So Nick Diaz appeared on ESPN today, and the result was an incredible rant that needs to be seen. If you’ve never watched a Diaz interview before, strap in, it’s going to be a fun ride.
Watch the video of Nick Diaz going nuts on the Youtube player below, followed by the best quotes!
“We are gonna have to sit down and have a look at what the fans want to see. I’m on top of this game right now, there ain’t no giving me a shot, these people get a shot at me. I’m giving somebody a shot, I’m the guy to beat. We’ll see how (Woodley does). He just got the title, he needs a few fights, I’m just over here sitting back, like, I don’t need a fight.”
“There’s no reason for me to come and fight for fun, I don’t like to hurt people for fun. I like Tyron Woodley and Robbie Lawler, so can we talk about a reason why I should be out to get somebody? I’m not interested in fighting Robbie, he just lost, nothing against him but, I mean, that’s just not where I’m heading right now.”
“We need to talk about these things, I’m not here in the media to talk about what I’m gonna do or not gonna do in the media. I’m just saying, I’m just, like, look, you know, I’m not suspended no more and all these guys are saying stuff about me. I’m like, look, what are you guys gonna do for me? I can’t help you. Maybe help yourself first and then we can talk.”
“I don’t see Georges St-Pierre coming back, he’s too scared to fight me, and now I don’t see any superstars. I don’t even wanna say anybody’s name, no one even knows who they are until I say their name and now they know who the guy is.”
“When I fought Georges St-Pierre in Canada, first of all, somebody freaking drugged me. That guy didn’t make weight. The commission comes up to me and tells me he’s not going to make weight, and whether it was a pound or not a pound, it doesn’t matter. In Las Vegas, if the fight had been where it should’ve been, they would’ve not only drug tested us, but there’s no pound allowance so he would’ve had to make his full weight.”
