Nice to see the ufc attending a Nick Diaz show
Underrated comment of the video.
@@DrGlock-jd7dv ok
Haha, this comment is golden.
Nice👌🏼
I’m just glad Nick attended the Nick Diaz show.
In nick's head it scarier to be on press conference than in the octagon
I completely feel that i hate speaking in front of people but fighting is different the world can be watching its just me and them
Facts. Fighting is no problem its the show biz he can't deal with
I'm kinda the same way I'd rather be in a fight then have to do that lol
Haha yea
agree
Nick is so genuine. No games at all (despite the ufc media trying to provoke). A lovely human being, all the best to him this weekend, Go Nick!
Genuine enough to refuse to make 170 a week before the fight
@@marcusbailey3988 nah, he played Robbie. He never planned on making 170. The Diaz family only play by the rules that they make.
@@sergeantfirstclassb4998 Thats not very genuine then, is it? Lol
He sure is
He sure is
The less Nick Diaz wants to be asked questions the more he gets...he says anything and people go crazy. We haven't seen this kind of reception for any fighter in a lot of time.
The only other would be his Brother!
I like nick better I'm super excited and nervous
It is so good to see. In the past, even in like 2015 he always thought or assume that half of the people hated him or laughed at him or didn't care. I really hope the reception he gets on Saturday gives him the strength and confidence to win! The stadium is going to go CRRRRAZY!!
I like that Nick said if Robbie wins then he should be presented with the same championship opportunities he would get. That’s genuine
Man ain't anxiety something, if a OG like Nick has anxiety then who am I to feel sorry for myself.. Nick and Nate are always the heart of MMA
Took me a while, honestly at first I hated the Diaz Brothers. Watching Nate and his resilience and Nicks guidance, I've completely turned a 180... big fan of both and we are officially Watching Nick turn into the OG that he is. Saturday can't come any sooner, Stockton STAND UP!!
THIS ☝🏻
I was thinking that man might have CTE
Well said my brother
@@ragethevictorious3060 Ssme lol
The Diaz brothers have become MMA royalty on par with any other family.
Yep. Up there with the Windsor's.
Yeah Street Rothschild's for sure
They will definitely Rock-a-feller
Get m that bill of the gate
Overrated
It’s like a different guy, more chill, but still honest and real. They robbed him of prime fighting years though. 5 years was ridiculous.
still have hella accomplishments...imagine if he was active during those years
5 yrs no fighting was good for Nick his
Mentality and recovery after 17 yrs of combat he just said that in this press conference although he wasnt getting the support he’s getting 2 weeks before a fight there was more to life that fighting what to eat cutting weight ect
I understand that. The point I was highlighting was the punishment itself was ridiculous. We're benefiting now seeing him back though.
It got dropped to 18 months the rest was nicks decision
He only got 18 months though after fighting the ruling. The rest of it was choosing not to fight.
Amazing how nick is just plain proud of his brother no jealous bome in his body
People that are jealous of their brothers are not truly brothers
6:07 The Pink Suit Guy has a separate fan base 😂😂
He has to wear something pink at media events for the rest of his life lol
Two almost identical questions about his brother being more important. Weak
Nick is the realest to ever do it. Great striker, flawless BJJ and a cardio machine. Every Nick fight is exciting and intense. Great to see the great man back.
Flawless bjj? 🤣🤣🤣 Where was that against gsp
@@gamebred6995 So not being able to beat the greatest fighter of all time means he isn't great? Nice logic bro
@@zrizzle19 he couldn't do anything about gsp 🤦 this has nothing with being the GoAT 🤦🤦🤦
@@zrizzle19. Nick is a great personality, he’s a legend for what he did back in the day, but he’s not one of the greatest fighter all time. He’s talking about Usman? Usman would kill this man.
They're all on steroids, Nick. Diaz brothers are true martial artists.
Nick Diaz returning to the fighting after 6 years is to MMA fans what CM Punk returning to wrestling fans after 7 years is like for wrestling fans. Such a solid time to be alive
"It's nice to see a lot of support 2 weeks leading up to a fight, but what about the last 5 years, that's kind of how I feel. Of course I get a lot of "Hi"s and "Bye"s ... I've done a lot of handshakes ... I'd like to take some of those back"
He might be the deepest and most authentic fighter in our sport !
7:58 when nick diaz looked at dana I bet he was thinking should i knock this guy out instead for ruining my career
dana didnt ruin his career the commission did
@@ygbh5934 very true. Dana could of fought a little bit in nicks favor.
He definitely did
@@ygbh5934 LOL Dana could have helped him.
