Why do the Diaz brothers talk the way they do?

[real2124]

They often come across as sounding really uneducated..... Which part of da hood are they from?

 

[James Baller]

You know dey from Stockton dog

 

[GangstaBoogie]

Wasteland here we come!!!

 

[The real JG]

Have we seen Mr and Mrs Diaz?

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Stockton 209?

That might just be how the present themselves. I know when I'm around old friends and such, I talk pretty ghetto, because that's how I was brought up. But, in my spare time, I read books on astrophysics and shit, lol. And you can tell by my posts that my vocabulary is not insubstantial. I'm sure they're not as dumb as they may let on.

Weed is a helluva drug.

 

[El Hombre]

They are uneducated (in the conventional sense).

 

[Curly Peibce]

I only really stopped to think about it during the presser with Nate vs Conor... I don't think Nate was really coherent of half of McGregor's verbal attacks...

This makes sense.

Just because their words don't flow out eloquently doesn't mean their thought processes and reflexes in the ring are not top tier.

I have to wonder why Nate sounds a lot lot worse than Nick.

 

[SSBBrawler]

[Dragon Punch]

They both have a bit of a lisp/speech impediment. Smarter than they sound.

Hahaha, nice try!

As for the Diaz bros, I'd say a big part of it is they just don't like doing media work. Speaking in front of crowds is a huge fear for a lot of people, fighters can be no different.

I don't understand. What was I trying? I'm not saying I'm correct. Just a plausible theory.
