The Many Faces of Nick Diaz (Language, duh!)
Nick Diaz is admittedly a guilty pleasure for me. He is one of the best fighters walking this planet in terms of skill. Nick is also one of the most fearless fighters of all time. He’s called out guys most fighters would probably avoid. Diaz is an anomaly.
Over the years Nick has said some of the most entertaining things in mixed martial arts history. There are few who can match Diaz when it comes to spouting epic quotes and instant classics. BJPenn.com has scoured the internet looking for some of them and we have found what we were looking for.
Let’s take a look at how Nick could utilize his gift of gab in real life situations. If he were to get injured or was forced to retire we have some jobs, or positions we think he would be great at.
Nick the medical doctor:
“For the record, right now, I think someone needed to come out and say it: I think smoking pot is good for mixed martial artists. It’s a new day and age, this is, uh, the year … **** year is it? I don’t know, because I’ve been training and smoking pot like I should, instead of paying attention to other bullshit, which I don’t do.”
Nick the politician:
“I got nothing against the guy, except that he is kind of a piece of shit”
Nick the philosopher:
“Actually, on the contrary, my fight career has gotten in the way of my marijuana smoking.”
Nick the positive thinker:
“If you’re getting paid more than me, I’m definitely more excited about this ass whoopin I’m gonna put down on you.”
Nick the peace maker:
“I didn’t mean to call Georges a mother****er, but I ain’t got no problem getting there and fighting the best people in the world. Georges is a nice guy. I’m trying to fight Jon Fitch, I’m trying to fight Silva, I’m trying to fight K.J. Noons, I’m trying to fight everybody. I’m trying to fight Takanori Gomi, Sakurai, I’m trying to **** everybody up. **** this shit. This is ****ing gangster ****ing warfare. I don’t give a ****. You know what I mean?”
Nick the psychiatrist:
“Don’t be scared homie!”
Nick the motivational speaker:
“Because you get high all the time, you can’t find people that train all the time. But if you get high and train, you will get high and train all the time together and it will be ****ing massive-takeover-smoke-weed-and-kill-people shit.”
Nick the advisor:
“Every fighter I know wants to move there (Vegas) and wants to live there. You gotta be kidding me. These ****ing assholes. I mean — I love it, because they’re that dumb, I’m like, “I can’t wait to fight ‘em, they’re so stupid.”
Nick the strategist:
“You know, I feel like I can go out there and live somewhere in a place like that — probably not that place, ever, I can hardly stay there for a ****ing week, I hate it there, honestly — and then you know, make some money for myself, move back here, to some little spot, you know what I mean, where there’s ****ing a vineyard on the side of it and I can shoot rabbits outside of my door with a shotgun and nobody’s gonna say shit to me. That would make me happy.”
Nick being himself:
“The bottom line is Georges is being a little b****. He didn’t step up and say anything when the UFC pulled me out of this fight. I understand sometimes you have to do what you’re told, but why wouldn’t you tell the media you still want to fight me? If I was Georges, I would want to fight the best. I would have asked for the Anderson Silva fight. I would have asked to fight the Strikeforce champ. But he sits there like a robot and doesn’t say anything at all, just like he’s not going to say anything about me calling him a b**** now. If I saw B.J. Penn walking down the street and called him a b****, we would be fighting right there on the spot.”

Nick Diaz is a REAL FIGHTER unlike the GSP’s of MMA who need the “JUICE” and HGH and epo’s and designer undectable steroids.
Diaz brothers along with BJ Penn are a hand full of the very few fighters in MMA that arn’t all juiced up and they only fight with god given skill and natural training.
You guys can have the FAKE ASS GSP’s, ROIDY Macdonalds of MMA
Unfortunatly those fighters are too proud to train together.
I believe that if BJ joins the DIaz camp, he will become champ again.
Um yeah, because to be fit and cut up you have to be on roids even though GSP’s never came up positive for roids. I know dudes on roids and they look way more jacked than GSP. I know dudes that just take a post workout shake that are more jacked. Nice job just completely making up a story in which you know nothing about nor do you have any reason to even say he’s on roids. He’s tghe best 170er ever and you don’t like him because you’re an angry man so automatically ROIDS.
Wow. Too funny.
He is a true fighter and I’m 100% sure if he was in GSPs shoes the Anderson/GSP fight would of happend years back
Yeah, just like how Diaz went up and fought Mayhem Miller as soon as he could!
Your right Even tho He would have lost. At lease he’s willing to make the fight happen
That shit ain’t funny
Ur face aint funny. BITCH!
thats a compliment
I love it Nick will be fighting someone by 2013 and hopefully be throwing his hands in the air and giving someone that STOCKTON SLAP
WAR DIAZ
I love Diaz. Every fight he has been in gas been entertaining to say the least. I would like to see him fight anyone.
*has* not gas.
This dude is real and he speaks on things how he sees them. He doesnt give fake responses and beat at the bush and his fighting is raw.
I don’t care what anyone says! Nick Diaz is a warrior! His brother too they have the hearts of lions. And mind you this, warriors do not have to be the most smartest or articulate people. They just have to fight and win….all other bullshit is extra crap that doesn’t matter in the ring. WAR DIAZ BROS!
Diaz is a warrior, he will fight anyone , anywhere, and fight, not run, or man hump, he sucking fights, him and BJ have a lot in common, War Diaz, War Penn!
These quotes need to be made into “Nick Diaz Motivational Posters”… and I will buy them.
Hell yeah!
Bravo Nick!
What the hell?!!!!!!
Hahahaha Wat a Legend
Best fighter in the world right there. Not scared of anyone, entertaining as hell, and always comes to FIGHT!
Funniest shit ever. Him and his brother are the best! Always coming out to put on a good show and keep it real while doing it.
BJ PENN and Nick Diaz, favorite fighters of all time
110% same here brotha …. 1) BJ PENN 2) NICK DIAZ and 3) ANDERSON SILVA
this is the greatest article ive ever read on my life hands down … ****ing amazing I cannot wait until he comes back and just starts ****ing everybody up.
Nick Diaz is the man. Hes a FIGHTER, not a politician. He speaks from the heart, not from a script, and he has the heart of a lion. SO WHAT if he misspeaks or doesn’t always express himself clearly.
Diaz always been in my top 5 fav fighters
