@BananaPancakes

Don't get frustrated. I'll look past your mediocre points next time, and engage you. No, but seriously...I'm all for grown up discussions. And for the record...no penis envy.

@ReX13

You're right he hasn't devolved as low as UFC FAN. That's relatively difficult and requires years of social rejection as well as penis envy. I actually have spent some time trying to figure out what makes a peon like UFC FAN tick... to no avail. By the way I love banana pancakes, but I don't listen to Jack Johnson. My beef with T_Durden is that he takes a condescending tone and from my reading of his comments, indeed, does make ad hominem attacks. For example on the post about Kimbo and Dana I attempted to engage him in a reasonable discussion and he responds that my posts are mediocre. I try to use the same rules on a internet forum as I would in real life. Be respectful and reasonable and if someone wants to step on my toes, challenge them to a sparring match.
Whatever though I can forget about T_Durdens post, it's just frustrating to see a bunch of smart and informed MMA fans acting like the little kids on Sherdog. Anyway, no more ad hominem attacks from me. Thanks for the feedback.

This post should win a CP Shirt for most times the phrase AD HOMINEM was used on a mixed martial arts blog. What the hell!?!

1. Ariel Helwani is an amazing interviewer.

2. Is Nick Diaz' face pregnant?

Haha...I've read some of UFC Fan's posts...pretty vanilla I thought. Don't see the parallels but it's always nice to feel like you belong somewhere, even if it's through the use of ad hominen attacks.

@BananaPancakes

I feel betrayed! I think I even backed you up somewhere a few days ago, or maybe I disagreed with you somewhere, which would explain this post from you, but I clearly remember thinking "Banana Pancakes? as in the fruity song by Jack Johnson? Wow." Anyway, read up on what an ad hominen attack is. I was trying to keep the argument on point. I did call the one guy a clown, but in return offered him a mulligan for his dumb post. Pretty fair trade I thought.

And your "condescending, negative prick" comment is closer to what an ad hominen attack would be. You're offering to spar a guy from a forum? What's wrong with you? I'm not falling for it...I've heard of you San Fran guys, next think I know, a Peruvian neck-tie turns to you asking me to let you blow me.

BananaPancakes>>

C'mon man, UFC Fan? Isn't that a tad bit harsh? Durden seems to be staying AWAY from ad hominem attacks, unlike some of the people trying to gang up on him. I'm not picking sides, and i'm not saying Durden's argument kung fu is greater, i'm just saying trying to dub him the new ultimate douche may be going too far.

Look, you're a fan of Jack Johnson. He's a fan of Chuck Palahniuk and/or David Fincher. OF COURSE you two are gonna disagree about stuff. But dammit, we are the Potato Nation, and most of us can be civil. Can't we all just get along?

I don't know, man, fuck. Whatever.

@T_Durden

You are smart enough but your ad hominem attacks make your our new.... UFC FAN. Congrats, you condescending negative prick. Oh yeah I'm in San Francisco if you ever want to set up a sparring match. Let's make it happen.

This fight will be badass. Nick Diaz is hilarious. I hope he fucks up Zaromskis.

I agree with T_Durden.. anxiety..lol

he is peril/paranoid and probably has a serious case of the munchies.. he is probably looking at a snack machine behind the camera and watching everyone else stealing all the primo junk.

All his arguments are partially retarded.

He talks about how it is in the real world. Let me tell you Nick in the real world when a powerful guy picks up a taller scrawny fighter and slams him to the ground he probably will never fight again. I know I slammed a dude on the mats.. he never fought again... fortunately besides the recurring back pains.. he can still walk.
In the real world slams finish fights, that is why they have value in the cage.

Pitter patter in the real world doesn't finish fights and should be worth squat. He even stated my brother wasn't stupid he wasn't trying to finish the fight he was just trying to touch him more.

Like you Nick your brother smoked himself stupid and is moving up to welterweight to get KTFO.. can't wait.. I would love to see Thiago Alves destroy him.

