UFC 137: Nick Diaz Out, Carlos Condit In Against Georges St. Pierre

Crazy news coming out of the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. Nick Diaz is out of the UFC 137 main event against Georges St. Pierre. Carlos Condit is in.
The video stream for the press conference is choppy, but the word from those at the press conference, including Bloody Elbow's own Chris Barton, is that Diaz missed today's press conference. Diaz also missed yesterday's press conference in Toronto, Canada. UFC President Dana White said Diaz missed three separate flights within 24 hours, though I'm not sure if all of those were to Canada or if they included his trip to Vegas. White claimed Diaz "lied to his face."
White also said that Condit returned his call within fifteen minutes. He also mentioned that Condit cried when he found out the news.
Cesar Gracie black belt Jason Manly is now claiming on Twitter that Diaz was involved in a plane crash. "@EllenbergerMMA @kcbanditmma his plane crashed bro have some respect! He's safe and back training though.." [Update] This is false. Diaz simply missed flights.
Condit was originally scheduled to fight B.J. Penn at UFC 137. The UFC has not found a replacement for Penn.
White mentioned that tickets for the event went on sale today. He said that those who purchased tickets expecting to watch Georges St. Pierre fight Nick Diaz will be given the opportunity to refund the purchase.
Condit is reportedly on a plane to Las Vegas.
[Update] Dana just took a call from Cesar Gracie during the press conference. Dana relayed that Cesar feels embarrassed, and that he's tried to turn Nick Diaz around. Cesar also apparently told Dana that Nick is hiding and nobody can find him.

No Diaz just watched the Kos fight.
After watching the Kos fight, Diaz decided he needs both eyes.

I know it's September but...
for Christmas I wish this.
Dont fuck with Dana's time basically.
Really wanted to see the fight though, seems a little extreme to me.
generally yes.
But consider that this is Nick Fucking Diaz and that he’ll basically do whatever the fuck he wants unless somebody is tough with him, and it makes all the sense in the world. Cant allow this sort of behavior happen and if you dont provide an immediate response, the 209 will continue to do whatever the fuck he wants.
Cain is Able ...
Well not only time, but also money
15.000 $ in missed plane flights? That’s a lot.
I’m not even talking about principles that come with signing a contract that states Diaz has to show up to these conferences
Anyone else worried about Diaz?
Not to jump to conclusions, but there could be a lot of bad ones.
Or it could be Diaz being Diaz no showing like he has done numerous times before and just thinking he’s too important to get pulled.
initially, yes.
But then Dana said that Nick has already missed two flights to a previous presser for this fight. Sounds like opponent, boss, manager, and even brother are pissed at him, now.
Yeah, it doesn't sound like he's dead in a ditch now
But the guy has some serious mental issues. As Caesar said, major social anxiety. Almost like the UFC needs to be a bit more proactive and get a high profile athlete like this some help leading up to a big fight. If he’s a baby, maybe you have to get him a babysitter?
In my personal webMD, I think he just smokes too much weed. He’s always paranoid as shit.

More pissed off as of now
This is him being stupid again, it seems. God, I was so looking forward to this fight and now… hmpf. Hope he can get his shit together so that we get to see this another time. What a talented, interesting, reckless idiot.

What the fucking what?
Hope Nick’s OK and not just blowing off media like a dipshit. The fight honestly doesn’t change all that much so I’m not that bummed about the replacement. Hope Condit isn’t too affected by the late notice.
What everyone needs to do is calm down, take a deep breath, and prepare their bodies for the Thunderdome.
This sucks.
Condit is not ready for GSP.
This makes no sense.
I could understand dropping Diaz because he’s an ass. I get it, you need to prove a point.
But damn this card just lost a lot of luster.
Win ugly.

I wonder how Greg Jackson approaches this.
I think he corners Condit, but does he use knowledge from working with GSP against the champ?
"Kickboxing is great. It combines the style and grace of boxing with... kicking." -- Norm MacDonald
That's a great point
Does Jackson step away? Especially considering GSP is his crown jewel?
"i hate signatures...that, and hypocrisy"
All he does with GSP these days is mental shit.
Firas is for all intents and purposes Georges’ main trainer.
What everyone needs to do is calm down, take a deep breath, and prepare their bodies for the Thunderdome.

