- MMA H.E.A.T. caught up with UFC 143 headliner Nick Diaz, and heard what he had to say about his upcoming fight with Carlos Condit for the interim welterweight title. Nick talks about the matchup, his portrayal in the media and the fact that he fights more often than he'd like to. Nick also talks about his desire to fight current champ GSP and whether or not he believes Georges is really hurt. In addition, he comments on his younger brother Nate's last fight with Donald Cerrone and the treatment that he believes his brother should get in the UFC.

Damn, Nick was so different when he was having a normal conversation with that guy in the beginning.
feel bad for this guy sometimes. he obviously cant stand the media and seems like it gives him alot of anxiety.
ik this was 8 years ago but fuck it lol yes its ture both diaz brothers have been diagnosed with social anxiety
nick diaz the legend
+lonewolf 92 Legend of doping!!
+Yoshi Punishment lol
There is no match I'd rather see than Nick pummeling GSP in Nick fashion. None!
@jeff kittleson I love both of these fighters so I'm always surprised when I see comments like yours. Nick was clearly going through a lot of psychological issues on top of everything else. It's sad that people don't give him the credit he deserves. As much as I love GSP I do believe he was doping. Nick smoked weed there's a huge difference. On an even playing field Nick would have ran through even more fighters in his day. GSP takes the easy win and can be boring to watch, Nick would go out there and give the fans an awesome show. We need more Nick Diaz's in this sport, especially nowadays.
A real role model and athlete ,hall of fame for sure .
I think nick and Nate are the best fighters the world has ever seen!!!!!! And will always think so!!! Good honest hardworking guys!!
nick is not just a fighter hes a true martial artist and a loyal team member. you guys can say all you want but this guy has insane discipline he trains triathlons on his free days, and respects the traditional martial arts and bruce lees philosophy of learning and taking what you can from different kinds of arts. and the whole brawl i saw that differently. i saw that as a true friend backing his friend and teammate up from some guy stealing his golden moment. WAR DIAZ
the ufc dosnt want nick to become champion because hes not full of shit like the other fighters and he knows weed should be legal and all that stuff so i agree he should of goten a title shot a long time ago but they just keep making excuses because the more he fight the more posilbe it is that he will lose eventually.
GREAT interview! Thanks!
when is the next update interview with any of the diaz brothers?
Not only are the Diaz BROTHER'S effing "WARRIOR'$"... NICK IS DAMN GOOD LOOKING GUY!!!!💞👊💪💪💪💪
I 100% agree! Both of the Diaz brothers are but Nick is just whoa damn sexy! I'm a female I just use my ex's account cuz I dont want to lose the subscriptions etc.
Great interview
KB: so diaz, you're the favorite in this fight. how do you feel about that?
Nick : (ADD kicks in a looks at a guy with a black eye and disregards the question) what happened to you eye?
11:34 you can immediately notice a difference in Nick when he gets asked a question he isn't annoyed by. He suddenly becomes much more well-spoken.
Nick is a GENIUS..I say this sincerely.
THANK YOU! someone who who understands fighting!
ufc lightweights, welterweights and middleweights are the fights i get most excited about
you are complete right man
Nick is improving a lot in his interviews
i like nick diaz more n more every interview i see of him..
@UFCfan4lif3
Agree. Karyn please try to keep the microphone as close to Nick as to your mouth, so the volume is even. Makes it comfortable to listen to.
nick taking a bong rip is more interesting than a gsp fight
Nick is getting Alot better at articulating himself. Kudos Nick.
@PermaneoImperator very good point, and they should introduce a new rule:
"No running from opponent"
@SinisterSkip
And keep up the great work!
Everybody always counts out Diaz. Nothing new. "Shamrock was too experienced; Scott Smith was too explosive; Zaromskis' kicks were too good; Noons boxing was too good; Santos was too big and strong; Daley will KO him easily; Penn will make him look silly". It never stops. People love to hate the dude but you're right you can never count him out against anybody. He is extremely skilled, always shows up in superb shape, and adapts very well to his opponents.
1, 2, and 5 Diaz!!!
Nick is good at what he does too! He out cardios guys and makes them keep his pace! He is also outstanding at jiujitsu... How many people pull of gogoplatas in the ring lol
@fragman123xx 10-10 round is theoretically possible in the original 10 point "must" system, which meant that the the judges "must" award at least one fighter 10 points. but a 9-9 round is more common, either if a boxer won a round after a knock down, or if a boxer who won a round was deducted a point for a foul.
