It's amazing how if you talk about what Nick (even Nate) truly have a passion for they get all warm and fuzzy inside and gush about it. The talk of his friend Paul beating him in racing is evident of this. I think Nick deep down inside hates fighting which is why he seems so upset or out of it talking about it.

This has become legendary, already 10 years ago damn... Nick is a legend and I hope he's not done yet.

I've watched a lot of Nick's interviews, he never smiles or seems happy in anyway shape or form. However when Ariel mentioned triathlons, Diaz suddenly switched moods, his eyes lit up, he smiled (a rare sight indeed) and actually told a decent story. Did anyone else notice that? I honestly feel Nick's heart truly lies with his triathlons, he just no motivation for MMA anymore. When he went MIA before the press conference, he was coming back from a triathlon too.

Gotta love Nick!!! He is a fucking legend. Always angry and unsatisfated with everything, no matter if he wins or loses. A true warrior and just wanna give a side not for my motherfucking brother Nick Diaz. He really seems to dislike fighting for real. As Cesar Gracie would say: "He fights to survive, not because he likes it." It makes sense when you see him here talking all angry about fighting, but we get to notice his real passion - TRIATHLON! He really loves that high endurance shit, that's why he's got that 'never give up' mentality. You can see that he is all happy and smiles when he talks about Triathlon. He should stick to that, but give us, his hardcore fans a couple more wars in the Octagon to cement his legacy forever!

Nikola, You said it perfect! I couldn’t have said it any better. I think Dana hesitated signing Nick because he and his brother speak their minds and are brash. That’s what makes a real man . They stand on their own merits. It’s so funny that neither Nick or Nate have ever taken a “ fighting nickname “. I like both because they only get stronger as the fight goes on and they always thank their team!

Anyone who knows fighting knows Nick is a Champion

I noticed how Nick was all interested when Ariel mentioned a triathlon.

lool i love how nick's whole facial expression changed when he starts talking about his triaphelons

Right from one fan from the UK who has been around since UFC1. Come on Dana start looking after the diaz brothers man. For sure they have been looking after you for years.

Nick's face lit up the second Ariel mentioned triathlon. Seems like it's something he really loves to do. Almost seems to love it more than MMA.

This guy is so awesome. I just do not know how people can not like this guy, lol.

I love how Nick never answer the question Ariel actually asks.

not everyone is comfortable with a camera shoved in their face being asked questions... people blaming weed on Diaz's "on camera personality" are plain ignorant.

by far my favorite fighter lol come back nick. mma isnt the same anymore.

I feel kinda bad for Nick. He almost never smiles, but when they talked about the triathlon suddenly his face lit up. One of his interviews he said if he could make enough money doing triathlons as fighting, he'd do that.

I love how Nick perks up when talking about his triathlons....his friend passing him lol. He goes from being overwhelmed and frustrated to smiling and happy. It makes me upset knowing how hard Nick is working in the gym right now, he doesn’t want to disappoint anyone, but then Dana made that disrespectful comment about him. I just want Nick to be happy tbh.Fuck the ufc.

"I got people out to get me..." -Nick Diaz

His personality just changes whenever the triathalon is mentioned

"Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you"

Nick Diaz is the MOST misunderstood guy on the planet. His fight with Condit was a tough one. I personally called it a draw it was very evenly matched

gotta love Diaz interviews... he keeps looking around like at minutes someone is going to jump out of the shadows and attack him.

I like how Nick opens up as soon as Ariel mentions the triathlon. He loves doing those things

i'm always entertained by this guy, whether it be his fights or interviews

He tries to kick me in my leg...that's not a fair fight! Classic ...