But he's still lead cornerman, right?
I bet he knows some shit.
"Kickboxing is great. It combines the style and grace of boxing with... kicking." -- Norm MacDonald
Oh he knows some stuff, but I think it's a given he's in Condit's corner.
Also of interest: can Firas keep GSP under control if something goes wrong? Jackson is always the guy that’s keeping Georges from freaking out about whatever injuries he has (eye, groin, etc.). If Jackson isn’t there will GSP mentally fold? Does Condit have the tools to push him to that point?
What everyone needs to do is calm down, take a deep breath, and prepare their bodies for the Thunderdome.
by lowellthehammer on Sep 7, 2011 4:54 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't think it's a given
Greg Jackson has been his lead cornerman for most of his championship. Plus, I highly doubt Jackson would coach against GSP
"i hate signatures...that, and hypocrisy"
When did Condit go to JSF???
And lowell raises good points about Jackson being GSP’s mental stabilizer.

Correct me if I'm wrong
But didn’t Condit start out at Jackson’s, leave for a time, and then go back around the Kampmann fight as you were saying?
The only point in all of this I’m trying to make is that Condit and Greg might go back farther then GSP and Greg…so maybe Greg won’t mind cornering Condit.
Just a thought. More then likely he corners neither.

I thought Jackson had proven in the Jones vs Rashad issue that his loyalties lie with the more talented fighter if push comes to shove. He’s also stated that he would normally step away and not corner any of the two.
"A belt only covers two inches of your ****and the rest you need to back up on your own." Royce Gracie (allegedly...I just read it somewhere and thought it was cool for my sig!)
Like said by other guy, Jackson favors whoever's more successful.
That’s why he brought in GSP when Diego was still there.

Its official
Greg Jackson said he wont train either of them for this fight.
Even if he's not in Condit's corner I don't think he'd be in GSP's either.
So my question stands. Can Firas keep GSP focused if something goes wrong?

I would guess he does the "gameplan" also.
"Kickboxing is great. It combines the style and grace of boxing with... kicking." -- Norm MacDonald
If Jackson loses two key members – Rashad Evans and GSP – due to split loyalties, that won’t help him get new talent. GSP had no problems ditching his manager, I doubt he’ll have an issue ditching a cornerman who isn’t loyal.

Great idea
I can see the logic of this too. Dana is pissed that Diaz is an irresponsible douche bag so he pulls Diaz from the main event. Since Diaz is not yet cut and BJ needs a fight that same day, demote Diaz to the BJ fight. Perfect. Its funny just before I went back to the main page i commented that Nick Diaz is a douche bag. Then when I get to the main page I see this news and am proven right.
Don't they train together a lot?
Not sure BJ or Diaz would be too pleased about that, but who knows?
BJ says teammates should fight
Diaz says his team is his family.
I don’t think BJ is his family.
I used to doubt they’d fight, but now I don’t.

Don't see it happening. Whenever Penn is in Cali, they train together.
…and he’s had the brothers out to Hawaii. I think Florian only trained with Penn once and Penn wasn’t happy about Florian wanting to fight him.
What the shit?
Man, are you serious Nick? You couldn’t have shown up for a simple press conference? I was so looking forward to this fight. I hope the plane crash thing isn’t true, but if it was, wouldn’t you call your boss and be like “Won’t be at the presser today, my plane crashed”
Goldie: Michael Jordanesque in his grappling skills is Travis Lutter
Rogan (with a sound of disgust in his voice): No, no, no he is not.
Goldie: He is not that good?
I was ALSO looking forward to the press conference
Diaz is always a good time at those.
Remember all those folks that said WEC lightweights simply wouldn't be able to hang in the UFC? Yeah.......
It’s a shame really. Jake Shields, who also trains with Cesar Gracie, just lost a family member and is still fighting later this month. It’s easy to lose respect for Nick for doing this knowing that his teammate went through something terrible but is still going to fight.

Nobody buys nicks either. Only a 5 year old could get high off $5 worth of weed. Most dealers I know don’t even sell dimes – it’s just a dub or multiples of eighths.

Dro is the high grade stuff for like 20 a gram
Schwag is reg going for like 20 a half ounce
if that clears anything up

In BC it is pretty similar quality, when I used to smoke it was no prob to get good quality at any time of the year.
It's just a world, it's just a life.

If you’re not getting it from a dispensary you’re getting it from some casual friend (people who slang are not really scary, strange and shady strangers anymore) who gets it from a dispensary.
Most likely Nick Diaz knows some people who texted him, “gotta g of headwreck $15” and Nick Diaz, an avid supported of Headband and also of Trainwreck, could not pass up such a deal, and in consequence, had to sneak out of his own house behind Cesar Gracie’s back and pick up said hooked up $15 sack.

antisocial disorder?? not. people with that condition like to blow up public property and/or commit other wantonly immoral illegal acts. His behavior mkore resembles anxiety or depression. Anti social is as the name suggests against society not withdrawn from society. Nick isn’t out destroying stuff or commiting cruelty against animals or anything nasty like that.

