Nick Diaz opens old wounds on a dark day in his career
By Ariel Helwani@arielhelwani on Sep 14, 2015, 10:20p 310
Moments after the Nevada Athletic Commission handed Nick Diaz a controversial five-year suspension, the popular fighter opened up to MMAFighting.com, perhaps like never before.
Here's what Diaz had to say:
"I'm the only one who's invested in a fight life. That's why none of these other guys can ever say shyt. They're too worried about what their families and their wives and the people around them will think, so they're too scared to speak up. That's why I invested everything in my fight life. That's why I come off the way I do and always have.
Every other fighter has a life on the side. I've never had another job. I didn't graduate eighth grade. I could have, but I got into too many fights in middle school.
My mom and dad taught me nothing but ABCs. I was moved from school to school, put on drugs and made fun of by classmates because after being disruptive in class the teachers would always tell the other kids I was on meds and sometimes don't take them.
That's fukked up. You don't know what that does to someone. I wanted to beat up everyone in class, even the girls who would say some thing like, 'What's wrong? You didn't take your medication?'
I had to get inter-district agreements to stay in the same school because my mom would lose her house and I'd have to move in with my grandparents in Lodi.
You know what it's like move into a preppy Lodi school after being in a ghetto Stockton school with black and Asian kids?
They would try to get me kicked out and put me on drugs. My sixth grade class was the first school responsible for imposing all of the mandatory outfits for kids. There was no one like me there when I got in the high school. I would get in fights with kids from that same school and get kicked out of high school.
I had a really hot girlfriend and was very self-conscious about what I was wearing and couldn't afford nice things and got in fights because her ex-boyfriend was a year older and the mascot on the football team, so the coaches would tell the football players that I was bad news and they would start shyt. A lot of them were on steroids, a lot of them were Mexican gangbangers people who were on meth and getting stabbed.
Before anybody in my class made it out of high school, I was in a continuation, which I also got kicked out of because my friend Bart was also in the class and got into a big fight, which the teacher had to break up and did not want either of us in the school anymore, so I tried homeschool but that was never going to work. I was so far behind, it was never going to happen and by then I was training to be a pro fighter. My girlfriend knew it but had started dating Bart to make me jealous. He had a gun and neither of us wanted to piss him off because he would walk around with it.
Before I ever had my first pro fight, July 5, 2000, Bart had a party at his house. The night before, Stephanie had told me she loved me. After the party, I was gonna go back to her house with her brother -- he was my best friend -- but some friends weren't doing well and headed to my house. So I had to go.
An hour later I got a call from her mom saying, 'Are you with Stephanie?' She came straight to my house to get me, took me up and down the Frontage Road on Highway 99 by my Grandma's house next to their trailer park.
There was a wreck on the freeway. I jumped the fence and saw only one car and ambulances.
She had walked and killed herself on the freeway. The girl I loved more than anything had tried to kill herself for the third time and succeeded.
She was gonna go to college. She was an avid student and and was doing everything I couldn't while living in a trailer park where everyone was doing dope. Meanwhile, I focused my whole high school years worried about what her and her friends would think if I lost a fight to her ex-boyfriend and football friends. I could never make attendance, hung out with the wrong people to hold my ground as a fighter and someone who would fight for was important to me.
There was no way I was gonna go to school. I had no money, no car. I would have driven there and stopped her. After that, I was grown up. It was all over. I wasn't a kid anymore. I won my first fight in the first round with a choke and all I could think about was her, just like when I was in school.
I would run seven miles and back to her grave just to promise her I would make it as a fighter like she knew and had told me she knew and was proud of me.
So this sport and this commission have done everything to stop me from being in the position that I belong. That's the only reason why I haven't stayed in that position and come off as the fighter and person that I know I am and can be.
They suspended me for a third time. For five fukking years for something that makes the whole world a better place.
I've been investing in that understanding from the beginning. And I'm not going to start being someone that I'm not.
Honestly, I wanted to get up and walk out on the third question, but I didn't do that. Now I have to deal with that. These guys advised me not to do that.
I wanted to get up and tell them what I think about them to their face. I didn't do that. And now I have to live with that.
I'm the original Conor McGregor. I'm the original model of Conor McGregor. He wouldn't be who he is if it wasn't for me. Nothing against him. I'm the original real deal. I never did steroids in my entire life. I had to learn how to fight the real way and the right way. That's why I'm the best fighter in the entire world.
Guys like Conor, who are gonna make more money than me can see how to do it, as well as negotiate what they want in their contract using a team and agency and lawyers instead of their crooked jiu-jitsu trainer and coach, who was my manager for the majority of my career except for my last fight when I found the right agency on my own and signed with them, and I didn't even graduate the motherfukking eighth grade.
But in the end, I'm just upset I can't be there for my brother right now since he's gonna be fighting soon. It's my bad he even got into this sport and he gets his face kicked in and they don't even pay him.
I got us in this, and if I don't make any money, I don't have any way to get us out."

I'm pretty sure the suspension is going to be upheld by all state commissions. Nick needs to get released first (which I doubt the UFC will do) and then his best bet will be to fight overseas (in Japan, Russia, etc.). He doesn't need to though, his suspension will very likely get reduced.

that's not how it works since he is under contract with zuffa (ufc) they obey all commission rulings just like when the NAC banned wanderlei for life.He doesn't have to fight in Nevada
this is Nick's third strike he gave them a hard time from jump made comments about beating drug testing prior and keeps getting popped for the same shyt even after they raised the levels years back plus the brawls he gotten into outside the cage in strikeforce and wsof and his dui's all these things are considered before the ruling... They ran wild on him sure because on the new rules he was suppose to get 3 years not 5 but they made an example outta him and honestly he deserves it.
I don't see how when he got 5 years. Nicks lawyer is why he got 5 years because of the antics also trying and failing to sue them last time he got suspended
the ufc will freeze his contract and he won't be able to fight anywhere. If he does he and the company will be sued that's why wanderlei Silva is sitting on his hands not doing anything right now.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the slew of apologists that come out the woodwork anytime this imbecile lands himself in a mess of his own stupidity. He only fights to survive? Did you miss the point when he took a self imposed sabbatical because fighters would use strategies rather than play to his strengths? You don't do that when you are hungrynikka just fighting to survive...as he's been doing his entire life

nikkas aint allowed to step away from the sport when they are frustrated when how there careers are going now?
Must be a MMA thing, because alot of Boxers do it.
Again, yall saying he "deserves" a 5 year ban for weed. Mickey Bey, a Boxer I stan who's apart of Floyd's TMT, was popped for steroids and had a 30:1 ratio. He received a 3 month ban.
Nick Diaz just received a 5 year ban (57 MORE months than Bey) for smoking some herb.....you tell me how that's fair or what he deserves when a steroid user was given only 3 months in comparision
If the NSAC gave him a 1 year ban, that's fine...even a 18 month ban would've been cool. 5 years for something that ISNT a PED though?