Hahahhaha best bit

Seems like a good guy. I watch a lot of these videos, but I'm no expert. But this guy has to be one of, if not THE toughest out there. But not a mean personality, and very forthright about how he felt losing a bike race (hey, c'mon, Nick, don't beat yourself up for THAT!) . It seems like he feels he's being used, though, and I'm sure he IS - it's the nature of professional fighting- just set em' up for the bucks. I realize the timing of matchups can be critical and tricky, but ALL fighters are human beings, and need time to rest up and recuperate, and be with friends and family.

Nick is really passionate about everything he says I love that dude. Would be hella funny though if someone made a cartoon animation where he's literally fighting blind opponents and him saying that lol

Nick is awesome!! I love how he keeps hearing voices in his head and looks around for them :) seriously though, a great fighter!!!

I always diss Nick Diaz, but I have to admit, this guy is on a mission! That was an awesome fight with Paul Daley.

I love watching Nick Diaz interviews. Dude's so off the wall it's scary.

this guy is an absolute warrior and ass kicker...one of the p4p best fighters..the guy always brings it.

I don't think I'd get along with him, but I give him props for being who he is regardless of the political rules. And for winning exciting fights, which is all that really should matter. Too many fighters try too hard to be "ideal" professionals, and it gets boring. If you don't like him, try to beat him. Till then, he's the champ and can behave how he wants.

@cooldoodleofastorp i might be wrong but it might be cause when the fight ended nick shoved a camera over so it would film how daley couldnt get up and also you can see a close up of daley and nicks finger pointing at daleys face only a few inches away and i think some of the security pulled him away

To Live is to Suffer yeah I just found it...you got that right

Diaz is a hilarious interview, obviously Helwani will keep interviewing him

i think he's trying to say he got fucked up in the leg in his last fight, and they made him fight again so soon. Not enough time to recover fully. So he thinks there trying to set him up to lose. All in all, he has great mma I.Q. and he makes more money than most of us, accomplished more than most of us. On top of that he's socially awkward which makes him an even badder and crazier character. Now he's what i call a fighter.

We need.one more from Nick I'd.love to see it

@Jaremus Not only GSP's takedowns are a problem, GSP's cardio and his methodical striking are more threats. I hope we see title unification bouts later this year; I mean, when Pride got bought out, they went through it so I hope Strikeforce does the same.

he called him Nate at the end :))

nice to see his mood swings when ariel asks him about the triathlon

@2:46 did Nick just say "indecisiveness?" Wow... that's a big word for him lol.

say what you want about the diaz bros they come to fight and to entertain you any real person could respect that about anybody

Sorry for the long messages I just wanted to get my whole point across so we didn't end up in an argument as most people on youtube decide to argue about everything. I'm one of the few honest ones. The #1 thing you must ask yourself before smoking weed is: Is it worth the risk? For me it was as I was depressed. Guess what? After about a month of daily use my depression was gone. It did trigger panic attacks though sometimes. Then I got check up and my heart was fine so now i'm good to go. Peace!

Not only a Great MMA fighter, but a true martial artist. That's why, IMO, he never seems happy when he talks about his matches. It's not traditional, but it made him rich. Martial Arts are for self defense. I'm sure he struggles with that. Obligated to make that money, cuz he comes from the streets tho. But look how he turned into a happy kid, when Triathlon came up!!! You couldn't wipe thar smile off.

lov watchn nick!!!!

@BlariX Yeah I made a mistake and I corrected it. He's fought twice this year, 3 times last year and twice in 09! That's literally the workload of a mid-tier UFC fighter. He'll probably fight only once more this year whether it be in boxing or MMA.

He definitely suffer from social anxiety he is always looking around for whatever reason.

@Themuffinman5466 true seems like a really nice guy as soon as he talks about it.. its as if he has much more passion for it or something

he go all happy when they started talking about triathlon lol

@Jaremus A question I'm curious about is if somehow Shield wins the welterweight belt ( I'm giving Shields a very slim benefit of the doubt here), will Diaz clamor for a unification title shot? However, I'm predicting that GSP and Diaz will have an epic showdown to determine the best welterweight in the world.