Antisocial Personality Disorder is the APA's new unified categorization for sociopathy/psycopathy in DSM IV.
Both are no longer diagnostic indexes in the latter versions of the DSM. They are still popularly used terms, but ASPD is a more scientifically acceptable term, which encompasses a wider range of closely related pathologies.
by Disco-Platypus on Sep 7, 2011 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions
Here is a link to DSM codes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-IV_Codes
Three quarters of the way down you will find ASPD as the first listed disorder under cluster B, itself under the heading, "Personality Disorders (Axis II). Neither sociopathy nor psychopathy are in use as diagnostic indexes any longer.
Categorization to the side, it is far more likely that Nick experiences a specific sub-type of anxiety listed under the ‘social phobia’ category.

No, I am not in the field.
So, this conjecture is truly baseless, as I am not a diagnostician in any form of the word.
That said, and if you allow me the courtesy of explaining my position (as you are a professional in the field), Nick’s avoidance behavior in social settings causes me to lean toward social anxiety. It seems that a clinically significant form of any of the cluster A schizoid disorders would render Nick unable to participate in a fight sport: those disorders come associated with a predominant paranoia of harm, and to me, this would seem debilitating for a fighter.
On the other hand, a generalized social phobia would allow Nick to participate in a fight, given the lack of interaction with the other participant, the fans, and so forth. As I see it, it is meaningful social interaction with others which bothers Nick, rather than a compulsive isolation due to paranoia, fantasy and so forth.
Again, this is my opinion as an armchair clinician.

oh- you seem to know what you're talking about, so I was curious.
Nick’s level of functioning is not at all out of line with CLuster A- the paranoia is not paranoia of being harmed, it’s having persecutory thoughts. This can encompass a wide range of perceived persecutions- we’ve heard Nick verbalize persecutory thought before- thinking he was going to be fined after the Daley fight, feeling as though “they” wouldn’t allow him to fight GSP or Anderson for unstated reasons, etc. Now, ike I said, this is a total guess and absolute conjecture unless I get to sit with him and run an assessment interview.
Also, having 1 or more personality disorders (Axis II diagnoses) is not mutually exclusive from depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc. (Axis I diagnoses), in fact, there’s a very high co-morbidity between having an Axis II and I diagnosis (dual diagnosis). I don’t doubt that he’s experiencing some sort of Anxiety or Mood d/o, but the behavior that we see, the glimpses into his persona that we get, suggest that he’s experiencing something more than a simple anxiety d/o. I don’t get a sense of neuroses from him, and based on my experience, it’s likely that he has some sort of Axis II diagnosis.

