@ InDICK_TUS……You must be the one who disagrees , cuz you did respond you dummy. Aint nothin I said untrue. And What! you think PPl are suppose to act like diaz in the world ?!? NO, retard, ya know… Im done wit your foolishness .(middle-finger) Oh yeah and @ TRIANGLE BITCH- GO SUCK ON SUM ONE ELSES BALLS CUZ YOU CANT SAY SHIT FOR YOU SELF MOTHERBITCH BITCH MOTHER

NO MORE FIGHTER BASHING…..unless its chael sonnen lol cause he brings it on himself and purposely wants people to think hes a douchebag so more people know him

@Invictis, right on again brother.

@Fighter2580 Your post doesn’t even dignify a response, what are you, 13 years old? “you ppl are fucking retards!!!!Fuck everybody who disagrees! THIS MEANS U IF YOU DESAGREE!!!!” Just wow.

@Nicey I’m not gonna deny that they’re socially inept or that they have trouble forming complete sentences, I’m not that naive, when I watch a Diaz video I’m not exactly thinking “Wow, when Nick retires he’d make a great Sportscenter anchor!”

Yes, they are what they are, but they aren’t “”White trashy thuggish” socially inept famous people. They’re white, and they somewhat portray a thug image, but that’s just how they were raised. If you were raised in a poor part of Stockton, it would be hard to make ANYTHING out of your life, I know I for one probably wouldn’t be where I am today if I grew up in Stockton. And as to the controversial statements they’re making? If you watch the interview above Nick basically explains it himself, he doesn’t feel like he should have to go out there and hype a fight up. I guarantee if he would’ve attended the teleconference and talked a bunch of shit about Noons then he would’ve got a lot less shit than he is now for NOT attending it, just because of who he is.

Like people say, you either hate em or love em — the Diaz brothers are both great fighters, but I also understand why some people dislike them. However, some of these same people are huge Lesnar fans, who has disrespected the sport more in his brief tenure than any other MMA fighter. You don’t see Nick Diaz getting in his opponents faces after beating them, flicking them and the crowd off, and then foaming at the mouth like Brock. Even after a heated fight, Nick will help his opponent up, Brock’s method is more “thuggish” if you want to look at it that way.

you ppl are fucking retards!!! If Diaz was in the nfl , mlb, or nba his ass would be grass for his words and actions of a ten yr old.This is a growing sport that dont need that kid shit from assholes who dont have no brain. Atleast the brainless football players dont act stupid and ghetto like that on tv even though they are from the ghetto. He has a talent and should really thank his blessings that the lord gives him all this to this day Now as far as evrything else goes I love his fightng style and tenasity, but when you start it up with ppl and then try and say he dont deserve a fight, to me that means your scared, or too big headed!. Hes not in th ufc, fuck his record,where is he now ,fighting little guys and so full of himself. Im not a hater, Im not denying he has skill,….just dont talk shit and act like your better than someone when you really have nothing but that belt from a weight class that you shouldnt really be fighting in) and CP fuck those others who threatend your lost of a fan, if I were the site , I would kick em off anyway. Freedom of speech bitches! But not when your Nick Diaz and trying to promote your sport and credibility to it. Fuck everybody who disagrees! THIS MEANS U IF YOU DESAGREE!!! (LOVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH)

Idiots. Look, you can respect the Diaz bros for the fighters that they are. But, when famous people have trouble forming complete sentences, coherent thoughts, any sensibility, make controversial statements, well guess what? People are going to point it out to them how dumb they are! You can’t expect journalists to paint a rosy picture of someone just because you like them. They are what they are – white thug wannabe’s from effing stockton who happen to be elite fighters. CP is basically relaying the persona that they are putting off – white trashy thuggish socially inept famous people.

Not only is Nick a retard so is his fans.

When calling other people “retards,” it’s good to avoid the kind of grammar that most 2nd grade students know is really bad. It makes you look…what’s the word?

I have never really visited this site before but saw the Diaz story via aggregation. Bloodyelbow and mmajunkie don’t stoop to this level. I figured it was another post bashing the Diaz brothers for having a Stockton accent and smoking legalized prescribed marijuana. Boy, I was I right.

This article is a disgrace and reeks of immature name calling and baseless insults to one of the top fighters in MMA currently. This is paragraph after paragraph of calling this guy a pussy and making fun of his personal life. What purpose does this serve in any way to the MMA community or in any newsworthy sense.

