Nick Diaz Responds With a Video: 'I'm Sorry I Didn't Make It to the Beauty Pageant'

Unless you've been under a rock all day, you're probably aware of the Nick Diaz situation by now. He was removed from his UFC 137 welterweight title fight with Georges St. Pierre because he missed two press conferences and went MIA. Well, he's alive and well and chose to make a Youtube video to explain himself. Sort of. He doesn't address at all why he missed the press conferences, but he says he's ready to fight. About 16 times. He filmed the video while driving, on the way from San Francisco back to Stockton. He says he was trying to get on a plane to go to the press conference. He started by saying that he thinks Carlos Condit getting the fight with GSP is "ridiculous". He went off after that:
"Funny, one second I'm about to come into some money, do a little boxing, you know, f*uckin, probably lose some teeth. But um, I'm ready to get paid, ya know. So, I'll fight whoever, whatever, anything ya know. I'd definitely rather fight GSP of course. Ya know, I was ready to do some boxing, and they didn't like that. So they got me outta that, and they got me in the fight with GSP for the same money, or more money, or whatever. But now it looks like they get to save money, and I don't get paid, and I'm locked in a new contract. All these dealmakers making deals. All I know is I'm ready to fight. I'm sorry I didn't make it to the beauty pageant. But, ya know, I've never not showed up to a fight. I've never backed out of a fight in my life, that's not what I do. So I just wanted to throw that out there."

It's pretty obvious,
whatever the specifics are don’t matter. The guy didn’t want to go to the press conference, plain and simple. What I don’t get is removing him from the fight for that. Seems way too extreme.

nah
dana’s been telling him for years that he just needs to play the game. he gives him a big fucking shot, gives him a title fight in his first UFC fight in years and he can’t even make it to a press conference. there’s so many guys out there who’d kill for a chance like that. i totally see where dana white’s coming from.

Diaz has a point, though.
He’s always been Nick Diaz. But Dana & Co. lured him away from doing his own thing, they gave him a title shot KNOWING that Nick Diaz is Nick Diaz. And when he acts exactly how he has for his entire career, and doesn’t go to a press conference, they cancel the fight entirely?
I can’t believe i’m agreeing with Memitim, but he’s right- this was a huge overreaction.

I gotta disagree Elliot
just because they are fighters that doesn’t mean they get to be unprofessional. Why should we expect less of them? Are they lesser than other athletes?
Diaz is trying to get special treatment and was banking on his star power to allow him to break the rules and it turns out he didn’t have the leverage.
If he wins 20 games in The Show, he has character. Until then, he is a jerk.

I don't think he's banking on anything.
I actually think that maybe the UFC was banking on their monopoly over the sport as a way to leverage Diaz into attending the press conferences. But in reality, they just fucked the guy over. We all know that Nick Diaz doesn’t do this kind of shit. The UFC lured HIM away from pursuing other challenges, so that he could fight GSP… not to have perfect attendance at a bunch of insipid media events.

IF they want to get PAID like real pro atheletes
They need to ACT like them and prove their worth.
The NFL/ NBA/ MLB that you mentioned above are LARGER than any one athlete and are STANDING INSTITUTIONS.
If Nick just “wants to be a fighter” there’s plenty of mediocre opportunities in low paying fights in regional local circuits.
Either play the game or find some where / something else to work.
What does that even mean?
Because they fight in a cage for a living they’re allowed to be completely unreliable?

Because they're prizefighters,
maybe they shouldn’t have to do all the media dog- and- pony shows, all the time. Who really gives a fuck about press conferences anyways? Does anyone ever say anything truly groundbreaking, something we didn’t know already?
If anything, all Press Conferences are is a chance for reporters to try and get THEIR OWN name out there, either asking generic questions, or asking real questions (but only getting back generic, vague answers).
What are the fighters going to do at the presser? If they’re respectful they’ll respectfully say they’re going to win, if they’re bolder characters then they’ll verbally shit on their opponent. It’s so predictable, and I honestly don’t understand what the big deal is. So Diaz didn’t show up, I agree with him- it’s basically a glorified beauty pageant, and i’m not interested in that shit at all.
I’m interested in good fights.

Who really gives a fuck about press conferences anyways?
the press people who are at them. This is how news papers, websites and other media outlets get materials for all articles and segments they would be running for this event. These articles and media spots or lack of them are what get the UFC in the public eye and drive up buy rates.
In the aftermath of the failure of buy rates of UFC:Rio, many have pointed to the complete lack of media coverage in the States. It takes more than just highlight ridden commercials to push a sporting event.
Every major sporting outlet running an article on an fight event is worth way more than every single commercial. And when a fighter doesn’t show for an event, it makes an unprofessional impression and every other major sports league punishes athletes for skipping things like this.