No, you are absolutely correct: intra-, bi- or even multi-axial comorbidities are exceedingly common. As an example, my particular affliction (ADHD) has an astoundingly high comorbidity rate with depressive disorders.
My only dispute with your suggestions – and again, I absolutely concede to you in this area – is that chronic isolation and excessive suspicion is noticeably absent from Nick’s behaviour. I was going to broach the subject of his YouTube videos and comments regarding the UFC preventing him from fighting GSP and so forth, but in my amateur opinion, these do not seem excessive and/or conspiratorial enough to be symptomatic of an Axis II disorder.
Further, while he clearly displays avoidance behaviour when he is obligated to interact with others in complex and meaningful ways, he is nevertheless not radically isolated and/or obsessively preoccupied with persecutory thoughts. The Axis II disorders you mentioned, specifically cluster A, often manifest themselves in a compulsive need for social isolation and the incapacity for all but extremely limited interaction – these are symptoms that, generally speaking, would preclude an individual from being a functional member of tight-knit social communities such as a fight team.
From all indications, however, Nick is a phenomenal teammate, which would require an intensive involvement in a ‘social fabric.’ Individuals afflicted with a clinically significant form of an Axis II disorder commonly both possess an incapacity and lack of desire for close personal relationships, an adjunct of their obsessive desire for isolation.
More than that, while you are clearly correct in pointing out his (at times) persecutory behaviour, this behaviour seems to keep in line with the situation at hand, simply in an exaggerated form.
by Disco-Platypus on Sep 7, 2011 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions
chronic isolation and excessive suspicion is noticeably absent from Nick’s behaviour.
see- this is where out whole conversation becomes pointless- we just don’t know. I’ve seen enough mentions from him about persecutory issues to where, if I was working with him as a clinician, it would raise a red flag. That red flag could end up being mitigated by further exploration. Also, we don’t know hopw isolated he is. Often,. even the most severely impaired individuals have significant relationships with people they’ve known for long periods of time (family members, old friends, etc.)- those relationships may be unstable and turbulent, but they’re there. He may disappear from his friends and family outside of training/fights- we don’t know.
he is nevertheless not radically isolated and/or obsessively preoccupied with persecutory thoughts.
Again- we simply don’t know from where we sit.
cluster A, often manifest themselves in a compulsive need for social isolation and the incapacity for all but extremely limited interaction
that’s not necessarily true- very visible people can suffer from Cluster A, but deal with it in excessively pathological ways. I suspect that Nick’s profession/passions of fighting and running triathalons offer an outlet that greatly alters the tolerances and real world results of these pathologies. But, what we can agree on is that Nick’s level of functioning is is appreciably lower than his peers that share his population, and this fact denotes that whatever issues he’s dealing are clinically significant.
I’m not defending my from afar diagnosis- who the fuck knows, but I am saying that each person and how they suffer from/interact with their pathologies greatly differ, and based on my professional experience and observations, I could not yet rule out any of these diagnoses with Nick, whereas I CAN rule out schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, bipolar and other diagnoses, and what you can’t rule out is just as important as what you can.

what did I write that prompted you to conclude I dont know what I’m talking about?
To answer your question, your entire knowledge of antisocial p.d. is based on the link I provided. That’s like the cliffs notes version- you don’t have to abuse animals or blow shit up to demonstrate APD’s symptomology. Here’s the diagnostic criteria from the DSM IV:
A) There is a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 15 years, as indicated by three or more of the following:
failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;
deception, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;
impulsiveness or failure to plan ahead;
irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults;
reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;
lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another;
B) The individual is at least age 18 years.
C) There is evidence of conduct disorder with onset before age 15 years.
D) The occurrence of antisocial behavior is not exclusively during the course of schizophrenia or a manic episode.
You don’t see any of that in your (admittedly from afar) observation of Diaz? Plus, you’re not taking into account external factors- Diaz fights in a cage for a living. Don’t you think that having that kind of outlet would alter some of the symptoms that others with the same diagnosis display? If you or I submitted and knocked guys out on the street, we’d be arrested- he does it in a context in which it’s accepted and rewarded. That’s a big deal and probably a very positive thing for him.
Plus, we’ve had discussions before, and you’re so quick to jump to conclusions and fly off the handle, plus, when presented with contradictory evidence, you never give an inch. You’re not one of the easier people to have a discussion with on here. I’m just being honest and answering your question—all of this combined; that’s why I said you had no idea what you’re talking about.

Mr hair , you’re fucking hilarious. My enitire knowledge of ASPD is based on your post? That’s quite an ego you’ve got. You diagnose a man with having an antosocial personality disorder without being able to point to any specific antisocial behavior but say I’m quick to jump to conclusons. You say, (paraphrasing)Oh , well he fights in a cage so that’s where he get’s it all out. Well, good thing you make unfounded accusations on a website or you be running over children in the crosswalk.
Aside from following your logic in the last sentence, what conclusons have I jumped to sir? where exactly am I “so wrong”?
The simple fact is that Nick doesn’t have a history of “failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;
deception, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;”
Obviously he has some anxiety issues but you have decided to judge him in a far more deviant manner.
What I’m saying is your diagnosis has gone a bit too far and bordrs on slander. It doesn’t mean i think you are not a good mental health worker but I think you are way to quick to make this kind of VERY serious assertion.
Then you made the cardinal sin of telling hardy he doesn’t know what he’s talking about ;-)

The Internets: Where there are no girls and men become children.
there is no spectrum, but there are different types (paranoid, disorganized, catatonic, undifferentiated and residual), but the symptoms are severe- like hallucinations, delusions, disorganized/catatonic behavior, affect disregulation (the inability to match facial expressions to appropriate emotions)- even doing what Nick does would be an extremely high level of functioning for a schizophrenic. Plus, he’d be very old to just be experiencing onset now- typically comes in the late teens early 20’s.