I personally have met Nick Diaz several times. He is a level headed, laid back guy, who cares about his friends, families. He is grateful of his fans and just does his own thing most of the time, rides bikes, trains, smokes weed, and jokes around with his friends. He is an extremely hard worker and all around an awesome guy. On top of that he is one of the best in the world and what he does. He has succeeded greatly at what he wanted to do with his life and he stays true to himself. Why anyone has a problem with that just reeks of themselves having deeper insecurity or possibly bigoty/racist issues because of where they live. This is totally unacceptable and reeks of a 14 year old keyboard warrior taking out his own issues by using Nick Diaz to get attention. Grow up.

I guarantee you wouldn’t dare disrespect Nick Diaz in even the slightest bit if you were to see him in person. Your balls would shrink to the size of raisins and you would vomit from fear before you could get out a single syllable of calling him a dumb pussy pothead.

Ah, the Diaz brothers. One of the great polarizing issues of our time.

@ video
journalism is not a form of writing that is in itself an artistic argument. The job of a real journalist is to report the facts. In two days CP posted two different Diaz Bros. attacks. An argument is when you have two people being responsible for the things coming out of their mouths and backing it up with facts, using your website to write shit about people you don’t like is anything but an artistic argument.
I agree with Invictis.
CP to Overeem, “do you use the juice?” Overeem, “no, never.” CP “Supercool”,
Cp to Diaz, “do you smoke pot?” Diaz, “everyday.” CP “Nick and Nate Diaz are pot smoking complainers who won’t give an interview.”
You really think that constitutes an artistic argument? Sign your shit and stand up for your opinions, that’s all.

^^Well said…the only thing you should really be hating CP writers for is that they rarely sign off on their articles, which kinda takes away from their credibility. Its almost as if they dont have the confidence to stand by their work or are afraid of the backlash. Man up!

I wish I had got in on this earlier. First of all, I love the Diaz brothers. I love Cage Potato. Can they co-exist? Fuck yeah and I’ll tell you why because bias journalism(as some have called it here on more than one occasion) doesn’t mean dick. Journalism is a form of writing, which, in itself, is artistic argument; to paint the article in such a way to persuade or influence the reader’s mind. Do I give a shit whether or not CP likes Nick Diaz? Fuck no. But, they’re talking about him which gets others to talk about him, and I appreciate that. It give me something to fuckin do during the day by coming on here and discussing MMA or just to talk shit on the douchebags that think they’re awesome because they can type on a keyboard. I don’t understand why people would come on here and shred a writer, who is just giving his “biased” opinion, and then come to the comments section and give their own biased opinion about CP. There are other ways of looking at the article other than just bias reporting.

With that said, I’ll stick up for Diaz by saying that he is a pothead, which is awesome. Being a hardcore moron( or just someone who doesn’t know how to express his ideas and feelings) and smoking shitloads of weed has not stopped him from being a world champion and from throwing 150 + punches in a single round, which again, is fucking awesome.

Alright, so the CP writers ride the shit out of Overeem’s nuts(look at any article on Overeem on CP in the last 6 months) and hate on the Diaz bros. This is starting to piss me off, if I wanted incredibly biased, anti-diaz articles I would just read Mayhem’s site. Yet instead of giving credit to the natural talent that the Diaz brothers have(“Nick has to run a triathalon just to make WW!”) yeah that’s the only reason he does it…CP shows love for Overeem who juices more than Barry Bonds did in his prime, but makes the Diaz bros look like basically retards.

Yeah, they aren’t very well spoken(I mean shit they hate interviews), but like Joe Rogan said, “Nick Diaz may not be the most socially inept guy in the world but physically that guy is very intelligent. Look at his jui-jitsu and the way he fights, that takes intelligence. Just because he’s not focusing it in other areas of his life doesn’t mean you’re not intelligent. When you’re that good, there’s no doubt you’re very intelligent.”

I’ve been a reader for years, I think it’s time for a new MMA site — I was contemplating it a while ago but this article just put the nail in the coffin. How can anyone even take this site remotely seriously after this.(Except for the delusional MTV fans that love Mayhem)

^ cool

@Drano, yo, Brutha from anutha mutha ( land) looks like we’re gonna have to disagree an this main event as well, I’ll be raising frosty ones at ya before during and after as usual Buddy, enjoy the fights my friend, you can give me shit if Noons wins, but I fucken hate that male model wannabe

Peace out Drano, lookin forward to getting drunk again with you from opposite sides of the globe
——————————————————————————-
aww now my brudda, just hold on a sec, I think diaz is a braindead moron who smokes wayyyy to much weed, BUT I never said I was gonna pick noons to win the fight. I gotta pick Diaz just on all natural brute stupidity and being not smart enough to be afraid of anything. I think Diaz will beat noons ass, give him the finger, and somehow act like hes the best fighter in the world regardless of being on the second string girl squad.
CHEERS to you bro, and a hearty triple aussie to ya. Good on ya.

i seriously cant be the only one laughing at the quantum leap reference in this article. haha

Why is it ok to jump on other fighters(Rampage, BJ, Koscheck, Mir, Lesnar) for shit they do outside of the ring, but as soon as the Brothers McFag get called out, it’s not right?

