Gentlemen (and ladies if you're lurking) in honour of this weekends fight i give you examples from the wisdom of Nick Diaz:
“Back in the day, a Ninja didn’t have his girlfriend sitting in the tree waiting to kill shit.”
“If I have a girlfriend, I don’t bring her to flaunt her. She doesn’t get to reap the benefits of me being famous."
"If you're getting paid more than me, I'm definitely more excited about this ass whoopin I'm gonna put down on you."
"See if people are gonna hate just cause I say the word motherfucker, then fuck them, I don't have time to worry about marketing and shit, in my last fight my hair looked like shit cause all I did was train... "
"Actually, on the contrary, my fight career has gotten in the way of my marijuana smoking."
when asked if he was high
"maybe i am, maybe i'm not.... maybe fuck you"
“I’m trying to fight Sakurai, I’m trying to fight K.J. Noons, I’m trying to fight Anderson Silva, I’m trying to fight everybody. I’m trying to fight Georges motherfucking St.Pierre. I’m trying to fight … I didn’t mean to call Georges a motherfucker, but I ain’t got no problem getting there and fighting the best people in the world. Georges is a nice guy. I’m trying to fight Jon Fitch, I’m trying to fight Silva, I’m trying to fight K.J. Noons, I’m trying to fight everybody. I’m trying to fight Takanori Gomi, Sakurai, I’m trying to fuck everybody up. Fuck this shit. This is fucking gangster fucking warfare. I don’t give a fuck. You know what I mean?”
-On the Joe Riggs hospital fight
"He started that shit dude. I was like "Come over here then if you want some, bitch. You can't see me you fucking pussy". So he started walking towards me and threw his hands up so he took an ass whooping. I told him he was gonna get smacked if he came over. He kept saying "Get your brother! Get your brother!" My brother was standing right there we could have jumped him but we're not like that. I ain't no bitch and I ain't no punk and I don't want to be a poor sport but I feel like I won that fight. I'm definitely better than that guy."
With regards to the Riggs hospital brawl:
Trigg - "You should have just closed the door Nick."
Nick - "How the fuck am I gonna close the door? I ain't no bitch."
For the record do you own a computer?
"After my last fight I bought one, I have no clue how to work it nor have any intention of chatting on here with you whores
"I don't call it a "training camp", I don't know where this MMA term came from. There's no camp ground, there's no tents...."
"If people can't handle watching me or they can't handle the intensity of my life or they can't handle me cussing saying fuck this and fuck, then you know, I think people really need to become a little more mature, kinda grow up a little bit..."
On Gomi - "That little fucker hit me with a Hadukan or something"
Where you at,George?
Where you at,muthafuka!!
"I’m trying to fight Georges motherfucking St.Pierre. I’m trying to fight … I didn’t mean to call Georges a motherfucker, but I ain’t got no problem getting there and fighting the best people in the world. Georges is a nice guy."
See what I gotta do just to get a fight?
"Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day!!!"
In order to love fighting, I have to hate it. There's no love in this without hate. You gotta love it so you want it so bad that you're pushing yourself to those limits, to where you just simply hate it. And if you aint there to where you hate it, then good luck trying to love this shit."
some of these are quite old and they're not in any order but all hilarious