You can’t spot Asperger’s from a mile away. Asperger’s is a very high functioning autism and hell if I can spot diagnose them. They may be socially awkward but unless they tell you they have Asperger’s there’s a good chance you’ll never know
I'm quite familiar with Asperger's and the Autistic spectrum
Though I’m not the one who clinically hands out diagnoses to people, it is possible to identify someone when you know what to look for. I’ve been surrounded by children with these kinds of diagnoses daily for the last 10 years. It is kind of obvious to me, now.
That said, I completely agree with you that to the general public wouldn’t necessarily pick up on the subtleties of Asperger’s (especially when many don’t know what it is or that it exists). And you seem to know what you are talking about in many comments above, so I mean no disrespect.

In any event, I hope he’s ok.

I mean that’s gotta be spot on what he said. Honestly, Diaz is just a punk.

Hey Nick - Fuck you
You just made me lose an incredible night of fights ending with someone potentially getting rid of the boring GSP reign. I havent been this excited in a fight card in a LONG time and you ruined it. I think Condit is more ready than people think and even more so than Diaz. Diaz has been fighting in SF and DREAM while Condit has been killing the upper eschelon of UFC fighters.
WAR CONDIT
Apparently Diaz WASN’T ready at all. This shit is just bizarre. The fact that Dana said he isn’t cut “YET” is a pretty telling statement.
"I think he doesn't accept punches very well. I don't know why." - JDS speaking of Brock Lesnar
Wasn't Rory Mac throwing Condit around like a rag doll
until he got caught late?
GSP won’t get caught.
No..
Rory was dictating the pace of the fight standing and controlling Condit on the ground. Then the 3rd came, I can’t remember exactly what Greg Jackson yelled at Condit, but Condit came out possessed. He pressured, dominated and hurt Rory to the point where the ref had to stop the fight with like 10 seconds left.

So Diaz was going beat to GSP, and now Condit is more prepared to do so?

"I'm a little worried about being a slut"
~ Bobby Hill
Just saying...
Hes not coming from the minors (SF/DREAM) fighting Thomas Denny and over the hill fighters. So yes, more prepared.. And remember, even though he was getting tossed around by someone who is supposed to be the “better GSP” He still KTFO’d him. Condit puts himself out there and takes chances therefore I like his fighting. Not a boring wet blanket.
GSP is the better GSP.
Rory MacDonald has a ways to go before he can be in the same category as GSP.
"I'm a little worried about being a slut"

THIS is what the diaz fans are going to be saying. “if only diaz showed up, he’d have destroyed gsp! but now condit will.”
in all seriousness i kind of think condit has at least as good a chance against gsp as diaz did, if not better. i am fine with the main event – it is the co-main that is now disappointing. i expect the fight to get straight-up scrapped.
I'm a huge Diaz a fan
And I would never think anything close to that.

I do think Nick is a slightly better version of Condit though, and would have had a slightly better chance (though still small) of pulling the upset.

I'm not sure Condit is ready for Georges just yet.
He has a chance to win, but he isn’t going to be able to KO him like he did to Stun Gun.

Speed and versatility.
He gave BJ so many different looks… punches to the head and body, low/ body/ high kicks, elbows & knees in the clinch, takedowns. BJ is great at what he does, but he has a very narrow focus standing- punches. Occasionally he’ll throw something else and land with authority, but that is few and far between.
Stylistically, it would be an awesome technical fight, but I wouldn’t consider either guy a lock.

Alves has good head movement and good hands himself.
Standing, I don’t see BJ dominating. If he could take Thiago down consistently then I would say he might start dominating the striking, but I don’t think BJ’s takedowns are enough to get Alves down all that often.

I can’t believe people are actually trying to defend Diaz. The man didn’t show up for work TWICE!!! Fighting in the UFC is a job and when you don’t show you get fired and lose out on pay. Diaz lost his title shot and will hopefully get fired.
Wish my job paid what his pays.
For whathe was gonna make, hell I’d step in and fight GSP during the damn press conference!

Either Diaz is high as fuck, or he’s shit scared of GSP. Maybe bother.
In all seriousness however, Diaz needs to speak to somebody. He was set to make the wage packet he was demanding if not more and he’s completly shot himself in the foot. The fact his team and his own brother haven’t got a clue where he is, is pretty ridiculous.
I hope they find a fight for BJ too. Was really looking forward to him and Condit.

So disappointed in this news. Removing the guy for no-showing pressers? I can usually get behind Dana’s drastic stuff but this one strikes me as a little too hasty. They could’ve spun this as Diaz being too much of a punk to even promote a fight against GSP. An easy heel vs. face scenario.
Oh well, Condit/GSP is going to be a good fight but I really wanted Diaz/GSP.

