Nick Diaz did not play the game, replaced by Carlos Condit

Rob, like all of you should want to see the fight

Athletes have doen this before, but when it's the UFC we tar and feather the guy and everyone backs them, fuck the fans, no one wanted this fight anyway

Its the way he missed the presser, his overall sketchy behavior. Its not the simple fact he blew them off. His own handlers couldn't find the guy, its not like he was hitting the heavy bag or working on his groundwork with Jake, he was MIA and not communicating.

What do you want UFC to do? "Nick isn't here, we don't know where he is, his camp doesn't know where he is, but buy the PPV, we think he'll be there!"

Of course everyone wanted to see the fight.

But you can't turn the table and say the UFC fucked up. Diaz has to be a man.

Diaz screwed up but the UFC overreacted IMO

Fine him and move on, the fans lose in this and they shouldnt, please tell me how Diaz is worse than Rampage going on a rampage on 'energy drinks' almost killing someone and ending up face down with cops pulling guns on him, you think he is reliable?

[Warner2BruceTD]

The top salesman at your firm gets pulled over for drunk driving., spends the night in jail, misses work the next day. Mailroom guy does the same thing. One gets fired, one doesn't. Wanna guess why?

Who gets cut for missing practice, Peyton Manning or the practice squad QB?

Nick has no stock, last time he was in UFC he was beating up Joe Riggs in the ER.

[SHOGUN]

I agree that ZUFFA overreacted, but I can't exactly them for pulling him. Diaz should have given them some notice ahead of time that he wasn't going to show.

Press conferences are stupid BS anyway. It's always the same boring shit.

Rampage has been fine. He fucked up with that rampage but it's not like the police went after him with charges.

Diaz going on the lamb for days pushed them to make a choice. Blame him.

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Am I nuts or isnt this card at the end of October ?

You cut the fight because he went AWOL essentially 2months before the fight for a presser ?

So many ways to handle it they chose the immediate and emotional choice. If they didnt have this Fox deal the Overeem thing going on etc I doubt they do it. Alot of mainstream eyes on them so I guess they are terrified to make any questionable moves.

Bad decision even under the circumstances.

homie got scared


diaz is an idiot

[SHOGUN]

Diaz vs. BJ. Oct. 29.

[Liquidrob]

The UFC has jumped the shark again, so now Diaz is fighting Penn on the same card?

No point now and a clear over reaction like I said

[Warner2BruceTD]

I don't even know what to say.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Amatuer hour. Couldn't have been handled more poorly.

[SHOGUN]

Amatuer hour. Couldn't have been handled more poorly.

Yep. Pretty fucking weak after all the hullabaloo.

ZUFFA choked under the mainstream spotlight.

[Liquidrob]

That's what happens when a bell hop has to handle real situations
