UFC 158 Pre-Fight Press Conference Video Complete With Nick Diaz

Wow George has a small head!

GSP is so pissed he can’t even think straight. I just hope he doesn’t let Nick get him out of his gameplan. I’m sure GSP wants to keep it standing to silence both Diaz and the critics. Not sure if that’s the best idea though.

I hate that Diaz always plays the victim. He is sure trying hard to get into GSP’s head.

that was alot of fun.

Hey look Carlos Condit and Johnny Hendricks were there too….and nobody cares….oh what Marquardt and Ellenberger where there too? lol. Way to go media not giving a s***.

Please murder this fool, GSP.

Why does everyone hate on Nick? No bullshit about him, he even admits he might not pass the drug test because he smoked a bit more than last time when he failed. Who else is going to admit pre-fight conference they might fail a drug test? Regardless of whether or not it’s a politically risky move, he’s an honest hardworking dude. He’s one of the top fighters in the world, you don’t get there being some tardo out of hicksville.

Strong keyboard warriors.

Also, always big ups to Bruno for all the content he posts. You rock.

nick is a terrible person lol. he is def going to get cut after this loss to GSP. I cant wait!

I wonder how much they test people around here!

Wow Dana the Douche dictates the press now . Ask only the questions I want you to ask my fighters and you can talk. Guys as big as a suck as Diaz is ….way to embarrass one of the best media guys in his hometown dick !

Awkward…

And douchebag Hendricks wonders why he is not getting the fight.

Playing the victim is a clear sign of insecurity. Strange coming from such a talented guy, top 5 WW MMA fighters in the world and he did what? Won his age group at the 2011 XTerra Lake Tahoe? Not easy, I did triathlons and races road and MTB years ago and those are super hard sports with TONS of pain.

Too bad Nick is such a head case.

@ ocho fett – LOL

@Gaudy, you couldnt have said it any better! These guys that talk s*** about Nick obviously arent aware of what kind of person and athlete he is! Just because he has a little anxiety at pressers doesnt mean he is stupid! Everything he is saying makes sense but sorry because the keyboard warriors can talk s*** and judge someone from their moms basement lol

talking s*** doesn’t help anyone win, if anything Nick will get his disrespectful punk ass kicked and kicked hard! God willing!

that was awesome dana puttin ariel in his place, about time & hope to see more of that hahahaha

gsp looked a little bit rattled there lol

What the F*** is a wolf ticket?, I’m too white to get that.

Nick his right on there GSP never had any f****** difficulties in life the f***** is from a quiet farm land for F*** sake
man!! i hate the french f****** 99% of the market is in ENGLISH
F*** Pauline Marois

Diaz is a cry baby. It would be nice to see the GSP from years ago that would punish people.

It’s hard to judge if nick is inside gsp’s head or if he is self destructing. Liked his points about wrestling, the score cards, the call for action, and how gsp lives in Canada. Gsp wanted to fight nick so here he is.

Very simple what Diaz is trying to do and that is to piss GSP off to the point that he’ll want to stand and bang but George is to smart for that.

@Lazer

But that’s exactly what Diaz is saying. “We all have to deal with this things in life… a lot of times it’s what makes us fighters.” He’s not a baby, he does what he can to secure what he believes rightfully belongs to him. He calls it like he sees it–and can you say any different about the state of MMA as it is today? Most of his gripe remains with the lay n pray game of many fighters, and while a viable strategy, it takes two to make a fight. (Jon Fitch anyone?)

It’s easy to point the finger at someone whose had as much success as Nick and call him a baby from behind your monitor when there’s no pressure, when your entire life isn’t unfolding before an audience of millions, and while your very character isn’t being called into question by competitors, peers, etc in a brutally psychological art.

Diaz is my boy but he is gonna get that once in a lifetime ass beating Saturday.

Wolf tickets.It’s a band in Canada called WolfMother.

Diaz press conferences are always fun.

WTF at Dana shutting Ariel up for asking why Diaz had a no show. The fans want to know, let Helwani ask the question.

lol I totally forgot Ellenburger and Nate were even there and fighting.

Also lol at Ariel “TMZ of MMA” buwhahaha

Nick did a pretty good job in this conference and was unusually articulate. He also apologized for missing the open workout and previous pressers. Hope he mixes it a bit and doesn’t just box. Can’t wait for Saturday night, great card.