Biased shit? I think not. People are finally realizing that the Diaz brothers are just douchebags of the highest degree. The Diaz nuthuggers are just surprised that they have more sack skin to hold on to. It’ll pass.

wow, he’s pulling off four eyes w/out glasses

@triangle
took the words right out of my mouth bro, CP is pissin me off with their biased shit. The author is tryin to make you hate the diaz brothers personalitys because theres nothing he can say about their actual fighting skills, which is what i watch fights for. This isnt american fuckin idol, i dont watch guys like anderson silva fight because their such “nice guys” or their real “classy gentlemen” to the media. I watch them bust heads and break bones. what i mean by that is i watch MMA, not The Hills.
and yet again Drano, shut ur mouth u ignorant faggot

@Drano, yo, Brutha from anutha mutha ( land) looks like we’re gonna have to disagree an this main event as well, I’ll be raising frosty ones at ya before during and after as usual Buddy, enjoy the fights my friend, you can give me shit if Noons wins, but I fucken hate that male model wannabe

Once again, Nick’s pensive, thoughtful demeanor gave fans a remarkable insight into the human being behind the fighter’s persona.
Ye, ha may not be the greatest interviewee on the planet, but I love watchin the Diaz boys fight and I enjoy their attitude, it makes me smile, we all know and have met heaps of guys like these boys, good on em I say, stay true bra’s

I agree with the concept of this article. Nick Diaz cannot see that what he does outside of the ring matters. Whether public figures like it or not, they are judged on what they do everywhere. Some things can be forgiven. Others are harder to forgive. I think that in Mixed Martial Arts, the expectation of sportsmanship and respectful demeanor is much higher than other sports, and definitely much higher than in the entertainment industry. I hope Nick Diaz works on his spirit so that he evolves as a human being and becomes a better example to his fans. I also hope that if he damages MMA again with outbursts or being a part of a brawl, that Strikeforce will be smart enough to drop him. Maybe that’s the only way he will begin to get it.

@DARKHORSE06

LOL! Freaking awesome remarks. Cheers to you, sir.

first off, diaz is no doubt, an amazing fighter. Not an amazing person, but that doesn’t matter nor should it. Why is Mayhem worthy of a fight? Well…. look at the other strikeforce ww. Its a bunch of shitty fighters. Mayhem isnt great… but hes better than most of the “shit”. Thats why.

Nick Diaz is the man. He doesn’t get paid to split atoms and shit. He gets paid to beat ass.

Be vewy vewy quiet… homey.

Okay, who let Nate on the Internet?

blimey, blokes who hate Diaz really hate him, even spills over into hating his fans!
If you don’t enjoy watching him fight cos his personality upsets you – you maybe missing out……….. dude is a fuckin warrior and a great showman.

That homie ain’t scared, bitches

@Your Dumb

Best comment in the thread. Cheers.

Who gives a shit about Nick Diaz the person? Nick Diaz the fighter is what matters.

He seems to not want to fight Mayhem because he doesn’t want to give the douche the exposure. Despite people above calling Diaz a pussy, he’s the type of fighter most people want to watch. The same can’t be said about Mayhem whose notoriety is not attributed to his fights.

hey dumbass he’s talking about Shibata not Sakuraba, you noob.

Nick Diaz just may be too real for some of you. Knowing a guy like that exists scares the shit out of you jokers. I bet you like your mma champs like you like the loads that get deposited in your mouth’s…warm.

Haha that’s awesome. In addition, I want to see Diaz try to spell “spaghetti.” In fact, at this point I’d be more interested in seeing a spelling contest between Nick and KJ than a fight. And CP isn’t biased, just honest. The Diaz bro’s are tough, but dumb as rocks.

“Don’t be scared, homie!”

the BEST caption for the picture should be:
A retard says WHAT?

Not only is Nick a retard so is his fans. I guess you must be braindead to join his band of merry fuckheads.

See the above morons who cannot even use this message board correctly. yeah you know who you are.

Nick’s one of my favorite fighters. Love him or hate him, he’s damn good at what he does. I think he’ll beat Noons.

what valid points did he make?

