Yup all before time runs out or your moment is gone

Man he just summed up the way everyone feels. Are we all in a depression? All the good BJJ and MMA gyms closed, he invested so much into his academy's. If it wasn't for this fu#$ing pandemic, he would have been so successful. I hope he starts up another academy, I love his style of jits.

Yup everyone needs Jesus. Dark times we are living in. Jesus is the only way truth and life.

Yeah man, I’m worried about him. I’ve been a long time fan. He reminds me so much of myself. His head isn’t in the right place, you can tell.

You def not nick. Shut up

Best part is ..it all makes sense.

Beautifully put.

Especially for those of us who grew tired of Course antics

Oh wow You’re such a great analyst I would buy a code I don’t say anything I wouldn’t say to your face. How bout u

It’s called a love hate relationship pretty common

Same man

He needs him coming to the fight fat proves he deals with a demon that thinks it can do whatever it wants.

Can feel it as he speaks. I touch and agree with you in prayer for nick

What a wonderful thing to say, God bless. You spoke the truth

praying for someone is huge and shows that u really care about them. God bless u man

Do you think you could explain that? I didn’t understand what he meant

@@L_cca It's quite obscure what he meant and we can only infer. The Diaz brothers don't share much about their history and life, but sometimes people coax them to speak. Nick has had a very tragic life, and includes things like his girlfriend's suicide and more horrible stuff. I believe he feels left out from society to an extent. He's tasted the bitterness of life and can't understand how everyone around him pretends it tastes sweet. He's not playing the game of "im fine, i have to look fine externally I have a fight to sell". This isn't show business for him, it's his life. He didn't have a choice and picked it, it's the only thing he found out he could do, or knows how to do. I believe Nick wishes he had more options in life, and we as his fans wish life had been a little kinder to him. He definitely isn't your average joe, and he certainly feels that. It's probably harder for him to connect with people, especially now that he's famous - a lot of people get close to you just for the fame.

@@netharias6456 he was punished over weed, at his PRIME he was taken out. than Mcgreggor comes in the picture making millions all while Diaz been in the game longer, the sport hasn’t been good to him. For all we know he might be broke he’s just coming because he doesn’t know What else to do to make money.

The bad part is that "regular people " will always be clueless to what he is saying . They will not and can not get it .

@@netharias6456 well said my friend. Cheers.

You absolutely right

Agreed!

I tell you now Nick has me with a glint in my eye man 😢

Right in the heart

@@gandishshiznil yeah this interview got me sneaky teary eyed

That line hit hard, no pun intended. Truthfully this man has so much heart, and it literally bleeds from him in the cage and well outside too.

Anyone who loves their younger brother feels that to the core.

This man loves his little brother so much

Which fight was he referring to?

@@Pulsed101 edwards

I never feel confident two minutes later i would beat the shot put of usman thats an easy fight lol love nick

He’s said the same thing his whole career.

Same man but I just hope he wins tonight

Nick is only speaking what all fighters are thinking. He's just honest about it. That's the last thing I'd worry about. The only thing that's concerning to me is the fact that he doesn't want a trash talk or talk sht. If you're a fan of Nick's then you know that has always been a way for him to psych himself up because he doesn't like to hurt people. So he's always said that he has to convince himself he hates the person so he can go out there and beat them up. I'd be a lot more confident if he would talk a little sht. LOL

Agree 100 mane!

Helping others is good. He just needs to find balance in all of it.

Yes I think he’s gonna let years off bottled up aggression out on lawler but lawler can catch him and ko him hats off to whichever man wins

It should have been an hour at least.

@@victorc824 Nicks an introvert it would take alot out of him.

Blame the NSAC for robbing Nick of 5 years off his career. All for weed! Yet, you got guys like Jon Jones getting away with hella stuff.

Needs guidance. The Quran, leads to the creator

typical anxiety. hes nervous up until it then you realize its not as bad and you get comfortable

@@irishscience580 It’s normal. Mike Tyson said he use to cry before every fight and always thought he would lose, Gsp use to cry as well, Ceronne throws up, Rose cried right before her walk out when she KO’d Joanna. It’s normal, I just know Nick is gonna be a dam savage when the bell rings

@@firstnamelastname-ko3ge Stop, he said that he is crying because he dont like his own personality in the ring, not because he thought he gonna loose this fight.

Yeet

@@peterhans9520 he's lost it seems.

I'm sure he does, but regardless, he doesn't seem to derive any real enjoyment from the game.

@@FahimAhmed-xj9lq yes he does but he frankly does not care about the fans love bc whats in it for him?! That was what he was alluding to even when the interviewer asked him about the fans he ungenuinely said "i love you and i appreciate" in the fakest way possible lol. He seems to be going through some tough times i really hope he overcomes this as fast as he can.

@@itaachiii whait what? He admitted and clarified, that him saying "i love you all" is not the truth - 18:26

He does. We just do not get how tortured he is and why no one can actually help. Demons think they can do whatever they want to talented individuals and baby the ones that are willing to beg and worship.

Lol calm your tits

He needs fans like you. Him showing up to the fight fat proves he is still tortured by a demon he only came in contact with through the UFC.

Exactly

@@notaburner5002 donuts

Makes me feel guilty for wanting and begging him to come back ever since he got off his suspension lol

It's like there are two Nick's and they are at war with one another, you can see the gears turning in his head and the constant back and forth battle. I really like the dude though just like his brother he is a real one.

💯in a good way.

brett just sucks

This is not a therapy session

@@blakereigns246 Definitely in a good way.