@HBKCommish He said in another interview somewhere he said if he could make money doing triathlons he would give up MMA in a heartbeat.

diaz with another awesome interview :)

When Nate puts McGregor away,and wins the Trilogy, The payday will make the Entire Diaz family kind of rich.

Nick Diaz has to be one of the all time hardest fighters to interview! Probley after James Tony.

@MmaNcovers yeah mma junkie dot com has a story up saying nothing is going to come of it...i think it was like a "heat of the battle" type thing

ive watched this interview a few times its interesting lol i think hes a good dude.

@Jaremus Nick Diaz was in the UFC, got into an altercation with Joe Riggs after a fight, then he chose to leave the UFC to fight for his coach's attempt at a fight promotion; that promotion failed and Diaz went to Elite XC, then Strikeforce. Dana White was very dismissive of bringing Diaz back to the UFC after that whole fiasco where the Diaz brothers, Melendez, and Shields jumped Jason Miller. However, times has changed so Diaz could come back.

@riceburner888 I know he was in the UFC. I remember his transition from mainly BJJ to a complete fighter. His fight with Robbie Lawler that shocked everyone. Basically you said the same thing. They were hesitant to bring him back because he's unstable. Not because they don't like him.

@ironman145614 2-3 times a year is overworked?

It doesn't cause paranoia, it can cause paranoia after long term use and it is rare.

he born to fight he leave to fight he fight to live

im a fan of diaz was waitin long ass time for that gsp fight, funny thing is he even says here "im not goin be the one backing out these fights" infact he did

Great fight, good stoppage, Paul had to get help just to stand up.

Ariel was thinking WTF

Ariel needs to start doing these Diaz interviews with a translator.

Nick Diaz deserves more respect - hes a warrior and glad he won. A hard worker and very athletic - a fighter true to the bone. Well done Nick - dont beat yourself up dude.

@WorldWideMMAFights u r right

General rule of thumbs up please so we get the facts right. Nick Diaz is from Stockton California. Watch it on KZread this is the getho. Look on NickDiaz209 channel on KZread it's nicks channel. You will see street fight and crazy shit like that. Nick is a real fighter, when he fight he is on a real fight in his mind. He is also an athlete and work hard but he is from a place where it's tough so don't think he get punched too much he is just like a tiger in a jungle.

he got all happy when they talked about the triathlon lol.

Diaz and James Toney could be best buds seems like they have something in common

@felixpenzarella He was talking about after the fight when he went over to Daley and kinda got in his face. He even said it was for something in the ring.

@riceburner888 The big difference being- Pride ceased to exist, so they had to unify titles, having two champions for each division. That does not neccesarily have to be the case with Strikeforce. I agree with you about GSP's striking (cardio too, but that's obvious that I do). I saw one of Shields older fights and he looked really bad with his stand up. I think St.Pierre will easily pick him apart standing.

Nick Diaz fight was so entertaining lmao love watching his fights, he is crazy but seems like good ppl

1:18-1:20 watch how quickly his mood changes

See that's the thing Nick: I DON'T know.

he never looks people in the eye when he talks to them

Could you ever imagine being this awesome? LMAO

@chronicas420 Its because he is different and not like others that people hate him. I been cheering for the diaz brothers since day one, and i would be talking trash like that too if i felt i was always against everyone. He is a great all alround fight and has taken every shot they throw at him. And i seriously think people underestimate his chin big time!

@killa9241 i think he was suggesting Daley was trying to capitalize on an injury Diaz sustained in his last fight, which wasn't that long ago. Ties into the notion that they are making him fight too often. at least, that's what i can make from it...he knows...the guy is pretty far out there.

The reason Nick is talking about suspension this and that.. Is because he went up to Paul Daley after the fight (when Daley had just been lifted up on a stool from being KO:ed on the floor) and probably said some shit ..If u look closely you can see his red gloves next to Daleys face