Of course it was the right thing
Dana is his boss. He defied him before by not showing up to a previous press conference. Now he does it again. It’s the right thing to do to show him who’s in charge. Especially because he is a fighter. I don’t think it would be wise to keep the kind of individual who choses pricefighting for a living on a long leash.

I don't think it was a huge overreaction
And I like Diaz. Think of it as a test. If he couldn’t show up for a simple press conference (given two separate chances on different days) what would give Dana the confidence that Diaz would jump through all the hoops to make the fight come to fruition? Remember the testing fiasco with Jay Hieron?
Dana gave Diaz a shot and Nick blew it.
That's certainly one narrative.
Another narrative is that Dana & Co are reprimanding Diaz for being himself. They shouldn’t have signed him and taken him out of the much more lax environment that SF has going if they weren’t prepared for this eventuality.

by ElliotMatheny on Sep 8, 2011 1:08 AM EDT up reply actions
Another narrative still:
Diaz is a grown man, who signed a contact which which stated it was incumbent upon him to make certain appearances, fight a certain amount of times, and so forth.
Unless Dana & Co went insane prior to writing it, this contact also clearly stipulated that the contract could be altered or rendered null and void should Diaz renege on the various obligations set forth therein.
This entire notion of an ‘overreaction’ is silly, and absolves a grown man for contravening components of a contract which he himself, voluntarily I might add, signed. Dana and Co reacted according to the terms and conditions they and Nick Diaz agreed upon, so their reaction is by definition an appropriate reaction.

Unless it is different than almost every other UFC contract,
which Dana has said on multiple occasions includes clauses for appearances, then I would argue having a copy ‘handy’ is unnecessary.

The funniest part?
Well, there are two funny parts:
a) These appearances being a mandatory component of the contracts is not only logical, sound business practice, and common sense, but it is generally common knowledge.
b) Both GSP and Dana White mentioned it just today, during the press conference.
Are you being deliberately and unnecessarily confrontational, or do you actually believe that UFC fighters forsake training, rest, and time with their family and friends to come to expos, press appearances, interviews, press conferences, autograph signings, Q & As and the like voluntarily?
At any rate:
GSP:
I despise doing this. I don’t like the staredown, the face-to-face, the pictures, the click-click. I don’t like doing this, but I have to. It’s the contract. To promote the fight, you need three entities: the organization and the two fighters. And one fighter didn’t do his job. If you don’t want to do it for yourself, do it for your family. It’s a little bit selfish."
Dana:
When we brought him in to sign to fight Georges, I told him that all purses he’s ever made won’t add up to as much as he would make in this fight. But I told him that I needed him to do certain things. You have to promote the fight. You have to show up for pressers. You can’t start fights at fights.Those are just from three minutes of searching from today’s press conference.

Well,
if every UFC fighter in every main event that I can recall showing up for press conferences; Dana White saying as much on multiple occasions, including this occasion; and Nick Diaz’s more successful, higher profile opponent admitting as much at the press conference Diaz reneged upon are not enough “proof” for you, then you are beyond help.
As I said, this type of press being mandatory in all sports is so far beyond common knowledge, that demanding ‘proof’ is one of the silliest demands I have heard in some time.
I am going to check out, as I can feel myself being condescending and I can tell you are simply a Diaz fan. There is no need to be condescending toward you, and I am not going to lower myself to interwebz tactics. I assure you that press conferences and appearances are an absolutely mandatory component of athlete contracts, and their employers are legally able to render punishment as they see fit.

If you EVER see a UFC contract posted verbatim on the internet
please, let me know, and take a screenshot very fucking quickly. There isn’t a single person in any contract business that I’m aware of that has their entire contract posted online for the world to read. No one, ever. Not the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, etc.
Individual’s personal finances are sometimes posted by companies, but there’s no athletic company in the world that I’m aware of that posts the entirety of ANY contract out for the public.
What we DO have is the word of Dana White, Georges St. Pierre, Shane Carwin, Brock Lesnar and many others who have publicly stated that it is indeed a contractual obligation.