No showing pressers. Disappearing from his own manager. Being completely MIA
Yeah… totally a dick move by Dana removing him from the fight
The MMA Garage
Check out this site for discount MMA gear.
Like Dana said
what if he didn’t show up for the fight? There;s no telling what’s going on in Nick’s head.
Diaz has a history of not being professional
It’s entirely possible that he was let into the UFC on a sort of probationary status; that he would have to prove that he was serious about fulfilling the obligations he agreed to in his contract, otherwise he’s out.
Dropping him from his title shot for this seems perfectly reasonable to me.
That said, I was really looking forward to those two fights.

Cesar Gracie quotes:
“There’s a lot of hard workers I see that have trouble putting food on the table for their kids,” Gracie said. “I’ve stuck up for Nick a lot, but I can’t stick up for him on this one.”
“I would have driven him to Vegas if it came to that,” Gracie said. “I don’t care. He just turned his phone off and acted like a little kid. It just doesn’t cut it.”
“Nick is like family to me. We’re going to have a long discussion, hopefully with Dana, to see if he’s still in the UFC or not. But let’s face it, Nick is 28 years old. I talked to Dana about this before, and I think a big problem with all of this is Nick has social anxiety. He doesn’t like to go and be away from home. He has no trouble fighting in the cage, though,” “You can’t just not show up and [not] tell anyone anything.”
“He doesn’t feel comfortable being around people,” he said. "He has a very deep ingrained social anxiety, and it’s something he probably needs help for, I think. I think that’s why he self-medicates himself with the marijuana. That’s my amateur opinion.
“He did the same crap with Paul Daley and a couple other guys. It was the same Nick Diaz. It’s not the pressure of fighting GSP. It’s the pressure of doing a news conference before the fight. Fighting is no pressure because he gets to beat someone up or get beat up.”
“I’ve always been there to facilitate things for him and stuck up for him even when he was wrong. If I were him, I would be calling Dana at some point basically begging for my job and giving [me] another chance to fight for the title.”

Dana sending a message
While I’m totalllly in agreement with removing Diaz from the fight, I think Dana is just as concerned about sending a message to his fighters.
Just as it was with the AKA guys, Marquardt and Duffee, Dana is trying to tell his employees that he’s the boss and they need to understand that.
If they don’t like it, there’s always PRIDE WEC Strikeforce Bellator.

"I'm a little worried about being a slut"
~ Bobby Hill
Full Quote from Cesar
“I’ve stuck up for Nick, even when he was wrong before,” Gracie said. "But he’s let a lot of people down. He’s let his team down. We all bought plane tickets to Vegas. We got hotel rooms booked, paid for. We’ve got all that, and Nick just decided not to go to something he’s supposed to. They’re paying him a lot of money, and in this economy where people don’t have money, he’s blessed. He should be thanking God every night how blessed he is.
“And instead, he’s not getting on a plane to go to Vegas. I’m extremely disappointed. He’s done a lot of stuff, but this is the worst of it. If I were him, I would be begging Dana White to get my job back and work your way up to a title shot at some point.”
For the record, Gracie said he tried to get Diaz to the press conferences and on Monday left his son’s birthday party to chauffeur the fighter to the airport for the gathering in Toronto. Diaz, however, left the gym before he could do so.
Gracie volunteered to go on the plane with Diaz, but Diaz said he wanted to go by himself.

Incredibly specialized contractors who are relatively easily replaced with arguably better specialized contractors?
What happens when the next guy decides to skip all press events? Then the next guy? Then the next guy? Calling it a slippery slope isn’t even enough, it’s a slope covered in lube and you’re on roller skates.
This will be the beginning and end of anyone skipping press events AND there’s still a great fight—-how is that not a good solution?
Not afraid to nitpick
I agree with this.
If Diaz gets away with it, why would any fighter not skip out on the presser? I’m sure they’re not exactly fun for the fighters…
If it was fun, Zuffa wouldn’t have to contractually obligate people to do it.
No sir, I don't like it.
Normally, I'd say yes.
But when they add in the fact that even his own coach can’t find him – not that he refuses to come in, but that he’s actively hiding – that’s basically a, “Fuck you!” to the UFC, whether it’s completely intentional or a result of other psychological issues.

