I enjoy watching Nick Diaz fight. His mma game has come a long way.

Would an awesome ninja warrior need excess muscle? Then how would be sneak off into the night and be nimble?

Maybe if Nick and Nate lifted some weights they might not be overwhelmed by every strong grappler they come across?

This is why I find Nick so interesting. He doesn’t want to be a performer or a guy walking around in a suit with an unbuttoned shirt underneath.

I mean, the Diaz boys still live with their parents! Think about that. Nick is my age, I haven’t lived with my parents in like 8 years and I don’t pull in the kind of money he pulls in when he gets a big fight. Clearly there is something going on with Nick that is just kind of coming from a sad place.

This is kinda why I see him as a real fighter. He fights with his heart, even if it is sort of dark and has a weird shadow hanging over it.

I always enjoy Diaz’ fights. I’ll admit I kind of enjoy his gloating there about getting the better of loudmouthed, juiced-up Lion’s Den wannabes with his jiu-jitsu. In fact that kind of reminds me of arguing with Snowden.

But mainly it make me sad to see Diaz come off such a mess in that interview. He describes himself as paranoid and (at one point) an “a-hole.”

In return for his fame and the opportunity to make a living as a fighter, the guy finds himself expected to act like a professional and not his idea of a “ninja warrior,” and for some reason this just kills him.

I realize he had it tough growing up, but did he really have it harder than Pacquiao? I don’t know.