So all the fighters go to the press conference, show up, do what they’re supposed to do just not Diaz because “yeah like.. he’s always been like that.. yeah.. whatever”? That’s ridiculous. What makes Diaz so special that all the rules that apply to every fighter in the main event don’t apply to him? Guys like Matt Hamill show up and they barely even hear anything. In fact it makes almost less sence for Hamill to go to a press conference than it does for Diaz not to show up.
But I guess since “he’s always been that guy” it’s ok for Diaz?

It’s not like he got cut. The guy isn’t answering his phone, doesn’t show up to anything, what’s Dana supposed to do? Just hope that on some wild whim he shows up when he’s proven completely unreliable?
Let’s get this straight, the UFC expects a baseline of effort from all of their fighters and all their fighters comply. You think that Diaz shouldn’t have to even though all the others do? What’s further, Diaz knew what he was getting into when he signed with the UFC, and he knew that there was no leeway.
Diaz, ultimately doesn’t have very much self-respect and is self-sabotaging himself from success. I see people do this stuff over and over again. They get some great job or something and they go in and completely screw it up by doing the most easily avoidable thing ever because deep down, in their subconscious, they don’t really want the success that they’re capable of.
Also, if you ask me, Diaz’ belief system goes something like this. He’d never admit to this consciously, and many here are going to throw rocks at me for this, but:
He doesn’t believe he deserves to fight GSP
He doesn’t believe he can beat GSP.
He doesn’t really feel like he deserves all the success he’s capable of.

It's not really sad.
He’s 28 and doesn’t see what’s wrong with being an irresponsible twat. Maybe he has mental issues, maybe not, but when you look at him here he’s as coherent as he’s ever been and he just doesn’t give a shit that he didn’t show up for an obligation he agreed to when he signed the contract to “come into some money” in the first place. I love Nick Diaz as a fighter and honestly I think that taking him out of the fight altogether might be a bit harsh but he’s just being a dickhead here. Pure and simple.
What everyone needs to do is calm down, take a deep breath, and prepare their bodies for the Thunderdome.

I couldn’t give less of a shit about him not attending pressers. Before today’s festivities, I was arguing that him NOT showing up brought more attention to the fight than him answering generic MMA media questions ever would. I want to see GSP vs. Diaz, and would love to see it still happen.
My issue with Diaz is now that he took NO responsibility for being pulled from the fight. He didn’t say some personal stuff was going on (as in, the anxiety issue), he didn’t offer up any sort of reason for him ditching the show, and he took absolutely NO responsibility for being pulled off the card.
If there was ANY sort of semi-decent reason for him to not show, he could have told Dana. Dana would have been pissed, yeah, but I don’t think he would have lost the fight. So now, he wants to blame everyone but himself for losing out on this opportunity? Dammit Nick, c’mon son.

I really don’t give a shit who’s paying who. But I’m not convinced that Diaz has lost any money by not attending this ‘beauty pagent’. After GSP beats up Condit, Diaz will be back in the mix — maybe next time Dana will be more respectful of Nick’s attitude… maybe not — Dana White is an asshole who is not even coming close to maximizing his company’s profit potential.

Dude,
Do you realize when you miss a PRESS conference the entire PRESS will do their job in letting every single interested person know that this guy, Nick Diaz, is a loser flake who couldn’t even catch a flight to show up to a media engagement that would only benefit not only his wallet but viewership of a fight he apparently doesn’t care for?! And that the entire PRESS will most likely brand this guy as a LOSER STONER DUCK?
As 13-year-old-who-listens-to-Crass-“I don’t give a shit what people think about me” as we like to be—fucking up something monumental like the opportunity to face the P4P #2 Welterweight kingpin in the largest MMA organization is just plain dumb.
Also, not all of us are employees of Zuffa. We’re just able to see irresponsible idiotic actions for what they are, and understand the consequences of being a tool can be swift and just. You don’t have to be Dana White’s nut-hugger to understand those elementary concepts of real-world responsibility.

Blame the asshole who AGREED to follow through something, and backed out of it because he’s a coward and a loser.

No, Fitch wouldn’t be ready for that fight. Because we were going to do Fitch vs. [Matt] Hughes when Diego [Sanchez] fell out, but Fitch isn’t ready.

