UFC 143 Video: Nick Diaz Not Happy With UFC Editing

PrintUFC 143 main eventer Nick Diaz was nice enough to give MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani a few minutes of his time, and the results were gold. Diaz has always been known as a unique interview, and he definitely lives up to it here. He starts off in a pretty good mood, discussing how watching the Primetime special helps to get him motivated, and he shares a couple of stories from back in the day about a teacher from the special.
His tone begins to change ever-so-slightly when he is asked about Georges St. Pierre though. He doesn't believe GSP is being genuine with his talk about rooting for Diaz because he wants to fight him:
"A lot of people are putting a lot of pressure on him to say these sorts of things, it's not really him."
After discussing the differences between Georges St. Pierre and Carlos Condit and referring to GSP repeatedly as a "strong guy", Diaz looked ready to head out. But Ariel had one more question, which took the interview from average Diaz interview to great Diaz interview in a matter of seconds. Helwani asked him if he's ever online, because he saw a video clip put out by the UFC and the first comment on the video was from "NickDiaz209" saying that was not what he said. Was that Nick? Yes it was. After thanking Ariel for bringing it up, Nick goes on a beautiful two minute rant about how the UFC edited the video, and even asked his brother Nate about they did it to him as well.
It's definitely worth a watch just for the rant. Check it out.

Thursdays always sort of suck. So it's nice to wake up to a Diaz rant.
Now I can start my day with a smile. Thanks!

How many top UFC fighters would remember a guys name from the Primetime camera crew? Nick Diaz cops more unfair flack for his attitude than anybody in professional sport.
And who didn’t immediately call bullshit when Dana White claimed St.Pierre was hyperventalating with rage at Diaz at the post fight press conference of the Penn fight?
Love it!
When he hits his rants or wants to talk about something the stutter fades away. He only talks with that awkward silence and stutter during interviews and mainly questions where he thinks his words will be misinterpreted.

To an extent, I'm the same.
If I’m uncomfortable or nervous I’m stumbling over words left and right, but the second you get me riled up about anything, no matter how minor it is, I go into a rapid-fire stream of rage and vulgarity.

It's about being comfortable
I’ve noticed when he’s more comfortable his speech is alot better. Like talking one on one with Karyn Bryant or a reporter he trust. Rousey said when he was teaching her she had no problem understanding him. In videos of him training, teaching, and interacting with friends there is little to no stutter. When he is around alot of people he ends up thinking a lot before giving answers b/c he doesn’t trust how media may spin it. And let’s be honest a lot of media are they hoping he will say something that can be easily misinterpreted.

i agree with diaz about gsp
no way does gsp care about what diaz did, or really want to fight him, or anything. gsp didn’t even really get mad at matt serra for taking his belt and insulting his ethnicity. he’s not an angry guy.
Diaz will take St Pierres anger, stamp on it a few times, drag it back to its feet by the nipples, Stockton slap it around the cage for a while, kick it in the balls, then punch that shit right back down throat.
Only thing that makes GSP angry is if they don’t have his favourite mousturisor in stock or if somebody else has rented wizard of oz when him and his boyfriend go to the video store.
Nick Diaz will destroy him.

What an intelligent argument.
Kicking in the balls is a very effective move in the octagon, I’m sure Nick will utilize it to it’s full advantage as well as punching shit right down throat.
BS questions
Seriously Diaz is just keeping it real. He just sees through all the ridicolous UFC hype always trying to create conflicts that aren’t real.
Just take the Sonnen – Bisping fight. Sure they took some small jabs at each other before the fight but Sonnen openly said “I like him, and I wish I didn’t”.
Then of course in the octagon Goldberg has to pull out his ridicolous comments like: “These men do NOT like each other Joe.”
The fuck?
Hey I actively root against the Diaz's alot but...
I love his interviews and I think it’s awesome it just says whatever the fuck he wants.

Not trying to get into a medical discussion
Just saying that everybody is different and just because a person doesn’t fit the normal mold don’t mean they can’t be a complete badass.

I agree with this
Honestly if they did that to me, I would be unhappy. Now if I didn’t understand social cues like him, I would go off, like he did. Nick is turning into my favorite underdog anti-hero type fighter.

yeah, he really is nice guy. People just put a spotlight on his social awkwardness so to speak, which is judgmental to me.Not everybodys perfect…naw mean

I almost mentioned him above
He just comes off too politically correct. People are starting to sense that he’s trying to be that perfect gentleman champion type. Like ’I’m so full of zen I never get pissed off…oh and my shit don’t stink :)"

Last I saw that gif, GSP was the greased up deaf guy.
Chael Sonnen has finished 1 fight in his 14 UFC/WEC fights. Is anyone in the UFC a worse finisher than the "great" Chael Sonnen?

Demonstrating his prowess as a triathlete, is Nick Diaz