I bet he didn't
Great to see Nick. As someone who was old enough to remember him fighting its like Christmas day for me. True warrior no bullshit and won't get knocked out. What not to love. Sorry I am a fan boy just can't help it
dont be a fanboy because he "wont get knocked out." no fighter can control that, to love them for their toughness and heart? sure. Also Nick and Nate have both tecnically been KO'd.
@@jack11643 What a hater dude stfu stop reposting on everyone’s comment..
war diaz
Overrated fighter
@@agentgrey4407 how is he over rated he fought the best in there prime
Dana everytime he doesn't get kicked or punched during stareoff-"thankyou guys appreciate it" lmao
Lmaooo
@Romeo Walk I wouldn't wear my tinfoil hat to tight for this one lol
“ Its nice to see a lot of support like TWO weeks leading up to a fight.. What about the last FIVE years “
How anyone can not love the authenticity of Nick is beyond me. The world needs more guys like him 🙏🏻
His ban was only shameful for the commission that banned him! I can buy 420 next to my grocery store now! His ban should have been lifted the day it was made legal !
bro said he can buy 420 😂
@@ygbh5934 and.. we all no what he’s referencing don’t try be a smarty pants and be dumb about it
@@aroaro2642 know
Or as soon as Anderson Silvas was
100%.
I thought his ban should of been lifted they realised how many of the greats where juicing up in some way.
Not a knock on tj but am I wrong when I say he only got 2 years?
5 years makes so much difference, he missed on so many big name money fights, imagine a POV that had both the diaZ bros headlining haha, but seriously 5 years is a joke
Who doesn't love a Diaz chatting away, fighting or whatever.
But I'm going to be watching, and I think I will be hoping Nick wins. He deserves some financial gains and fame.
He really does.
At the same time, I don't feel like he wants it. He seems to be the guy who would prefer fighting in the underground than on a sell-out pay-per-view.
@@bigrandomun9267 I mean, no one is gonna turn down the cash he’s about to make. He just seems to really dislike being in the spotlight.
He's a millionaire!
@@leehiggins5803 from what?
I totally get what Nick was saying. These reporters and their questions are so stupid.
@Mmahardcorefan ?
@Mmahardcorefan got nothing to do with Conor mate.
Dumbest questions from the absolute most brainless talking heads.
No he's just stupid fanboy
I hated how that stupid pink suit guy cut Nick at the end.....
I’m going for Diaz but damn Robbie looks prepared asf
Nick is not winning this fight
@ super nice Says the gayest guy ever!
@@everfragozzo2649
I’m curious. What gave it away that I’m actually Tito Ortiz?
@@Autonomous_Don super nice bro
@@Autonomous_Don super nice bro
Who is Nick Diaz’s barber? Deserves a stockton slap for making that lineup slanted.
😂
I think his hairline is just naturally a little slanted lol.
cant lie his hairline aint recede a CM i know 19 yr olds whos hair’s receding
Probably Nate
Bro cracked me tf up
People are just excited to see nick Diaz back at ufc, he's been the whole hype train behind this whole event is already stealing the show ufc needed something like this for the fans makes an old mma fan watching ufc again thanks nick.
It’s like going back in time with this fight mad never would have expected this fight to happen
Lol this fight is so overhyped it's unreal. Hope it'll be a good fight
No disrespect to the championships lol Diaz and Lawler is the real main event!
7:38 and this is another reason why we love Nick so much 😂 classic
I love how they're trying to provoke Nick and he's just on another level, he doesn't give a fook
He’s probably way too stoned lmao
Cracks me up up at the end when Nick looks at Dana, doesn’t know what to do except give an awkward smile back
Nick diaz the type of dude that makes his boss nervous when he's around
And the look on Nick's face when he turned back around. That whole exchange was priceless.
@@jaxtaylor574 100% true. Dana has no idea what Nick is thinking.
Some one gotta make a caption for that moment! Super hilarious 🤣
To me, he barely looked at Lawyer... he said in an interview he doesn’t know why he’s fighting lawyer and whoever made this fight is an idiot. The look at Dana was like “I showed up, did your media BS, this is a stupid fight, next fight better be Usman or Masvidal or someone that I want to fight”
He’s always been known to hate doing interviews and media, and lowkey he’s super humble too which makes it a little awkward 🤣
People having sosial anxiety are akward. The thing with Nick is. Hé can talk fine without camera's but when a camera in his face thats what hé cannot deal with so much.
@@Sullitude87 he did fine to me 🤷🏼♂️ classic nick responses and spoke to each person that asked a question. Give credit where it's due. He isn't gonna blab his mouth off like people do for clout. He's got all the clout. Just hoping he makes it a good fight Saturday. Stoked for the Stockton boys return.