- he made a bunch of excuses as to why he lost to a lightweight.
-he somehow thinks that because he landed a bunch of love taps and took Noons down once he was winning the fight even though he was the one who got dropped and bloodied.
-his entire recollection of the Noons fight is nowhere close to being what actually happened in the fight.
-he says Miller loses alot even though he’s 7-2-1 in his last ten fights and Diaz is 8-1-1 and Miller has a better overall record.
- he says Miller fights easy opponents when Diaz is the one fighting Thomas Denny, Scott Smith, and a couple of lightweights.

everything he said was the opposite of a valid point.

Shame on Cage Potato for making fun of the legally retarded!

Don’t you know they speak a different dialect of the Queen’s English in the distant forest outpost of Stockton? They have indubitably been influenced by the native population they were sent to repress. I’ve even heard scandalous reports of interbreeding.

@pooligun

The Mayhem fight wouldn’t be for the WW title. There’s no way Mayhem could make WW now. It would be because Diaz and his retarded brother and teammates jumped Mayhem on national television, and it would make Strikeforce a whole butt load of crap full of money. Are you retart?

Dudes, how did you guys score some of the same shit Diaz is smoking? Pass it around!

Hahaha, I am the only person who wants to hear Diaz try to pronounce “Spaghetti”?

Respectable? Diaz Bros.? Are we in Bizarro World?

You mean like how Nate tried to clown Marcus Davis only for Marcus to retort with a left hook to the skull? Lay off the loco weed Nick.

I could be wrong, but I get the sense that Diaz is referring more to Miller’s fight with Shibata than his recent one with Sakuraba.

In journalism school you can get kicked out for writing this kind of biased sh*t. Diaz makes some valid points, but you’re just intent on writing him into the ground.

and a better caption for the above photo would be “What the fuck did I just say?”

I talked to Nick once about interviews and junk while we were at dinner. He said he couldn’t just sit down and talk to some journalist/reporter/etc. they way we were just sitting down and hanging out because he didn’t see the point. He said he’ll only do interviews during training or immediately afterward because if he’s not talking about training, he doesn’t understand what else they’d talk about. He doesn’t get why people want his opinion on things instead of just wanting to see him fight.

The worst is the fact that Diaz accuses Miller of being a MW and does not want to fight that heavy. Diaz is so tall and lanky and needs to run marathons in order to skinny up enough to make WW is going to fight a natural LW(Noons) who has to add fat just to make 170lb.
Diaz does not need to put a belt on the line against Miller he can have a catch weight fight that would have higher rating than a Diaz title fight.

what in the hell is with diazs nose. it looks like he took the nose part off of those goofy ass glasses and glued it to his face. whats awesome is he really is as dumb as he looks. i hate this motherfucker almost as much as i hate cock fuckner.

well said triangle!
also why do we not see the author name on these stories?
own up to your bias shit please.

@ hooligun, right on bro

Why the hate CP?
Diaz makes valid points – Miller does not qualify to challenge for the WW strap just because he failed to win the MW one. And fighting Sak in Japan was pointless and a little pathetic.
Nick Diaz is one of the most popular fighters in the world because of the way he fights. Certainly the way he is outside of the ring courts controversy but who ever wrote this piece for CP is coming across as a lame hater looking for ways to knock the man that just don’t exist.

the only things that is clear here is that Cagepotato has a HUGE beef with the Diaz bros, and are using the site to influence the way fans think about them. They may not be the people you want as neighbors, but you know what? They both fight because they love it, and they both show up for fights and do there job. They are the blue collar guys of the fight game right now. I love them for that. I think you should look at the fights and their willingness to train and take fights that come there way and say, hey these guys are true fighters, not just some dick heads sitting around in a button down shirt wishing they were tough. These boys are brawlers, so what if you don’t like the way they conduct themselves, at least they’re not in a jail cell blogging about their life. Jesus cut them a bit of slack. You are going to loose me as a fan of this site if you keep this up.

Maybe we should wait till after the Noons fight before we decide whether or not he is a pussy.

He’s a dumb giant pussy.

This man is either legally retarded or a giant pussy. Those are the only two options left. Mayhem’s not good enough to be in the same ring as Diaz now? Hey Moron! You sandwiched a fight with a washed up, ring-rusted Frank Shamrock in between fights with Scott Smith and Thomas Denny. Thomas Freaking Denny! Mayhem would beat all three of those guys but he’s somehow not good enough to fight you? So, like I said earlier, the man’s either very very dumb or a giant pussy.

I will give you that Nick isn’t easy to understand, both when he talks and when you then have to decipher what he says, but you guys misquoted him here.

The actual quote: “He only got knocked out one time by one important guy that’s not important.”

In other words: KJ got knocked out by Krazy Horse, who was at the time “important”, but is no longer “important” at this time. You can replace important with relevant, if you want.

I’ll have what he’s having.
