into a place people watch him, they want to see how a gladiator walks and talks.

[@Alfa7beta0]

Respect.

[@darkbunglex]

This fight was a lot closer than any of the press expressed. Which goes to my point all along that this was set up for Silver to have a comeback win. Despite the promotion I doubt anyone (including judges) expected Diaz to win. Yes Silver won the fight but not by much. He got a few better strikes in but Diaz was the more aggressive. I personally thought Silver would whip through him but Silver went back to good ol run around boy avoiding the fight like in the old days. When it comes to the scoring it deserved a 48/47 but in reality the score was a 49/46 and even worse the judges gave it a 50/45 which is comical.

[@MrQueerification]

Silva* moron

[@RecTec77]

Who is that Silver guy you're referring to? Long John Silver?

[@Dodi_Gago]

Nick is an AMAZING fighter regardless of what these haters say. He has fought all the greats in the fight game...Lawler, Condit, Penn, St. Pierre, Anderson Silva etc. (All future Hall of Famers). I would really love to see Diaz hit the weights and pack on some muscle. Then maybe change camps (temporarily) to improve on the diversity of his strikes and utilize more kicks and improve his arsenal of striking techniques. If he does these things he will go on a tear in the Welterweight division and see a revitalization of his career, similar to Lawler.

[@SuperCody135]

It was a close fight. The fact that judges gave Anderson all 5 rounds is very confusing.

[@nkaKAMPBELL]

Unless they offer him another GSP fight or something I don't think we'll see Nick for a long time

[@sergioorona3398]

Always a nick and Nate fan! Can't wait to see Nick come back! shit can't wait to see both of them.

[@sergioorona3398]

He's down to earth

[@matthewbanish437]

Diaz and his brother both are true warriors in the cage, they have both proved themselves over the years and have never got the respect they deserve, and when you watch the fight with silva it's very obvious that silva did not want to engage, that's why nick was clowning him, something silva has done many times in his fights, keep hating on them, everyone on here talking **** about them are people sitting on their keyboard talking smack, are just jealous or something, put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!!!!!!

[@anonym58063]

He basically said goodbye.

[@cmacbrown]

2 10 min rounds with a 5 minute overtime round. we would see a lot more finishes and a lot less bad decisions. not saying this was a bad decision, I had silva 3 rounds to 2. but this 5 5 min rounds shit isn't working and isn't exciting. people want to see finishes.

[@dsulli999]

+PLayAshEFF72 easy big hitter

[@PLayAshEFF72]

+Devin Sullivan lela star though

[@keithsa41]

there is a lot of hate for diaz. I was there and i had him winning rounds 1,2 4, & 5. He took the fight to silva who was ducking.. Diaz has always been the bad boy and love his antics. He puts on a show and the vegas fans took it all in. I have no fucken idea what the fucken judges were scoring Judges Glenn Trowbridge and Marcos Rosales gave Silva all five rounds, 45-50 while Sal D'Amato only gave the fourth round to Diaz en route to a 49-46 score for Silva. No way the fight was loopsided in favor of Silva.. Vegas judges have a hard on for diaz. I hope he continues to fight and entertain the fans.. Another thing, how is it that diaz got paid $500,000 pay-out while silva recieved a rumored 6 million payout? (not sure at this time if it is substantied or not for the 6 mil, $600,000 purse to show, win bonus of $200,000, and his pay-per-view points. That is just a rumor at this point which i can't yet verify but if it is true, that is fucken alot for Silva.. ..... simple math for estimated ppv buys for ucf 183 at about 700.000 buys @ $54 (49.99 + 59.99 hd /2) is a gross receipt of 37.8 million...

[@curlyjimshuffle1]

I will buy the next Nick Diaz ppv also.

[@grizzly1371]

I do like Nick Diaz man, he is always an entertaining fighter, very ballsy and will fight whoever whenever. With all that being said and as much as he had done for the sport of mma in his career he just seems to me to always have trouble with top flight competition. If somebody can name to me a real top notch opponent he has won against i'll take my words back. I know he beat Takanori Gomi years ago in pride with a sick go-go but other than that he has always came up short against real elite fighters. I don't think he won this fight against Silva nor do I think he won against Condit like he claims he did but the judges screwed him. I don't know man he just seems like a guy to me that stays in the lime light because of his entertaining ability of running his mouth and being gutsy.

[@earlybird3]

seemed to me Nick Diaz did win that. Be interesting to see what some of the experts have to say in the next few weeks.

[@JoshNbooM]

The 1st round was funny to watch but fuck I got frustrated with this fight I wanted them both exchange more, their tactics seemed to cancel each other silva wanted to counter and diaz didn't open up much because silva was hesitant to move forward the only other times i got excited was when silva threw spinning head kick but damn its a boring fight re-watching it.

[@HookRightGoodnight]

30-27 Weedman

[@6symcgregor]

Did he ever answer a question lol, the guys a beast

[@cristobilllumberg2473]

I think nick is the most talented fighter in the ufc
