Did Diaz make a fool of himself on conference call?

Discuss.

No

Everyone already knew he wasn't the smartest guy in the world. What he did was make this fight more exciting and more appealing. Diaz made that the best Conf Call ever!

WalkLikeAWarrior707

Yes

He made it entertaining but at the same time he did make himself look like a fool

Gobbo

I didn't hear it, what happened?

Frontline_Rioter

No

Nick kept it real. Grease can't understand a god damn thing because his ego is constantly being stroked by Firas while money falls out of his pockets

CarNerd

No

Nah i don't think he did,just trying to get as much money as possible,ain't nothing wrong with that

fobar

No

I thought he did well considering. He tried to get his frustrations over and made a good job explaining how he feels about GSP and MMA in general. Much of what he said was the truth

GSP sounded like an **** at times, talking down to someone because they didnt know the best way to construct a sentence. thats petty and lame in my book

ultimatefightingchamp

No

Diaz is gonna whoop some ****









AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE

Jimz

that intro killed me

-Dana: ''I don't think there is any shocker were looking for nick diaz, we can't find him, as soon as we do we'll put him on the call.''
-Typical pothead voice out of nowhere: ''helloo''

This 100% Diaz explained how he feels and made some good points on the rules etc GSP resorted to attacking the way he speaks to try win the arguement which was more foolish imo.

No

GSP sounded like prick andi hope he gets KTFO for it

Gabri1985

GoToGuy

Keem

fighters don't make a fool of themselves outside the cage. they might all be fools and that's irrelevant.

fighters make a fool of themselves when they avoid fighting and start running.

FroZeN

Actually, I don't think he did. The more this guy talks the more I like him, I think I may be a Diaz fan now:\


And this is odd because I used to think he went full retard when he spoke.

User like to misconstrue running and avoiding fighting w/ fighting smart and you can't do that at the UFC level of MMA. If any fighter was ever running, or avoiding the fight the ref would step in.

No. He is just keepin' it real man.

Not enough times where a fighter ran away from the fight, literally. (Not figuretively)

Mirgliotta stepped in during the Silva vs Maia fight. The refs know the difference; there not subjective.

^they're not subjective

I had the Condit vs Diaz fight in favor of Diaz as well. Scoring is based on effective striking, grappling, aggression, and octagon control. The last two were obviously in favor of Diaz, although Carlos outstruck Nick according to all the stats. Was his striking "effective?" I guess that's subjective. There was very limited grappling the entire fight, but what little there was I'd have in favor of Nick (I think it was in the fourth round if I'm not mistaken).

I'm a fan of good footwork, circling out, repositioning, etc, but at some point it crosses the line into active avoidance. I think Condit walked that line during the Diaz fight and should not have been rewarded with the decision victory. Guida was warned for his avoidance during the Maynard fight, and we shouldn't even have to mention Kalib Starnes' performance against Nate Quarry.

Hopefully refs in the future recognize the difference between sound boxing tactics (circling away from the cage, working angles, etc) and when that crosses the line into fight avoidance.

I more so hope the fans recognize the difference

Pretty much, diaz is so gotten to......... B-)

Aashton

Yes

What Diaz sounded like was a bitter little brat. If you want "GSP status" then work to build your image. To Diaz fans: Don't say he doesn't want (GSP status) either because that's all he talked about. "GSP has this and GSP has that" and "Nobody likes me"...blah, blah, blah. And I would bet GSP wasn't being condescending when he said he didn't understand what Diaz was saying. Who could understand that jibberish anyway? Diaz is a great fighter, but he is a mental midget imo.

Hayden512

No

Nah

Nick was Nick.

jduk

I tried to listen to it, but couldn't. The whole thing was just terribly set up, loads of background noise, Nick was obviously having problems with his connection, and I couldn't understand what some of the guys were even saying.