Yeah the way Dana is talking about
i’m guessing he’s thinking of signing somebody or something like a catch weight maybe.
Melendez or Guillard? I doubt BJ wants to fight at LW though so that would have to be a catchweight or something.
It’s a longshot but maybe Nate Marquardt? Dana gets over grudges pretty quickly if he can make money off it.
I thought Marquardt when he first said that, just cause it would surprise a lot of people. Not sure how it would work though, since he signed a contract with bamma
Yeah I was concerned about the Bamma contract too
maybe it’s a non-exclusive contract? probably not.
This
would actually be a great fight…

This is such a mess..
What a day. I understand the position of Dana 100%, but all i know is that I could go the rest of my life without having to see Diaz at a press conference and not give even kind of a shit. But I am genuinely sad and disappointed this fight is nixed. Goddammit Diaz, get it together.
Nick Diaz can go fuck himself
He’s acting like such a spoiled kid. All that he had to do was show up for his fucking press conference. He knew when he took the fight he would have to do press appearances, Dana made it very clear he had to “play the game,” & he’s acting like a petulant little shit that punched his brother one too many times & doesn’t understand why he’s grounded.
Did he not think Dana would pull him? Because we all know how rational Dana acts when pissed or when he thinks he’s been fucked over.
And not only did he fuck himself & the UFC over, he fucked over his fans too. The fans are the reason he got this fight now in the first place.
He's obviously got mental problems
That doesn’t excuse it, but it explains it.
Anderson Silva is, and forever will be the greatest of all time.
Where can I buy my Cerrone cowboy hat?
I understand that & can respect that
And I would’ve accepted that (sort of/maybe a little bit/not really) as an excuse, and I wouldn’t have written that if he’d come out & said “Sorry fans, I fucked up,” or would in some way, shape of form man up to what he did. OR DIDN’T EVEN SAY ANYTHING. But saying bullshit like “I’m sorry I didn’t make it to the beauty pageant,” and playing it off like this is crazy & he doesn’t understand why he got pulled, & shouldn’t be obligated to do media events on the sport’s biggest stage, in a championship fight against on of the sport’s biggest stars….that’s what drains me. He’s acting like a spoiled kid, and mental problem or not, this is not the route to go to get back into the good grace’s of the fans or your boss
And I'm sure he doesn't care about winning fans or his boss back over
And I don’t care because I don’t like him anyways & think he is severely overrated, but if he fucks up like this again he should be banished to BAMMA to fight Paul Daley & Twinkle Toes until the end of time
He only cares about...
getting high paid, but doesn’t seem to understand that he’s go to, y’know, do stuff, in order to get that money.
As an expert in mental problems…no it doesn’t explain it, it doesn’t excuse it. In fact it is insulting to people with real psychological problems that people equate what Nick is doing to people with real problems. Nick is doing it because he chooses to. His desire to smoke weed surely has something to do with it. Marijuana addiction is not a “mental problem.”

So Nick will gain 55lbs to fight Matt Serra but he won't fight Mayhem?
Jeez.

I think Serra's been training with Roy Nelson at the buffet
They’ve drilled single chicken leg “take downs” countless times…

Serious question, no fighter bashing or anything like that....but
Is he retarded? that’s pretty much what I got out of that video he seemed either really really high or mentally deficient. I am being serious that guy needs to see a therapist stat.
If you are retarded you are retarded. There's no cure for that, that's just how you were born.
Nick isn’t retarded—he may be off the deep end, yes, but he’s cognitive abilities are fairly on the same level as anyone else.
He may be an aspie, though. I mean, I think he may be an aspie.

Nick was gonna get that title shot
But he got high
He could’ve shown up, and he could’ve fought
But he got high
Now he’ll be fighting Jon Fitch and I know why
Because he got high, because he got high, because he got high

I kind of like the idea of fighters being made to fight Jon Fitch as a punishment for bad behavior

That is a great idea.
It’s basically a guaranteed loss, and no one will watch it.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
It was obviously a monumentally stupid decision to avoid the press conference. However, I can’t help but feel like the UFC has missed an opportunity to create even more interest in this fight, using these antics to paint Diaz as the bat shit crazy heel. It is the perfect contrast to GSP’s squeaky clean image. I think these sort of antics appeal to casual and hardcore fans alike.
Hit straight, hit hard, lift heavy.

I find the whole thing sad and fustrating the more i read and think about
It angers me that he seems to not give a shit he let his whole team down and his fans. It upsets me to see that this guy clearly has some mental issues to do this again and again. This is not normal behavior for a person that is all right up there, to throw away a chance of a life time and to disappoint everyone around you and to make it seem like a big joke. This guy needs help its that simple

Either way, as good a fight as GSP-Condit will be, I feel like I’ve been robbed of two of my most anticipated fights of the year.

It would be amazing if the UFC somehow wrangled Marquardt away from BAMMA to fight Penn. There is some bad blood there that would get me excited for that fight.