@@SammyJoeLouis no Nate has trouble talking. Not nick
Nate is 100 times worse
3:06 "Question for Robbie"
Nick proceeds to answer robbies question 😂😂😂
😂
Nick diaz is the main event in this UFC 266 period!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"And if I don't win I wanna see Robbie get the fight". Now that made me smile. Genuine to the core.
Nick was pretty funny when he said he'd like to take some handshakes back lol
There are some definite snakes in the entertainment business...sounds like he got screwed over or learned the hard way in the Brett interview....
First i was worried about Nick but as he took a deep breath at the staredown and looked after Robbie when he left the stage, i know that Nick is ready and all this 185lbs discussion was planned from the beginning. I just want to see a good, competitive fight, both of them are legends
Nick is going to get destroyed.
6 years is too long.
@@Paul-sl9zm Nick seems too nice or something
@@Paul-sl9zm
Lol, delusional.
8:00 encouraging/relieved look from Uncle
Love the guy yelling good question and bad question 🤣
That little glance back at the end of the face off.
Don’t for a second think he isn’t there, that glance back said it all.
It’s on…
Talk about nostalgia, back when UFC didn't have a bunch of vultures trying to over regulate the sport.
Deffo he does
The UFC felt so much better pre-mid 2015 with the whole Reebok nonsense. In a way USADA has also made fights less exciting as well.
Nick does well answering the dumbest questions in human history
Yeah, as if Nick is insecure about Nate's success. The two couldn't be prouder of each other.
@@Weakeyedominant He’s a bad old man trying to put the hate between the two brothers, if he knows how much nick loves his little baby brother he wouldn’t have the balls to ask him that question
The MMA Media have about 35 braincells between them all. Friggin cringe artists.
That question about "is Nate the head of the house now?" was just terrible and cringe. Reminds me of that time a reporter asked Kyrie Irving whether Lebron James was like a father figure to him LOL
No he doesn't but I don't mean any disrespect by that. He is barely holding it together.
Its so real that a person can be feeling more intensely about a media event, or press conference then a actual fight. So many people can relate to feeling that way about public speaking and being put on the spot with answers, saying the right thing, being over analyzed because we all judge ourselves the most out of anyone else in the world and we got to block out the noise and comments and thinking what others are thinking.. we all relate to that feeling.
Glad to be able to see Nick fight. Especially after Joseph and Carlos retired from the UFC!!!!!!!!
U both have done so well the only Thang anyone can say is I pray 🙏 that the best man will win
So good to see Nick, can’t believe he’s back!
Nick handled the conference so maturely! Very well done! Looked abit apprehensive during the face off but I guess we’ll see soon! 🤛
Absolute warriors! 💪🏽
Shut it Mor on
yytyor
Andy Wang is warrior
2:16 Kevin Iole was looking for that Stockton slap with that question 😂
wtf was he even thinking 0--((
Love u nick your a man of many words absolute legend 👊
I totally understand what he means when he says there’s more to life!
What a legend …. Team Diaz all the way 🙌
Pink suit guy coming back made it even better hahaha
absolute legend, glad to see him back...TEAM DIAZ ALL THE WAY
Nick is so humble...hope he does well
1:32 “terrible question” 😂
Haven’t watched these press conferences in a while, since when did the reporters become such flamboyant weirdos asking stupid questions?
CZcamsrs man, this is the age we have to live in...
No one seen the fifth element?
@@simonguerrero4091 Solid response.
I am so glad that Nick Diaz is back!!
Good to see him back! Amazing fighter
4:00 "Hey, it's the pink suit guy", what I thought in my mind as soon as I saw this.😂
Are they trying to turn nick against nate?
Felt like that they were baiting him. If it was the English press I'd say 💯 but I'm not sure if that kind of sleazy tactic happens as much in the the American media.
@@abdulm2609 lol delusional
When I see Nick in conferences and interviews then I realize that there is nothing wrong with Nate 😀
Best comment ahahh
Hyped for this one!
Now this as got me excited to watch again, like back in the day
Nick seems really switched on and sensible now, really hope it reflect well and he can still dominate in the octagon
He's mumbling and not that coherent.i worry for his brain health
@@goku-pops7918 show me a time in the last 15 years that either of the Diaz brothers haven’t been mumbling 😂
@@nathanarmitage5673 lol I hope that's it
@@nathanarmitage5673 exactly. Both of them have spoken exactly the same their whole life.
The humility and respect @ 7:58 📈📈
I still can t believe that this guy is suspended like 5 years in his prime ?!
Wtf
It was only like 18 months, the rest was his choice, he could’ve been back by summer 2016
Love 2 see this guy back . He’s totally underrated as a personality.
Big up from Albania 🇦🇱 !!!
Nick f'n Diaz this guy's great can't wait to see this fight wooooo
1:30 “terrible question”😂😂😂 they did John dirty
Just heard that 😂
Diaz brothers = 100% as real as it gets💯
Absolutely love them, Nick is a badass! I hope he dominates.
