When he feels a level of comfort in a social interaction/environment, Nick is more than capable of being able to articulate himself & his ideas with great detail and perspective. Glad he’s receiving the love he’s always deserved. A true pioneer in the fight game whose approach to the fight itself is so pure..

@@Caligula138 getting you're deeper meaning across is philosophy. So the fact that he may have trouble finding the right words, you cannot deny that his meaning comes across. Taking the words at face value don't always make sense, but when the emotion, hypotheticals, and slang are taken with the meaning that he is trying to put forth he has wisdom. His knowledge just isn't in linguistics lol it seems like his vocabulary isn't very expansive so what he says is very raw and repetitive. However, his life experience as far as loyalty, true relationships with people who actually care about you, being a pawn In a bigger game, never letting anybody put themselves above you. I truly believe he doesn't think he is better than anyone, but he doesn't think anyone is better than him. Also, he is 100% real, he knows he isn't the most well spoken guy out there, and he tells you over and over throughout his entire life that he doesn't fight because he loves it he fights because that's all he is good at and his only chance to be successful. Never played a character, never a Puppet, and has lived a life of hell because of it. Nate has been paid and made a lot of money, it just sucks that when Nick was coming up things weren't as transparent as they are now. It sucks that nick is getting all this love and opportunity after his career should be over. He is a pure person man, and I respect him. Book smarts isn't the only intelligence. Remember that.
Big ups to Ariel in all of this. I know he wasnt Nick's favorite but he did get some great interviews

He made 400k in his Anderson Silva fight(I took away the fine amount same for all the other upcoming ones), 200k against GSP, about 200k against Condit, 275k against Penn, and this is just his last 4 fight stretch in the UFC. This doesn't include locker room bonuses and other bonuses that go on behind the scenes. So, in his last 4 UFC fights he made over 1 million on paper. Add in sponsors as well. The guy has millions.

Because he is only scatterbrained at looking for words. He knows exactly what he wants to say because he feels it, just can't find the words for it. Like when he said "I don't get paid enough but I get paid way too much" That means boxers only fight 1 dimensionally but get paid hundreds of times more than me, but at the same time I make more than teachers, doctors, scientists, etc... for fighting.

Nick "you know' I dont know, Gnomesayin" Diaz. 💪
He is speaking 100% unfiltered in his Strikeforce days. Call it street knowledge or whatever but it is REAL. And people recognize that.

But after 5 years of not fighting and ,,more then 11 years since a win ...will his chin and cardio still be the same ..? Over the years his social media has been full of smoking and partying 🤣.. Lawer might not be in the best shape either but he was active over the years ...

I think in a perfect world he would be going for gold in some triathlon or Olympic event. You can tell it hurts his heart to fight in the cage like an animal. He said "as far as fighting for money... it's something I'm not in love with" he loves material arts for the mindset and being able to defend yourself (putting yourself on an even playing field with even the most bad ass person) he doesn't like fighting for sport
