Todays photo of 185lbs Nick Diaz

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

no it's not fair to Robbie that's true.

At the same time Nick is not a real 185 pounder nor did he train for 185.

Wtf type of logic is this? Stop making excuses for the dude, it is what it is, I’m not saying he’s the worst person ever, but not being a “real 185er” doesn’t mean anything. No way you would be saying the same thing if a fighter you didn’t like pulled this shit.

Bro looks like he just went on a bender and came to take a pic meanwhile.

That's definitely the face of a guy coming off a bender than sleeping for 18hrs

 

[GrantB13]

Looks good physically. He's much fuller in the face these days. Hopefully it translates to a decent performance.

 

[Steve Fox]

He looks bad.

 

[kenetics]

He looks in shape. Looks a lot better than he did a couple years or so ago.

This. I don't think he had abs during his Anderson Silva fight. I might be wrong .

I fuckin bet you I would.

If a guy was retired for 6 years and came back on 4 months notice and he said I can't make weight and he's a star. This situation is hardly normal.

 

[Jopo]

I did already say though that it isn't fair and this should be a catchweight.

 

[SG123]

Coming off a 5 or so year layoff and beating a guy who has lost his last 4 in a row, well it wouldn't make logical sense would it? This is MMA though, anything can happen

What about the way the UFC operates makes you think the number 1 contender always gets the title shot?

Especially when it comes to their stars. Usman has already been calling Nick out. It’s his only money fight. Same for Adesanya.

 

[SG123]

No chance in hell.

Jesus, is that seriously something you believe

You’ve lost grip with reality

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Make your own assumptions, but he's looked big all month. I don't think there was ever a real chance of making 170lbs, if you are familiar with what Nick looks like on the scale at welterweight.

War Diaz

Since when is Robbie lawler a small guy?..

Lawler was probably happy to not have to cut anymore...

War both guys ...hoping for a good show..nothing more or less

I know how it works, the big draws get the big fights but even considering that this would be ridiculous.

Adesanya called out Nick Diaz? I must have missed that

 

[Jopo]

You’ve lost grip with reality

Just to be clear for everyone reading... This guy said Nick Diaz is given a title shot at WW and MW if he wins.

and he thinks i'm a moron.

When did nick diaz turn into carlos condit?

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

I fuckin bet you I would.

He decided to come back lol, it’s not like he was drafted lol. And he already proved he CAN make weight, he just decided NOT to. He also could’ve asked for 185 months ago, but decided not to.

Also the fact he is a “star” is a great point, that’s the only reason he gets away with shit like this, then he refuses to do media day and own what he did. The dude is a total diva, and then has the audacity to whine and complain about other people getting special treatment and makes up BS conspiracy theories to make excuses. They also give Nate and Nick 5 round fights when they don’t make sense to benefit them, and if they lost the entire fight but look fresh at the end they talk about how BS MMA is

Theres more I like about Diaz than dislike, but I’m really over all the delusional Nick and Nate fans who defend everything they say/do

 

[HHJ]

Lawler was probably happy to not have to cut anymore...

Thats not the tone robbie gave in his interview.

 

[JakePaulMMA]

I don't like the full beard Diaz. Bad vibes.

Nick Diaz as "Nick Diaz' dad".

I've been out of the loop for a bit. Has it been confirmed that Nick was the one who couldn't make weight?

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

Thats not the tone robbie gave in his interview.

No fighter that planned on making weight would be happy with that BS

how did he PROVE he can make weight.

You know what fuckin relax it's been 6 years. Give him a break. Benefit of the doubt he can't just make being a fit 170 in 4 months.

and for the last time in my opinion a catchweight is way more appropriate.

Yes, he requested that the fight be at MW.