Damn Johnny has some good size ears there ,oh f_uck he heard me son of a bitc_h. Well he don’t know I live in Atlanta,Ga so screw it, god d_ammit he just heard that to I got be quiet because you can’t get a whisper by those ears,fuc_k he heard that to.

if you want to know what a woof ticket is listen to E40 Game Related song “woof tickets” classic

Selling wolf tickets basically means talking s***, verbal intimidation

One the one hand, Diaz’s antics are somewhat entertaining, but the act is wearing thin. Grown ass man always complaining about not getting recognition, yet he constantly acts like a 2 yr old. GSP looked pissed, but more embarrased at getting drawn into a live trash talk contest (again). I don’t think he’ll lose composure come fight time.. The Nick Diaz circus act will come to a violent end on Saturday night.

First of all, thanks for looking up wolf tickets Jasonfn22. That brought a lot more sense to what Nick was talking about.
Just because someone works hard to persevere over a dark history of being picked on n becomes an outwardly warm n congenial person as GSP has doesn’t mean that the nerves that built around the initial assault can’t be accessed again. Nick has definitely found a psychological chink in GSP’s armor n GSP is definitely a bit shaken. When he asked Nick, “Do you think I’m scared of you?” he definitely was. I’m not saying he can’t overcome the adversity, but Nick is under his skin. GSP IS angry – because his vulnerable childhood self has been exposed and he is insecure.
Nick, on the other hand, seems to have severely disrupted n disorganized thoughts, often almost totally incoherent n likely a reflection of PTSD. He appears to have a paranoid n delusional sense of being backed into a corner, as though he were continually in danger. I get the impression that in a twisted way, being in a fight gives him a sense of being able to maintain control of himself. In facing the danger head on, he doesn’t have to wonder where the danger is coming from n can kind of relax. Kind of. At least it lets his mind become intensely focused on the moment. Another way that this interpretation fits is that Nick needs his opponent to be a genuine enemy. He doesn’t really become absorbed by something that is purely in competition where there is no animosity, because that doesn’t let him access the fight response (think fight, flight or freeze). Nick is fighting in a streetfight that might kill him n has some intensely hyper-alert instincts. He needs it to really be a situation where his life is on the line. I’m sure that he actually has had a friend(s) shot by a .45 n looked down one that was being pointed at him.

After watching this press-conference, I mostly feel compassion for both of them. These are two of my favorite fighters n can’t wait to see what happens on Saturday, but they are both human and have both suffered a lot in their own ways. I think GSP ultimately understands that n maybe – I hope – Nick does too when he’s not engulfed in media frenzy.

There is no other fight that matters in the eyes of the media?! Only one question for Johny (with one n) Hendricks. Was Carlos comforting GSP? I feel bad for Jake Ellenberger and Nate Marquardt. Those guys actually fight.

@Facefrack- good outlook on Nick’s odd behavior. I still have no compassion for him. I grew up in fairly bad environment with friends dieing in bad ways. Tough sh!t. Georges got it right but forgot to add pitiful, “uneducated fool”.

This is probably one of the best Nick Diaz interviews I’ve ever seen. Most of his points hit home, and he actually seemed to be composing his sentences well while delivering his points quickly. I really do think he’s getting into GSP’s head. Not sure how much it will help him against the lay and pray, but we shall see Saturday

I’m fighting all the hitters.

That was easily the most entertaining pre-fight press conferences I’ve seen in years. I was already going to get the PPV, but Diaz just sold me a ‘wolf ticket’ anyway LOL, and now I can’t wait! Now more than ever since I’ll have a DISH Hopper, and UFC 158 will be the first card I’ll get to watch in peace in a long time. As a DISH employee, I was elated when we released the Hopper. Partially because it can record up to six shows at once during primetime which is unbelievably convenient for instances like this. So tomorrow night my wife can record her shows, the kids can catch theirs, and I’ll be able to focus on the fights at the same time.

This was the Nick Diaz Show, He Got The most questions Hands Down !

The problem with Nick I think, it’s that he thinks the whole world is conspiring against him to fail.

I love the guy, both of them, but man!! Nick, stop crying about the world already.

Now for the fight, as a GSP major fan for years, I am slightly going for Nick on this one.

Cardio wise, I like to believe that Nick got a little more gas tank than George. Just a little.
