granted the fight has not been made yet, but the Shertards who claim that Nick is "stupid" and "ruining his career" by sitting out may want to rethink their short-sighted criticisms.
Nick lost to Condit, took a year off, and came back for a title shot vs. GSP...loses that fight, takes almost two years off, gets a PPV headlining slot vs. Silva...loses that fight, takes 2.5 years off, may walk into another lucrative fight with Silva?
yeah, that Nick Diaz is such a dummy isn't he. Same shit with Nate. It may suck to be fans and not see either of them fight as often as we would like, but sitting out makes a lot more sense than some of their critics are willing to admit...
