Rumored Is Nick Diaz really fighting Luque..?

[NoSmilez]

Nick got a bigger head now. It wasn't like this back then.

 

[tasticles]

A quick RNC finish would be the best outcome , doesn't matter by who but Luque has to be the overwhelming favorite .

This fight should not happen unless Nick is in hock with the mob

From my understanding Luque is suffering from brain damage already. That could be a game changer for diaz to get a stoppage or sub if his neck is ok.

Nick has fought twice in the last 11 years. He effectively pissed away his prime. Who cares at this point? He hasn't been relevant in a decade.

Most of the die hard fans are also in their 40's. They know the time is up. It was fun while it lasted and the cardio + jiu jitsu + 1,000 punches per fight made amazing entertainment that will live on in their minds, and eventually fade away into the sands of time.

I certainly appreciated watching him compete.

To fully appreciate what a F'n badass Nick is, imagine being toasted on some really good bud and you agree to step in the cage with Anderson Silva...

then doing it and remain conscious after making it to the end of the fight.

C'mon man, it's way deeper than that...

Imagine being so fucking baked right before walking out to fight Takanori Gomi. Stoned as fuuuuuuck. Then slap on a submission after out boxing "The Fireball Kid."

Then someone saying you were SO DAMN HIGH, you were incapable of feeling pain, which we all know is bullshit.

Nick Diaz also beat Carlos Condit but that night, mileage = points in the cage.

Nick needs money. Nick is doing really, really bad and has been doing bad for a while now. After he stopped fighting he became a self admitted alcoholic. He ran into a lot of money issues with pass taxes not being paid. Now that he's not in the spotlight anymore a lot of his "friends" aren't anyway to be seen. He's had more than a few domestic violence calls to his house.

It's a really bad story. Nick himself said that without MMA he would've even up in prison. His life now lost fighting hasn't been good so Nick is probably asking for a fight to get his life back under his control and structured with training and prepping for a fight.

Nick has a major advantage over most older fighters -cardio.​

Tri-athlete training for any fighter is extremely rare. Not a single one would ever swim a mile or run a marathon, much less cycle 50 miles After That as part of their fight training.

War Nick!​

He is a great 420 example to his badass brother Nate, and to Every Professional Sports Athlete!

Nick, with kudos to fellow warrior BJ Penn, were the Real Deal before fighters only lived to fight - at the expense of living their best partying and fun lives.

Nick Diaz is a joke now. Dude shouldn't be fighting in any professional MMA organization.

 

[Cooliox]

Maybe Nick wants to finish out his contract?

Or maybe he’s just broke from partying with Ronda

 

[BluntForceTrama]

He needs to swallow the pride and ask baby bro to borrow a few duckets.

give this shit up already. its over, Nick....its over

That might be the only explanation of why they're trying to make this fight.

Rather than making a match that sells.

Seems odd to waste a massive name like Nick against someone nobody knows.

I don't think so. Technically speaking, he looked pretty good against Lawler. Threw like 500 punches.

He had his wits and instincts about him, was reasonably defensively responsible.

Just looked slow, which could be attributed to him being out of shape / injured.

Nate has had worse recent performances and is still fighting.

If Nick shows up in shape and the matchmaking is reasonable, I could see him getting a few wins to close out his career.

Presumably boxing after his contract is up is the goal.

Bro he actually quit on the stool.

Think about all the encompasses Nick and think about the significance of that action.
And when was that Lawler fight? Im not checking but it feels almost a year and half a go or two.

This comeback has always felt like he's had one foot out the door.

He had a broken neck going into the fight.

The significance was obvious...

he needed surgery.

 

[CasualBot]

He's had more than a few domestic violence calls to his house.

"More than a few" is a stretch,
considering it was once...

And was dismissed as false accusation.

After the crazy (chick) changed her story three times before a jury, admittedly because nick was sleeping with her friend.

Come on now.

Off the top of my head I know he had cops called to his house for domestics in 2013 and 2018.

Don't recall nick having any domestic charges or calls beside 2018.

(Maybe you're thinking a dui?)

Definitely not "more than a few"
and 2018 was bullshit by all accounts

 

[achoo42]

Genuinely though, who tf actually wants this fight? Nick vs El Cucuy was so blatantly obvious

Dana doesn't like to do legacy fights unless it involves Jon Jones