He looks a lot more comfortable in this interview.
what is the song in the red bull advertisement
@Thiagosilva2487 I agree. Greg Jackson is replacing physicality and athletecism with strategy-which is taking its toll on the product. While strategy is a key factor in a fight, we watch to see gladiators not strategists.
@kisame5000
why would it be hard to watch? just curious?
PayDiaz !!!
@SylverSC You can have a 10-10 round. That's what happens if there is no winner of a round. For some reason.judges don't give them out very often though. The UFC also don't communicate this very well with Goldberg saying "the round winner gets 10 points, his oppponent 9 or less" as there can be a round where neither fighter wins thus being a 10-10 round.
So tense and nervous
I agree word to that
woah dang, i have a social anxiety disorder too :( thanks for letting people know it's not easy to cope with >_
@youngweezy11 I agree. The only way I think Diaz could loose is if he gets cut. I don't think Condit will out work him or catch him with a KO.
you don't need to explain yourself to anybody nick, just kick ass!!!!
AWW DAY !!!
Carlos has been fighting for many years, he is very well seasoned.Where the hell are you getting your information from?
@topteam209 well said m8 you are so right nick is very very wise and far from being stupid
its the lunatics that pull him to bits over some interview that dont make any difference to anyone
@AndersMidtgaard J. Octagon Control 1. The fighter who is dictating the pace, place and position of the fight. 2. A striker who fends off a grappler's takedown attempt to remain standing and effectively strike is octagon control. 3. A grappler who can takedown an effective standing striker to ground fight is octagon control. 4. The fighter on the ground who creates submission, mount or clean striking opportunities
Love this kid Nick Diaz for champ 2012
@19Bill94 tune it late Saturday night and enjoy the event..
i wanna see gsp's response to that.
@ACLogikel K. Effective Aggressiveness 1. This simply means who is moving forward and finding success.(scoring) 2. Throwing a strike moving backwards is not as effective as a strike thrown moving forward. 3. Throwing strikes and not landing is not effective aggressiveness. 4. Moving forward and getting struck is not effective aggressiveness. 5. Shooting takedowns and getting countered and fended off is not effective aggressiveness.
Even now, GSP is not doing full training. Here is his daily routine (he posted it a day ago):
"Discuss the training plan with the team, bike/cardio warm-up, manual therapy on my leg, dynamic stretching, strength exercises, then water therapy, cool down and feedback."
@ACLogikel Here is a contract for Condit vs Diaz rematch, written by someone from UFC forum:
Section 1 Movement
1.1Both fighters may move, however the only movement allowed must be directly forwards or backwards.
1.2 Sideways movement will be met with an initial point deduction, then DQ.
1.3 Ideally to avoid movement (cheating) both fighters should be teatherd together with a length of rope no longer than the exact measurment of Diaz reach (to be measured at weigh in)
@SecroAdamir Pretty solid breakdown. Diaz is tough to finish early though. That's why I give a huge advantage to Nick
I have social anxiety and i'm out a lot
People just need to calm down. Wait for fight night. May the best man win... And get ready for one of the sickest fights ever
He never once says that he wants to see proof of Georges injury, all he said was is he hasnt seen or heard anything about it and that sometimes he wonders "was he was really hurt" because of the fact that hes training already.
Diaz is one crazy MO-Fo.. Crazy!!!
Can't see him taking Jones down, but we'll see
It's essential for his career that he gets used to these interviews. It's all part and parcel of being a pro athlete. It will just take time, practice, and more practice. Social anxiety is something that people can learn to handle. (speaking from personal experience).
Congrats nick, for fighting through your social fears. I know it's not easy.
I bet folks are gonna try to ask Nick all sorts of difficult questions at this press conference later to attempt to stir up some drama
@PermaneoImperator That scorecard looks a lot more correct than the official ones. How 2 judges gave 4 rounds to Condit I'll never know. Only thing I don't get with your scoring is that you give the 1st round to Diaz but not the 2nd. I thought he was clearly more dominant in the 2nd than the 1st.
Diaz is the most fascinating sports figure i've seen since Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.
I love seeing him trying so hard to create that "I do not conform" image for himself.
Diaz smile at 0:07
@TheeDevilWearsPrada Point is u can't jump around and start training after having torn acl
Nice to know the truth about B.J. Penn's black belt...
One cool thing about nick is that he doesnt put on an act. What you see is what you get.