That would be a good fight,
but it would be really weird of them to pull Marquardt back in to fight, considering how they just treated Diaz (who didn’t even have drug testing issues).

Joe Rogan quit weed after watching this video.
He's Unreliable
The “Dana knows Nick Diaz is Nick Diaz” is silly. He agrees to show for a press conference and then fails to show. Are they supposed to say “oh well that’s just crazy ol’ Nick… at least we always know he never misses a fight”…??? NO. That would be crazy. Of course he’d miss a fight. I don’t care that he “always shows to fight.” He has exhibited behavior indicating that he cannot be relied on – period – whether to show up to fight or whether to promote a fight. They 100% made the right move. Its extremely unfortunate because he’s one of the most entertaining fighters to watch. But there’s more to it than that. What you do outside of the cage affects your ability to make a living inside of it – and whether you agree with it or not, its the complete truth. Maybe if he had a history drawing big PPV numbers, he’d still be on the card (or in the UFC for that matter). And maybe that fact is unfair. But what’s fair and what’s not fair is not at issue as it pertains to whether Diaz should be able to fight. He is the most self-destructive MMA fighter alive. He will regret stunts like this later in life. And for those of you who want to challenge that maaaan because “he’s independent and he’s his own maaaan maaaan” then just think about the opportunity he just lost out on. He’s crazy. And not just “oh did you hear what Nick Diaz said to Ariel Helwani crazy” but like legitimately ill. Why make a video? It would be one thing if he had a legit excuse, but I think Ceasar throwing him under the bus is telling. Not picking on anyone in particular, just a strawman. I just really wanted to see him fight. But now I’m glad he’s not and SOOO happy for NBK.

Caesar’s been enabling this behavior for quite some time. No surprise here really. Nick will never get a shot like this again, and maybe deep down inside he didn’t want this fight. If it was about ‘getting paid’ this was the biggest payday he was ever going to see. Considering his fighting spirit and entertainment value, this is wasted opportunity on a grand scale. As far as the actual fight, we know GSP would have spared no time putting Diaz on his back and keeping him there. So no loss really.
Sounds like Caesar is a little bit...

Cut Him
I was really looking forward to this fight, but he is emotionally unstable and has been enabled, as many have posted, for such a long time that his perceptions are skewed terribly. The fact that it was a press briefing has little to do with the fact that he cannot be trusted as a professional fighter whether it’s a press stop or anything else. Perhaps he is Nick being Nick, but that doesn’t mean a professional company is supposed to put up with that. Cut him.
WOW…sadly this will not be the last we hear from Diaz. This guy is so far out there that he may really go off the deep end. Dana did the right thing…how could he trust him to show up for the fight?

For all of you who think Dana overeacted!
IMAGINE IF NICK IS THE CHAMP…. and never shows up for ANY press conf. or galas or other events. What will this say about MMA where respect is so important. He does not respect the sport. He respects the fight. This is not just about fighting. UFC is a league, an institution. Nick is a great fighter and I looking forward to this fight. I am glad that Dana has balls to to the right thing, even for a major event like this one. Nick ONLY cares about geting paid. Whily money is very important, it should not be the only thing on top caliber fighter’s mind.

Not trying to hate on a fighter.....
BUT THIS GUY IS A FUCKING MORON!
ATTN: NICK DIAZ
said?
Once around the sun - cruising, climbing
Jupiter Cyclops winks at me ... yeah, he knows who's driving
Hit neutral in the tail of a comet, let the vortex pull my weight
Push the seat back a little lower, watch light bend in the blower
Planets align ... A king is born
I love Nick Diaz the fighter when he's fighting
And I hate Nick Diaz the professional asshole
I keep reading that "this is why people like Nick Diaz"
Really? How is this behaviour likeable?
I’ve never liked Nick Diaz (or his brother), but now I actively dislike him. First of all, he’s an idiot. And this overwhelming bravado mixed with apathy just isn’t appealing at all.
I can’t imagine why anyone would like Nick Diaz for anything other than his fighting.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
People who side with Diaz probably have crappy jobs and are unable to get ahead in life.
And themselves really struggle with responsibilty. Diaz obviously has mental issues, possibly alcoholism or some other disorder. Being a professional athlete is more than just showing up on game day.
If youw ant to “get paid” Diaz, be somebody worth paying you lazy stoner!

The Diaz brothers are punks. Always have been, always will be; it’s nice to see them finally being treated as such.
