Former UFC, Supposedly Retired Fighter, Nick Diaz No Shows Charity BJJ Match

Quote :

There are three things in life that are certain: 1) Death, 2) Taxes, and 3) If left to his own devices, Nick Diaz is probably not going to show up to whatever engagement he may have at any given time.

Such was the case last night (Sat., May 12, 2012) at the Convention Center in Long Beach, Calif., when Diaz failed to shows up for his planned Brazilian jiu-jitsu superfight against Braulio Estima.

And, naturally, Estima is pissed off about it:

"I know he's supposed to be the big MMA bad guy and he's all tough, he's supposed to be showbiz, but what is this? When you make an announcement that you're going to fight for charity and you don't show up, what the hell is going on? It's not about showbiz. It's about being a good person. I don't know what is going on. ... I'm a professional athlete. I never thought he wouldn't show up. I came from the U.K., I made the weight, I made 185 pounds, I didn't expect him to not show up. I don't understand why he'd run away."

There's more to the story, of course. Diaz was reportedly told the day before the event that Estima would not be able to make weight for the submission grappling match, though that ended up not being the case. His trainer, Cesar Gracie, told MMAFighting.com he had no idea where Diaz was and no one was able to locate him.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fans know all too well what it's like dealing with the Stockton slugger, who lost out on a welterweight championship opportunity against Georges St. Pierre after no-showing multiple press conferences.

Not quite the same as Estima literally waiting for him on the mats in front of fans, but you get the point.

srce

Maaan not this shytt again....
Who knows wtf is going on.

Nick Diaz is the 11th Wonder of the World.

Flake. When you flake on me, you're dead to me. Diaz didn't flake on me though, so I can still make fun of him as much as I want.

Meh what has Braulio ever done in MMA? Naw nothing.... Brazillian BJJ champ? WTF is that? Its like being "full contact Karate champ" .... its not quite the real deal. Who do you have to fight to get that. Gracie JJ has shown that BJJ can't stand alone as a martial art in MMA. So really who gives a fuk. The only draw here would have been Nick cause... like.... this is the first time I ever heard of Braulio....

Braulio trying to make a name for himself, overweight fighting Nick....

Naw it all stinks, Braulio stinks, missing weight, failing to pay the charity and being a shady scubag make me come down firmly on Nicks side on this one.

DON'T TOUCH THIS ONE NICK!

HAHAHAHA!!!
This makes me laugh!

Vintage Nick Diaz.......

Huh? What does any of this have to do with Nick not showing up to a charity fight he agreed to? lol