Nick is the man
Nick is a smart fighter and he is a bad bad man!!!
Nick Diaz fought Frank Shamrock in StrikeFoce
Dam he's got some scar tissue, True warrior, WHERE YOU AT GEORGE!
@mrida7 That's the first thing I thought too. Dude's Twister if he got into MMA.
Nick Diaz 💪🏆👑💪
@ACLogikel kicking
2.1 Should either fighter wish to kick they must inform the ref who will check with Diaz if it is okay. Diaz can then approve or reject.
2.2 Should either fighter land a kick the fight will be stopped for the ref to check with Diaz if the kick was hard enough to socre, if the kick is deemed not hard enough by Diaz the fight will stop whilst the judges remove from the scorecards
2.3 Diaz is not to be kicked in the face as it's still damaged from the last fight
Does anyone know why he was trying to ignore the woman?
@TheeDevilWearsPrada I think he's more commenting on being played by promoters. As far as his comments on GSP, in that time line he later saw the prime time and GSP training / that fight (gsp v diaz) being promo'd so he was probably a little bit suspicious. It come clear to me how little people understand how he thinks despite all the interviews out there.
yea of course its a hard fight, GSPs the champ for a reason lol. But hes never fought someone with a ground game like Nick's. Nicks got unorthodox grappling, and in my opinion has a better overall game than Nate, even tho hes smaller for his division. If GSP wants to take risks (im hoping he keeps it standing at least for a round), I think Nick can pull it off.
@ravballer trololol - tell me what minute of what round that Diaz was warned for fence holding.
rooting for nick
@ravballer GSP said yesterday, and I quote "I am no longer the champ - I need to beat the winner of this fight to be the champ again"
I love watching nick and nate fight but it gets me down that he says he does not like to fight i wish he was really into to it seems like hes losing that spark if you know what i mean
@0crazylegs actually i do not get punched and kicked in the face for a living so my brain is just fine. thanks for the concern though
See... this is fighting.... points really shouldn't be the 1st thing your thinking of... But Condit or should i say greg jackson makes sure you do enough for 3 rounds or 5... but not enough 2 actually win a fight
GSP in mma is no doubt the best wrestler. I don't recall him being taken down once. Chael on the other got taken down and stuffed by bisping.
9:55 is a better spot to start.
@DrOprahVonPenishat Ariels good, but so is Karyn... You may not like ALL her questions, but she does ask a lot of good ones.. She surprises me with a lot of her questions... Ariels good to tho. Karyns good at getting fighters to open up
hhhhahahahah he called people squids i love it
he never fought mcdonald...
god i hate these interveiws where you cant hear!!!
gsb good fighter like you said then lets he prove it against silve or diaz when thier asked gsb after fight carlos if he can fight silve he just cant speak cause he know he cant beat silva in ground game every body in world know that gsb never could accept fight against silva cause he know he will het did in gage
Personally i dont hate Carlos Condit i like him but I love Nicks fighting style and i think Nick should have won that fight just saying
wonder where ariel is
Nick Diaz..one of the greatest...end of
@PermaneoImperator I wouldn't say his game plans are shit, arguably the best camp out there. 81% win percentage between all his fighters, would say he's doing pretty good.
My wife has had two knee surgeries and has never been able to work out right after surgery, so he has a point.
@PermaneoImperator JUST BLEEEEED
He missed two pressers not just one, so he missed his plane twice that's a good one!
@jrcova6160 actually you should rewatch it, diaz won first 2 then got the most dominate position in the whole fihgt in the 5th by getting condits back, not to mention all the nice combo's nick was also landing on the feet which should of won him that round which should of got him 3 outa 5, thats just my opinion, and joe rogan, and anderson silva and chuck liddel and GSP
Diaz's jujitsu is muuuch better than GSP's though. So if he goes down, theres a good chance Diaz can submit him. I would still give the edge to GSP but Diaz is too talented to count out. Also keep in mind GSP wants to prove to people he can finish fights now. So he might keep it standing and try to punch with Diaz (bad idea IMO), or be more reckless on top to try to finish Diaz, so maybe he'll get caught
Stockton!
@Shinn18 Ha ha great comment. You can´t win a fight by running full spead ahead attacking, if you don´t do any damage but get tagged like Diaz did:-)
Just because they aren't fighters doesn't mean they can't ask questions. Thats like saying a boxing analyst doesn't know what they're talking about.