If he gets cut then most of us can agree this is bullshit right?
I mean, you can cut him if he does this dissappearing thing for like six months or something I’ll be cool with that. But if he turns up in a few days and the UFC cuts him that’s a little overkill right.
I’ll agree that if he gets Bj on the same card (I’d be shocked if he did) this wouldn’t be that big of a deal and a fair punishment.

Crazy thought
a factor may have been that tix weren’t flying out the door, and Dana knew he needed all the promo help he could get. A reach, but it could have been a factor, as opposed to a superfight where the show was sold out in a flash.
no chance
Diaz-GSP would have been much bigger than Condit-GSP.

Oh, I agree
I’m saying as opposed to a GSP-Silva, where if Silva flakes the pressers, that show is still going on because it’s a mega PPV and sell-out show.
I understand
and during the presser, part of me thought that they dropped the ball and could have really used his erratic behavior to promote this in a new way. But, after hearing Dana describe the process, I totally understand why they felt the need to set a limit and get someone who they could rely on in there. Diaz was given an incredible opportunity- that’s a privilege, not his right—UFC can’t touch his money, and they had to discipline him somehow….

Dana laid out the ground rules, Diaz looked him in the face, mumbled his agreement, and then flaked.
There’s just too much money and risk at stake for this kind of an event. If a QB blows off a presser for the Superbowl, the team is still going to play, guaranteed. There is no guarantee with a guy who agreed to the terms, then blew them off twice. Without so much as a phone-call or reach around.
They signed him
And he failed to live up to the conditions and terms, at least on two occasions. I suppose the UFC should just risk Nick’s not showing up on fight night???

A UFC test run?
He’s been in the UFC before, where he assaulted a man recovering in hospital and was not immediately cut.
Diaz was only cut after losing three straight. He fought once out of the promotion, came back, then left again of his own accord.
The UFC have been very, very forgiving considering Nick’s history.
Nick more than likely violated his bout agreement and contract by missing these dates the UFC has every right to do this

I could give him the benefit of the doubt if he actively pursues help for whatever anxiety or illness he has, but if he just pretends like he is above everything and refuses help of any kind, I don’t really have any more sympathy left for him.

I just hope Diaz is OK. Clearly he has some issues which are so severe that they’re interfering with his livelihood. That is pretty serious. And now that some real damage has been done, I’m worried he might hurt himself somehow. He needs to get some help.
I like watching the guy fight, a lot. I think GSP was going to beat him anyway, but I still like the kid. I would like to see his coach/manager try to get him help ASAP instead of piling on at this point.

I’m cool with Nick not fighting in the UFC ever again. I don’t see why the UFC brass would want to keep him around and give him fights when there’s a chance he beats some of your better fighters.
Why do that? So he can flake on another big fight or some more of his responsibilities? Pass. Go fight Nate Marquardt in BAMMA or Ben Askren in Bellator.
I think seeing Fitch wrestle him to the ground for 15 mins and then cutting Diaz from the UFC would be a good way to lower his stock in the industry.

But my point still stands that you can’t give Diaz more big fights if you think he’s going to keep skirting his responsibilities.
If you want to punish him either cut him or have him spend the rest of his contract fighting down on the prelims. Don’t reward him with any other “name” fighter and I know Fitch isn’t a draw but he’s a consensus #2 in the division.

I hope Nick has just lost his shit,
and nothing worse comes of it, but I’m just out of mind excited about this. Carlos has been one of my favorite fighters for a long time, and deserves the shot more than Nick did anyway. I can’t give him great odds, but fuck it, WAR CONDIT!!! anyway.

Sometimes I wonder if Diaz’s “I dont give a fuck” attitude is all a front and all he is inside is a scared little boy. I wouldnt be surprised. It seems like a perfect coping mechanism to someone who is just afraid or people/whatever.

Perhaps it's the people I've been exposed to in my life..
..but that’s why I’ve never bought into Diaz’s pothead flip everyone off personality.
But i’ve always seen him as a guy with chronically low self-esteem perpetually lashing out.
on a hunch i checked Afroman - BEcause I got high youtube video

“i was gonna go to my press conference. but then i got high.
i was scrapped from the fight, and i know why. becuz i got high.

I was really looking forward to Penn/Condit. Two guys who don’t point fight and go for it. I know GSP is P4P and all that, but now we get a less exciting fight, just my opinion. Oh well, half the fights that get booked don’t seem to shake out anyways. Just another in the bunch.

