Strikeforce: Diaz vs Daley - April 9th on Showtime

[EmpireWF]

If he's so underpaid, shouldn't he be pissed at Cesar?

If he's so overtrained, shouldn't he be pissed at Cesar?

If he's so overworked.....

"(About UFC buying Strikeforce) Honestly, I don't understand this whole thing. I'm way too busy training. It's hard for me to understand what's going on. But I knew there was a reason why I never strapped that belt around my waist. Whatever, champion, whatever. (Paul Daley) can have the belt. I'm fighting for money."

"I don't feel like a champion right now that the UFC bought this organization. I don't understand all that. I thought we were competing with the UFC. I thought my belt was potentially just as important as the UFC belt and we had the best fighters here (in Strikeforce); more technical martial artists and stand-up fighters."

"But now this is all about going to the UFC so I don't care about the Strikeforce belt. There was a reason why I never put that shit on anyways."

:facepalm:

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

He really is the dumbest person on the planet.

Diaz is the man, it's part of his charm

In a couple of the clips I read he is telling it like it is, the belts mean nothing, they're props, these guys are prize fighters, the prize is money, not belts

Rob I know you are smarter than this. He is burying himself, the fight, the title, and his company.

When protected properly, the best way to draw money is titles and title fights. This goof is cutting off his nose to spite his face, just like when they jumped Mayhem Miller instead of letting him build a potential main event.

If Diaz doesn't care, why should fans? He can think it, but he shouldn't say it. Those goofs costs themselves paydays then complain they don't make enough.

 

[Liquidrob]

Thats Diaz's angle, without it he is just another guy who puts on exciting fights

He gets paid more than most WW's, why? Because he has a following and they love the way he acts, he needs to do it more

He smokes weed, doesnt apoligize, doesnt show up for press stuff, fights in the hosptial, jumps mayhem after a fight, says he is overpaid and underpaid at the same time, says he wants the belt than says it's worthless and much much more, Diaz is the anti-hero and he does it well

So rob, when the champion says:

But now this is all about going to the UFC so I don't care about the Strikeforce belt.

Why would any joe blow read that and watch the show Saturday?

the same number will watch that always watch, joe blow doesnt watch Nick Diaz MMA fighting interviews, they just want to see some punches thrown

NICK DIAZ

I'm still waiting for someone in MMA to pull a Shane Douglas and throw away the belt.

Paul Daley:

"I stand here before God, and my father in Heaven tonight, as I said I would be world's welterweight champion. In the tradition of Pat Miletich, in the tradition of Matt Hughes, of Georges St. Pierre the man who'll never die, to the...B.J. Penn's, I accept this welterweight title," *pauses* "Wait a second, wait a second, of the toker himself Nick Diaz," *looks up to heaven* "this is it tonight, dad." *looks at the belt* "God, that's beautiful. And Matt Serra, and they can all kiss my ass."

*throws the belt down*

Mauro Ranaullo: "What in the hell is he doing?"

Paul Daley continues: "Because I am not the man who accepts a torch to be handed down to me from an organization that died, RIP, two months ago. Semtex Paul Daley is the man who ignites the new flame of the sport of mixed martial arts."

*walks over and grabs the belt that is then christened the ECMMA welterweight championship*

Paul Daley: Tonight, with god and my father as witness, I declare, MYSELF, Semtex as the NEWWWW ECMMA Welterweight Champion OF THE WORLD! We have set out to change the face of mixed martial arts, so tonight, let the new era begin. The era of the sport of mixed martial arts. The era of Semtex. The era of ECMMA!

Zuffa run Strikeforce has begun, pathetic as usual instead of business as usual I guess

lorettahuntmma Loretta Hunt

The @ufc has denied me a credential to cover @strikeforce on Sat. for @CBSSports #MMA

 

[Steel Mamba]

So fuckin shitty, forget a fighters union, there needs to be some sort of union for MMA media. These guys are the ones getting the shaft. You can't say anything bad about the UFC without fear of getting slammed by Dana and having your creds revoked. & the kiss-ass that goes on in the PC's is sickening. If I see Iole back off a tough question one more time Imma just stop watching the shit, it's pointless. Freedom of the press definitely doesn't exist in Zuffa.

this will never be a legit sport with zuffa in control, it's pathetic

they are the WWE of real sports and will never get passed it, they will cap out with the white trash dollar and never go beyond that

real journalist cant take this shit seriuosly the way it's run

sidenote: Brock on free TV can draw 1 million viewers, but some how he gets a milion plus to drop 50 bucks down? lol @ that, pro wrestling blogger numbers pass as FACT, please

The only way such an epic thing could happen in MMA is if the newly crowned champion was already a champion in another organization. Too bad Daley missed weight and didn't get the BAMMA title.

 

[Liquidrob]

we ready now

lol You know Nate is ready to step in there and whoop some ass if shit goes down.

Say what you want but the Diaz boys are fighters.

rob still trollin hard.

Brock isnt fighting anybody on free TV, and npbody has cared about TUF in years besides the Kimbo season.

The pro wrestling blogger gets his numbers straight from the cab/sat people you dope, the same place he gets them for pro wrestling, the same place people get them for boxing, the same plase MMApayout gets their numbers, the same place anyone who wants to put in the effort can get the same numbers.

I guess thecab/sat people are in on the lie too, they pay Zuffa extra money for all of those extra fake buys that they make up out of thin air.

rob dont be mad that Brock draws, at the end of the day it helps the sport grow. Stop being a geek, when you spout that goofy strikeforce forum nonsense you come off badly. UFC never even releases PPV numbers, anything you see in independant. Take off the tinfoil hat, there is no conspiracy. Nobody hears you chirping when Meltzer reports a bad buyrate.
