i think nick saw what his brother made fighting conor, and he decided that he's not going to fight, unless he's making somewhere close to a similar ballpark. nick diaz is a star. how much of a star, and whether he could carry a card on his own, is something i'd like to see. i think he could. if someone could tell nick to, "be himself", and really let himself go, he could make EVEN MORE fans, especially with the ufc moving to espn. someone needs to tell nick that he's leaving TONS of money on the table, while he can still fight at a high level.