Yeah, I could feel a lot of sadness in him. This feels pretty tragic if I'm honest. Like, the motivation feels all wrong for this. I hope he'll be okay after.

Me too bro

That's kinda weird.. he'd probably slap you for that

He' need help especially after that beat down 😭😅

He is my little baby brother

Just what he sells in Nick Diaz merchandise leading up to this fight is more money then most fighters will make for headlining

Fighting is a way out... Kinda like the biggy line. " The crack rock or a jump shot"

But he is! He is so articulate I couldn't put feelings into words like he does do vividly. You just can't relate that's all

He's a poet... The words in his head just have to come out. We only get a small glimpse at an amazing mind

@@issacnewton7059 And the fact he’s so honest and open about the way he feels, just not something we see very often in combat sports. It’s refreshing, honestly; whether someone agrees with what he says or not

seems pretty articulate to me. sincere like a child. even the most academic humans typically aren't capable of that.

haha that wasn't Caesar Gracie. put some respect on my man Steve Heath's name!! ya noob.

🙏❤

Nick and Nate eat the big shots but give out bigger beatings- RESPECT-

He’s spoken before about fighting so his brother doesn’t have to. I think seeing him talk about watching Nate get pieced up by Leon really shows that too. I think he got this Robbie fight because he felt responsible for that. Like he thinks he should have been doing that with Leon, and Nate should have been protected by him. I think we’re seeing Nick fight for all the wrong reasons this weekend, and I don’t think it bodes well for him.

@@TehCream I see my small sister cry over some stupid things I feel bad imagine having your brother going to war and getting hurt it isn't easy for anybody he shouldn't fight for his brother or anyone he should fight for himself I believe Nick has enough only he doesn't look like a guy who throws money and buys stupid jewelry and he also has his own successful academy fighting should be for yourself not money or fame

@@rohansharma3663 He has his own successful academy? Why was he talking about starting one here, and said it never got started?

@@TehCream only guy I've seen who gets it so far. I agree with what you said entirely, we all remember the bravado of the Diaz bros, they were at a certain point in time, far beyond anyone in MMA. But that Leon fight with his brother really showed how far the sport has progressed. It was a timing issue for Nick and at times he really sounded bitter in this interview, its understandable.

Watch it be an act lol

How would that make it any different? Fighters know and have opinions on the fight game, beloved or not.

I don’t think he does, maybe after the fight he will realise how many people support him, but he’s just been in the UFC to fight, nothing more and nothing less. He’s always hated interviews because of how he’s uncomfortable on camera most times.

Doesn't matter how beloved you are if you can't even be happy for yourself. Same thing happened to Robin Williams

@@atom-bomboriginal6387 true. it shows you can have so many ppl love you and still not be happy. Nick still has same mentality that Everyone is out to get him. Everyone screws him over like no one likes him. Thats just his mindset. One min he says one thing the next he contradicts what he just said. Hes always complaining.

Same here, walked out of the bathroom of a club in Sacramento and Nick was against the wall, just chilling. We took pictures, he talk to me about, Woodley and TJ. He's hella cool.

I mean to be honest, Nick kind of gets that part out of you. He seems to be struggling a lot.

Exactly what I was thinking

Literally

Brett ruined this interview

He's a great interviewer.

Brother that’s not honesty. That’s a neurological degenerative disorder probably due to trauma and massive amounts of weed. Him wanting to fight Usman after a 6 year lay off? Cmon. That’s not being genuine, that’s delusional

Not being disrespectful either

@@rudyallen4 Well that’s clearly not the part I was talking about chief. Obviously I meant the part where he’s talking about how nervous he is and always has been before his fights.

@@jking8025 fair enough and I agree 👍

Yet he didn’t do it for years even when suspended was reduced years ago. He’s a walking contradiction

@@albinomallea334 after this fight you won’t see Nick for 3 years. And I’m a fan since early 2000s

@Cheese Cake you liked your own comment and I’m the fool? Every fighter has a life outside fighting. Nick just isn’t mentally consistent for many years with it.

@Cheese Cake what life outside fighting and making his money with his stardom high? He has no wife no kids he spent 2019 living on Instagram drinking and partying in Vegas. Don’t make excuses

It makes me sad that he feels that he isn't good at anything else....

everybodys praising him and nobody sees it. hes depressed, you are right. he is the typical athlete who struggles after his prime with the second half of his life. Nick should not fight anymore and find a new passion.

It does seem for monetary reasons. Sux.

The absolute truth! He’s doing it to please others.

I agree. This might be a tragedy in the making.

Lol comparing yourself to Nick Diaz.

Dis is not a terapy session

Absolutely absolute legend it's a shame, anxiety sucks.

Every other sentence out of his mouth is contradictory. Dude's brain is messed up. Sad to see. He shouldn't be fighting. He doesn't like it but he also feels entitled but also he should be fighting Usman. Dude hasn't won a fight in literally 10 fricking years. TEN YEARS.

He’s battling stupid questions in these interviews too

I can see that in this interview!

He definitely has CTE poor dude

@@gypsykiing2013 really stupid questions, Brett is an amateur

He knows what he wants, it's what he lacks to get it, like accounting knowledge, business knowledge, etc, he just wishes people give you what they say they will and would quit exploiting those who don't know anything, for everything they are worth. That's what he regrets, not learning thing else but fighting. Because now he is having trouble navigating the convoluted world of greedy wolves in sheep's clothing....greedy rich people are the real wolves....the fighters in this game are the jesters of a different time....expendable and underappreciated.

I could relate to that quote the most.

Sucks that they screwed him over with the school. I think if he had found some honest business partners to run the school with, he would have been in a better place today