Rewatching the press conference..
..and GSP’s remark about overanalysing his fights resulting in “paralysis”.
Interesting stuff. People should cut this guy some slack for not finishing. I’ll take a cerebral fighter over some pothead kid any day.

When Cesar Gracie says Dana was right, I guess there's no arguing left...
“I’ve stuck up for Nick, even when he was wrong before,” Gracie said. "But he’s let a lot of people down. He’s let his team down. We all bought plane tickets to Vegas. We got hotel rooms booked, paid for. We’ve got all that, and Nick just decided not to go to something he’s supposed to. They’re paying him a lot of money, and in this economy where people don’t have money, he’s blessed. He should be thanking God every night how blessed he is.
The only thing that could make this entire situation more palatable for me, is if they book Diaz Vs Penn on the same card.
Hit straight, hit hard, lift heavy.
I could see them doing that.
Although to be honest, I don’t entirely understand why missing a press conference = getting removed from the fight.

Sounds like Dana was pretty specific about this when he signed him...
…I mean, Dana threw him a real bone here. He probably said “Nick, just show up for all the press stuff and we’re good”. And he didn’t. Dana doesn’t need anymore of a circus than he already has.
Fuck, from the sounds of it he just stopped returning calls after Monday night. How can you rely on that guy to headline one of the biggest cards of the year?
Reading how Cesar Gracie was disgusted just sealed the deal for me

It’s one thing to not show up for the press conference, it’s another thing to go completely AOL and not even call, text or email your employer to let them know what is going on.

Press conferences must be attended; it's part of the contract. If you don't follow your contract, then...
Letting the UFC pay 15000 in plane tickets, letting your whole team pay their plane tickets + hotel and not showing up… twice… shit has hit the fan.

Cesar Gracie even said he had to tell Diaz to stay home so that he’d pick him up. Of course, Diaz got out the back door…

Someone needs to find Nick and get him on suicide watch. With his mental issues, the no-show, the cancellation and Cesar being so disappointed with him, he probably isn’t in a very good place right now.
I’ve never really cared for the guy (although I respect his fighting and triathlon abilities), but I hope he doesn’t go that route. Head up Nick! Bite the bullet, take your punishment like a man and get back on that horse!

After re-watching the press conference...
Dana made the claim they made the decision to axe Diaz literally right before the presser, and yet he had a new promo video to plug GSP vs. Condit…that’s some really fast editing there – could it be that Condit was the back-up plan all along?? (or is it really that easy/fast to piece together a quick promo video?)
Whats the deal for BJ then?
Does anybody know what the plan is for BJ then – is he just scratched from the card or will he get a replacement? What’s Fitch up to atm, he doesn’t have a fight booked in yet, does he?
BJ vs Fitch II would be a pretty solid co-main, provided Fitch is fit enough for a short camp.

Would it have been so tortuous
To sit around, not make eye contact, issue out a thousand instances of “but yeah… whatever” in a flawed attempt to at least give media something to get people excited about your fight?!
In life, sometimes you have to do menial bullshit that is necessary to do the things you truly desire. Nick Diaz not only fucked over himself, but he fucked over every single fan who clamored for this fight to go down, and he fucked over every single excited fan awaiting the fight by being too much of an arrogant loser to attend a press conference.
You don’t have to be a monkey in a box. You can be a reasonable, responsible adult who fulfills his word in order to have the opportunity to beat the shit out of the boring French-Canadian we’re all tired of. Anybody over the age of 4 can comprehend that.
Nobody necessarily gives a shit if Nick Diaz is dedicated to “playing the game”. Everyone’s chastising Nick Diaz because he’s a fucking idiot who ruined what could have been a great fight.
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
First of all...
Dana White ruined that fight, not Nick Diaz — in order for this sport to remain as great as it is, you better get that right (though you probably won’t).
Second, what I like about nick is that he doesn’t do what we jack-offs have to do — he fuckin’ FIGHTS. Cudos to him for saying fuck you to the other bull shit.
Torres, Florian, Aoki, Kampmann, 'Mayhem', Mousasi, Fedor
That's cool.
Having a “yeah whatever I don’t give a fuck about bull shit” attitude really landed him all the money he desperately wanted and begged for. If you don’t fulfill the promises you made you’re bound to piss people off. And, unfortunately for the narrow-sighted, dimwitted Nick Diaz, he pissed off his boss who gave him a golden opportunity and only got a “fuck you, I don’t wanna go” in return.
In order for this sport to remain as great as it is, great fights need to happen. And if assclowns are unable to man up to their responsibilities than they’re going to fuck it up.