As for the majority defending him it is all a case of wanting him on the cover of High Times. Strikeforce really dropped the ball.. putting him as the main event.. what does that say to everyone around the globe. Doesn't matter if you cheat we support you. Weed is cheating as much as pain killers are, and any other product that is banned for illegal use.

I had one pot head try to convince me that cocaine was cheating but weed wasn't. One gets you hyped and another helps with pain and relaxation.. duhhh.. if you feel no pain.. how many times do you get punched in the face before the tree falls in the forest.

Ariel deserves a Pulitzer for this interview, or at least one of those shiny medals like a cross for heroes in battle.

@superflat

His point was that wrestlers get on top and don't do any damage yet still score points. He thinks that the rules unfairly benefit wrestlers, and in a fight simply taking someone down is about as threatening as some of the punches that Diaz throws.

This is a work of art. I want to set this to music.

Diaz's performance is brilliant, intentional or no. I like how he starts off super grumpy and contrarian but gradually as conversation turns to topics he's obviously interested in he opens up and gets more animated and we start to see what's probably the real Diaz.

Also can I say Helwani is awesome? Dude needs an award for how fucking pro he is.

It happens everytime! You eat some mushrooms, go for a walk, and just when they start to kick in some dude runs up to you with a microphone and starts asking you all these questions! Same thing at Denny's: what kind of juice do you want, how would you like your eggs cooked? I DON'T KNOW! LEEMEE ALONE!!!

@intercept440, comedy

"man you kno i dont kno you kno, i mean you kno? heh you kno wat i mean i dont kno watever you kno?" if i didnt kno any better id say that nick diaz uses drugs...

@ BirdMan

In the drug commercial...its a chick, but whatever. don't mean to nit pick. And id totally do her.

First off people i dont think he is high... to me he seems nervous as fuck.... nervous as in : " shit man, i just sold a half pound of chronic to that dude over there and he aint gone , and now im blindisided by this fucking tool helwani...."

*looks over his shoulder for the umpteenth time* "fuck that dude is still there , muther fucker probabaly a cop, how the fuck do i get helwani off my ass so i can get the fuck out of here"..........

*looks over his shoulder again* (thinking to himself God dammint helwani shut the fuck up or i will tear your cock off and feed it to you) but actually says " uhh yea man i dont know ya know .. i dont know ....fuck man...

thinking to himself : i gots to get the fuck out of here

@Petro

Ahhh....well done. An early contender for comment of the week. Your lack of wit, and maturity level is classic. Spoken like a true Nick Diaz fan!

In the words of Thurgood Jenkins, "Man you done smoked yourself retarded!"

I think you're quite the faggot T_Durden.

@Doaulas

Lol...I think he means the radio interview the Big John did recently. But notice how he turns to the plant for the answer...that plant really was f'ing with his mind throughout the interview.

@Miles

Out of everything you felt the need to defend marijuana use as opposed to what in your eyes might a 'more' dangerous drug? That's irrelevant. You're a clown. Take a mulligan...I'll act like you never posted that.

The use or abuse of marijuana compared to any other drug was never part of my comment. How about you stop piggy backing on JLM's comments and bring up an original valid point that we can discuss? That way I can show you what 'working' someone really is.

"THE JOHN MCARTHY SHOW" ? wtf is he talking about

@LJM aka Nick'sNutHugger

Come ooon....you really think I meant that literally?? I myself have experience with facilities for the cognitive challenged, so I totally agree that Nick is not a 'functioning retard'. Haha...c'mon buddy. Don't play dumb.

And as far as drug abuse...here's a definition for you:
"Drug Abuse: The use of a drug (either licit or illicit) in sufficient quantity and frequency to interfere with a person’s ability to make sound life decisions, perform appropriate actions, and fulfill responsibilities"

An example of that would be a fighter who is unable to clean up his act long enough to pass a piss test...(e.g. Nick Diaz.) Drug legalization aside, this guy's a screw up. Smoking talent and potential away, under the excuse of treating anxiety. Do a quick search on Marijuana as an anxiety treatment. Any substance abuse expert will tell you that doing so is merely a stop gap, and long term effects of it to treat anxiety can actually be adverse. Resetting the threshold in the brain, specifically the amygdala, to trigger panic, and anxiety attacks at a more 'accessible' level.