Nick is a humble human man i love him..God bless the diaz family and everyone reading this comment..
6:10 Dana realizing Nick's a superstar lol
Dana knew it 10 years ago
Thanks nick for making me love mma again
Casual
The Diaz brothers finally getting the respect they are due!!! So glad for both of them…
I love the guy in the background screaming 'TERRIBLE QUESTION', 'GOOD QUESTION' 😂
@7.58..., There seems to be something amiss here. Dana looks worried for Nick. Nick looks worried for himself.
I believe he's injured, Dana knows it, but the fight must go on! Hope I'm wrong and it's a classic.
Not at all, this is a pure motion of fight mode for Nick. Both brothers do this up and down body check. Like he said in the interview when I’m in front of someone it all comes back.
Yeah I've been feeling the same. Both fighters are really good but I do have some feeling that Nick doesn't feel confident. Not sure but I don't see that flame like before. Maybe he had matured a lot, has different views or even maybe just nervous since it has been so long. But looking at both I feel like I can see who will win but I am definitely going for Diaz. He's been through a lot and I feel like he needs this win. Luck to both.
He doesn't look confident and he's been out for some time so I'm sure like anyone else he's going through the motions. Once he gets punched in the face the light switch will turn on.
Nick Diaz True Legend Big Up💯👊🏽
Loves his brother handled the questions like a genius.
Nick Diaz aka I've done plenty of handshakes wish I can get some of those back...... What a legend
Everyone is completely overlooking Robbie. He's still ruthless!
I think it will be brutal for Diaz actually... people sleep on Lawler because of his last few fights.. but those were the absolute top dogs
and Diaz hasn't been in that realm for quite a while now...
super excited but I forsee a bad day for Diaz
but hell, I wouldn't mind to be wrong lol
It's because their boyfriend's back in town.. figuratively speaking
Robbie wins easy tbf
No one’s overlooking him. We haven’t seen Nick in 6 years, bro relax lol
@@mysticalbeing8943 Gotta wait til Saturday to know who wins
5:04 we got your back no matter what … what a guy and i agree
Man , looking forward to tonight !!
I never understood the games UFC played with nick diaz, he’s such a humble and stand up guy, can’t wait to see him back
He'd like to see Lawler, who's lost 5 out of 6, to get the next title shot if he doesn't.
I think he didn't even thought about that, he only said that because he already said he was gonna fight Usman if he wins, so in respect to Lawler he says that he'd like to see him get the shot if Lawler wins
He respects legends and badasses like lawler. Dudes who come to throwndown everytime… dudes who been in it as long as him
@@AP-yc4yz dudes who usman would possibly cripple in a title match 😭💔
Actually 4 but let's pretend diaz was on top of the game before leaving, he was on a losing streak 1-3, the best he did was bj penn who lost 8 fights in a row.
@@garyduncan442 Lawler has lost 5 of 6. As I said.
Idc if its win or lose to nick. I'm just too damn happy to see him back on it again!
6:58 "ok buddy" say that to Nick's face 😂lol
Nick an Nate. Gotta love them. Two greatest realist dudes to ever grace the octagon..
Nick is a troubled soul, as we all are, people can relate to him, that's why he's so fascinating imo
Diaz the main event despite being labelled as co main
I'm sure he doesn't want the spotlight since he's just getting back.
The text back of his shirt was awesome
After seeing him so nervous and humble I am a new Nick Diaz fan 😃 I only follow mma for the past 7-8 years only, so Im a half casual 🤷🏽♂️
not a single word did I understand from the crowd apart from 'Diaz"
WAR!!!! CANT WAIT! This will be my first UFC fight! We’re taking our son for his 22nd birthday!!!
Enjoy xx
If that unappreciative f🤬ck flakes.. hit me up pops!!
Thanks for taking me daddy
@@user-zt9lk9fx9r Oh god🤦♂️. Neither of us seem to pay attention to detail.
HER name is Mom of 2 😅
I love watching both fighters. May the best man win on the night.
The thing with Nick Diaz is this.
Hé is a very Genuin and good human being and hé can talk Just fine with everyone. But when camera in his face hé gets anxious. Its all about the camera's.
They've had over six years to prepare for this, and these are the best questions they can offer up to Nick Diaz?
They haven't been thinking of questions for over 6 years ffs
Nick looked at Dana white … 🤣🤣 Dana pissed his 👖…
When he said he'd like to take some of the handshakes back, haha! The both of them seem really cool, by the way. No matter who wins, I'd like to see these two around for a few more fights.
I could not hear Robby's voice till the end! At least one question like how is feeling about this fight would have been better