And don't give me the 'many other sports heroes' argument. We're not discussing anyone else. If you're going to jump in the deep end, and argue with someone then stick to one point and discuss it like an adult. Don't sit back throwing blanket statements banking on the Nick lovers to back you up.

Nick always bitches about never getting the recognition or glory the way certain other fighters do! no shit, if you had a chance to interview gsp or diaz who would you pick? serra or diaz? shit Fedor gives a better interview.

He claims its catching up to him as tho its only the fight game itself which has worn away his body over the years, lol Wake up Nick and put down the pipe/dube
hot knives or whatever method you use and when you are finally thinking clearly you will see that it was in fact you're love of weed that was wearing you down the most, then you might actually try to make an interview work in you're favour instead of looking like the pot-head fighter that you currently are who nobody wants to interview because you're boring as hell to listen to.

P.S good luck this sat...lol

Diaz is a great fighter...i think most MMA fans give him that...He is just a little weird and a loose cannon...Reminds me of TROY......Achilles!!!
Where the fuck is Nick? is he in his tent with Wesley Pipes?

los Hated ... That was comedy! Well done, sir.

And Ariel's schnauzer isn't THAT big (SILENCE). I mean, it's big but not that big. (MORE SILENCE) Alright, you got me. That's the biggest shnauzer I've ever seen. Mozoltav!

Regardless of the fact that Nick cannot speak very well especially on camera, he is a very talented and skilled athlete who should be respected for his hard work and dedication.

War Diaz, fuck everyone else.

Lol LJM just keeps completely working T_Durden.

T_Durden: the rest of your stupid arguements aside, this one jumped out at me. abusing drugs? Who the fuck cares if someone smokes marijuana? You should be more worried about the legal drug, alcohol, which actually kills people and causes violent behavior.

As for the interview, Nick's usually more on point. I found myself disagreeing with a lot of the stuff he said this time, he really didn't think a lot of that through.. but I'm still a fan.

@hyperfocal definitely think you're on to something there. Fighting is his job, I don't think he really enjoys it. Just look at the way he has to make himself hate his opponent just to get motivated

Dana White - Nick, so you think you can take GSP?

Nick Diaz- You know. . . I don't know, you know? Whatever, man, fuck.

Dana White - Heard you talking shit...

Nick Diaz- You know. . . I don't know, you know? Whatever, man, fuck.

Dana White-Are you fukin HIGH right now?

Nick Diaz- You know. . . I don't know, you know? Whatever, man, fuck.

Dana White- Just for shits...doesnt Ariel Helwani have a big Nose?

Nick Diaz- You know. . . I don't know, you know? Whatever, man, fuck.

Diaz up, bitchasses down!

WAR DIAZ!!!

Ya know!

You know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know You know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know You know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know You know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know You know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know you know
206 times in a 10 minute interview

t_durden, You have zero evidence to support your assertion that Nick has "abused" drugs. He uses marijuana. But use doesn't equal abuse. We know of many sports heroes who did abuse drugs (specifically alcohol), but they weren't judged for it because, even though alcohol is a much more destructive and dangerous drug, it's politically correct.

And like your unclear original communication where "most people" magically equals "some people, you know which kind," it's not my fault you chose to waste 2 minutes responding to me. You should learn to take responsibility for your actions.

Well, I'm having trouble posting a response and editing it, but I'll try again in small steps.

t_durden, So "most people" doesn't mean "most people," it means "members of the press, or reporters whose jobs entail having an opinion on some of these fighters." And by "anyone on this site," do you mean "people who agree with me?"

I've actually worked for years with "functioning retards," and Nick doesn't come off as one. He comes off as a guy who doesn't like at all to talk about his sport in a public forum, and who becomes very anxious when he's forced to do so. That's all. It's no big deal.

@ T_Durden

You have an issue with Nick supporting drug use? Well let me ask you this - are you a professional fighter? Do you have to deal with injuries sustained throughout training and fighting?

Nick using marijuana for pain relief instead of pharmaceutical painkillers is not what you'd call an advocacy for drug use. If it works for him, then he's really choosing the lesser of two evils (see: Karo Perisyan).

And yes, we all know Nick wasn't blessed with the gift of articulation, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he's a brilliant fighter. He became a brilliant fighter through positive qualities such as hard work and dedication - something he's shown in and out of the ring. The fact that you can't get over the fact that he does shitty interviews puts you in the category you refer to as "most people" - not people in "our" demographic.

@LJM

Do I really have to break my statement down in detail so that you can understand it? Ok, I'll play...by 'most people', anyone on this site would understand that I mean most outsiders that have in one way or another access to our demographic. Meaning members of the press, or reporters whose jobs entail having an opinion on some of these fighters, not bc they're mma reporters specifically but just sports in general. There's a long way between sounding like Bas, and sounding like a functioning retard.

Would you say that your boy Nick's blatant stupidity and his continued and publicized drug abuse helps or hinders the public's perception of MMA fighters? The answer is clear, and subsequently my original point is correct. So thanks for wasting the 2 minutes it took me to type this by letting your blind loyalty for a fighter, make you ignore obvious facts. He's an idiot, so keep defending him at the risk of you looking like an idiot as well.

Since UFC Fan hasn't already, allow me...

"That is one stupid nig.. What? He's not black? Hmmm, this is awkward."

it just shows how stupid some of you people are for reacting to nicks demeanor in such a pissed off way. a bunch of close minded fucks

T_Durden, do you really think that "most people" have seen a Nick Diaz interview? And do you really think that "most people" think that "ALL MMA fighters are fighters are brainless, stuttering, felons-in-the-making?"

He didn't talk trash about anyone, he just didn't speak clearly, because he's a professional fighter, not a professional speaker. And he obviously doesn't enjoy talking about the sport. Nothing wrong with that. Not everyone can be Bas Rutten.

Nick will go away when he loses more than he wins. That's how sports works.

@ksgbobo, If you do happen to run across them, could you please make sure you have someone video your attempts to curb stomp them? That would be a terrible and hilarious thing to see.

Dunno, looks more to me that Diaz just likes talking about triathlons more than he likes talking about fighting. As soon as the topic turns to runswimbiking, his entire demeanor changes; he's more engaged, animated and much more coherent.

I'll bet you a shiny new nickel that if he thought he could make as good a living with the triathalon as he does fighting, he'd never step in the cage again. And from that point of view, his recent pre-fight problems make a lot more sense... Hell, even his weird responses on judging and winning criteria make a bit more sense -- he just likes sports where the winner is the first guy across the line. No scores, no judging, no decisions... just cross the line faster than the other guys.

Why does a guy smashing an egg with a frying pan come to mind everytime i watch this?

Diaz has an anxiety problem. It's easily recognizable by anyone who suffers from it. You'll notice that he's more comfortable and coherent at the end of interview as his comfort level rises and he's feeling less anxious.
He can't deal with things outside of his comfort zone.

Yeah, he's a pothead and not a rocket scientist by any means, but the guy has a serious anxiety problem so cut him some slack.

Wow...that all seemed like a bad comedy skit. This fool is the reason most people think ALL mma fighters are brainless, stuttering, felons-in-the-making.

He's so high, he swears that plant behind him is about to sucker punch him. He looked over his shoulder a hundred times.

Looking forward to Marius putting his shin through Nick's face. Also, what we didn't see once the cameras were off, was Nick offering Ariel 100 bucks for a bag of clean piss. Go away Nick Diaz...just go away.

@ big jumpin dad

it's from Billy Madison

looooool a 12 min interview?!!

hahah

diaz=another failed drug test

Dennis Miller does not have shit on Nick's rants. Nick's rants make Dennis Miller look like Taylor Swift after Kanye stole the mic from her.

Ok, so I was... curious, you know, and I... you know, counted the number of times he said, "you know".

Can I have a, you know... drum roll? Ok, there are 115 utterances of "you know" from Nick in that 12 minute, 45 second video clip.

Just saying, you know. Whatever. Cos, you know, it doesn't matter if you're coherent, you know. I don't know. You know?

HOLY FUCK!! @ 5:25 did Nick Diaz just SMILE? Where's the ever-present mean mug Nick?

I WISH you could overdose on weed. This blubbering idiot cannot form a sentence to save his life.

Damn.. Diaz is one of my 5 favorite fighters, but some of this shit doesn't make sense. Decisions on who looks more fucked up? If I recall, Diaz was always cut up so bad that he got scar tissue removed and the bones around his eyes trimmed down to prevent future cuts. That's a little counter intuitive because of Nick comes out looking much worse for the wear in his fights.

-My first comment ever on CP... I've been a reader since Dec 2007 though. Just finally got around to joining. Hope to comment often!

He's paranoid for real in this interview, I'm guessing he just ripped a bong forgetting he agreed to an interview.
"I'm pretty trained up so that enhances my sense of security"

@Cage Potato
if you set up an interview for Elias Cepeda to interview Nick Diaz i will never make fun of him again. Or at least for the duration of the interview.

"...he won some fights i guess you know, so i mean, you never know, I don't know, you know?"

hhahah how can so many people be such pussies about how he acts and what he says? hes a real dude what more can you ask for

@ Danomite

What movie is that from?? Its on the tip of my tongue but i cant think of it

he's been off the pot for a week now, cut the guy some slack. talk to him after his post fight blunt ritual and see who's the dummy.....

LOL @ Danomite...that was classic!

"Something tells me he doesn't think these statements all the way through."

One of those somethings is here, right after he says, "Even if you tapped the guy out but got your ass beat, you still got your ass beat," you can see him realize what his statement sounds like, so he tries to retreat by mumbling something like "submissions are still important my brother is fuckin' cool i don't know whatevermanfuck". It's entertaining.

Meh I like him haha. He's always interesting to listen to, always gives me a good laugh, and I love how over-confident and crazy him and his brother are. Keep it goin! Although I dont know if he'll win this upcoming fight.

Considering how easily Nick gets cut, the "who looks more fucked up" criteria wouldn't work too much in his favor. Something tells me he doesn't think these statements all the way through.

"You know. . . I don't know, you know? Whatever, man, fuck."


On the other hand, there have been some controversial decisions in MMA lately. I think this Diaz character may have shined a light on a subject that hasn't been discussed much. And who is this John McCarthy character he mentions? Would he know anything about MMA history and judging?

What we need here is some investigative journalism. Or an interview/photo spread with a Hot Potato. Whatever dude, fuck, i don't know.

diaz has a huge cut on his right eyebrow....does he normaly have that?

he's high.

Between this and the Lawler interview Ariel really earned his money this weekend...

I like the tapout comment. Let's ponder a hypothetical Nick: You tap, and the guy choking you doesn't stop. Sure he has a black eye, but where does that leave you?

:D

Mr. Diaz, what you've just said... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

"You know?"

Puff, puff, pass mothafuckas!

Diaz squared in 2012! Nick for President and Nate for Vice. The United States would be as unstoppable as Brock's new colon.

@cecils_pupils sorry i'm in class and couldn't come up with something clever to write

Stoked for this fight.

I would also like to see the little dog with the fluffy tail that is running around in the background distracting this stoner throughout the video. Points to Helwani for being patient while Diaz gaps out

I hope its Cro Cop vs Silva type head kick...you know...where Silva's head touched his shoulder...that kind of getting KTFO'd type head kick...be awesome!

take another hit Nick

Man, yesterday I got blasted for being THAT guy who wrote first. But, AL_14, I give you props for being first. Next time just include something worthwhile in your post. :)

I can't wait to watch Zaromskis pick apart Diaz. I hope finishes him with another highlight reel head kick!

This just goes to show that the Diaz brothers are fucking idiots! Man, I hate those guys. I hope I run across them one day so I could curb stomp them!

First
