Talk:Nick Diaz/Archive 1

barebones write up?
This article says barely anything on the Noons rematch...

RANKING Edit
Nick Diaz is now universally ranked in the top 3 post-UFC 137. Aside from Sherdog, MMAWeekly & USA Today wherein he's #3, he's ranked #2 across all rankings.

Untitled thread
There's been some attention to this page since the hospital brawl, which I guess is good. I edited out the part about Riggs getting knocked out, because I listened to both fighters versions on the radio and a knock out is probably not the best description. Both Riggs and Diaz said that they locked up and wrestled after the punch was thrown, which is tough to do if you're out cold. Diaz claimed "he dropped him", but then said that Riggs took a leg right after the punch and tried to take him down. Riggs said he wasn't expecting the punch and it knocked him down, but he immediatly went after Diaz. I think "knocked down" is the better description. I really liked all the other edits.


 * i dont love the detail, it just doesnt seem encyclopedic, but i do appreciate the NPOV nature. i know the forum post is a transcript of a genuine media interview, but i guess quoting it and discussing the altercation in such detail seems rough to me. at any rate, i am certainly able to handle it if other editors think it is fine – assuming there are other editors who pay attention to this page.

What's up with the summary at the top of the "MMA record" table? The wins/losses don't add up, and are different than the one at the top of the page. As of this moment the table summary says: 22 Wins (16 KO's, 2 submission, 4 decisions), 2 Losses (2 submissions), 0 Draws. By my count in the table, it is: 13 Wins (6 KO's, 5 submission, 2 decisions), 6 Losses (0 submissions), 0 Draws.

the josh neer fight
if diaz pulled out of the john alessio fight to take the josh neer fight in the ufc, then why does the article say that alessio pulled out of the match? wouldn't it be diaz that pulled out? that whole section is confusing and should be cleaned up.

Nick Diaz is awesome
This is a fact.

I just did an overhaul of this entire article, just forgot to log in like an idiot. Let me know how I did... jayc948 15:04, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Method does not match result.
The method "gogoplata (submission) can not result in a no contest (the listed result). The listed method should be what brought about the result (Diaz failing drug test). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.2.200.118 (talk) 20:53, 23 April 2007 (UTC).

I think we should also mention how that ruling is BS and how Dr. Alamo is a psuedoscientist because Diaz was obviously not intoxicated at the fight. Hmm_Sprinkles

Nick Diaz recently did an article for Weeds magazine no joke,he was high, and still beat gomi somehow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.35.195.73 (talk) 05:26, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

OK if Nick Diaz really was high during the fight which I doubt allot. I'm sure he was smoking like a week before the fight to relax after a 8 hour training session. There is no way he smoked before the fight. You honestly think he was hitting a bong in his dressing room going "oh yeah, this is going to help my hand eye coordination." No friggin way. Weed stays in your system so friggin' long. The test isn't to see if your high at the time your taking it. The damn thing comes out positive if you smoked two days ago or even two weeks ago. So to be fair that is a incredibly inacurate way of testing. The pride doctor was saying that the THC would have had a pain killing effect helping him win the fight. I'm sorry it is THC not oxy cotton, PCP, or something like that. That doctor is RETARDED as a M**** F**** if he really thinks that. Weed has got NO PAIN KILLING EFFECTS. In my opinion it is just an excuse for the Japanese pride fans to keep Gomi's win loss record as clean as possible. I say the win should count as two wins if he was high during the fight. That would be a major disadvantage. Nick Diaz is the shit and I think it's crazy that they can steal a win he EARNED by testing to see if likes to smoke weed. Who don't like to smoke weed? That's just stupid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.0.255 (talk) 18:04, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * While talkpage is for discussions related to improving the article not general discussion about the subject, I'll just add this: the fight happened in Las Vegas and was regulated by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, so the NC had nothing to do with PRIDE.

Recent edits
Someone with more knowledge of Diaz should look over the recent edits by. Changes/additions like... ... needs to be sourced, but I don't have time to look at it right now. -- aktsu (t / c) 21:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * "despite the fact that Jackson seemed to be dominating the fight up until the submission" -> back and forth fight that Diaz appeared to be winning on the scorecards.
 * "Diaz complained of a "greasy substance" on Diego's arms that impeded Diaz's takedowns. While no illegal lubricant was ever investigated, Sanchez's hair was considerably wet-looking throughout the fight, suggesting that his hair product may have leaked onto his shoulders."
 * "Nick Diaz is the only professional athlete to ever be accused of using marijuana as a performance enhancer in an MMA fight."
 * "Video replay of the event showed Nate throwing the bottle after Karl jumped at Nick. No one was injured as the Diaz brothers left the arena entrance "throwing the bird" to the fans and Noons' corner. Despite the proof that Noons started the physical altercation, web sites such as MMAWeekly claimed the Diaz brothers started the fight."

Nationality
I have copy edited the nationality per a request on my talk page. I have "backed off" Mexican-American bios, since they seem to be a little more "invovled". Can we keep this as is, unless a citation is provided that specifically mentions that Diaz holds Mexican citizenship? TIA, --Tom (talk) 12:36, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

new picture
i think there should be a new main picture for diaz, this current one doesn't even look like him — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tmt2393 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Done. Is the Cyborg fight one okay? Lenosy (talk) 15:58, 5 June 2011 (UTC)Lenosy

Crap. The picture was rejected. Lenosy (talk) 23:29, 5 June 2011 (UTC)Lenosy

UFC 129 gsp
Does anyone think the information below should be added to Nick Diaz's article?

"At the UFC 129 post-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White stated that next for St-Pierre could in fact be a super fight with Strikeforce Welterweight champion Nick Diaz. "I've got to go talk him about boxing first, and then we'll see what happens there. It's an interesting fight," White said. "I was there live for that last fight and I was blown away by Nick Diaz’s last fight. He looked incredible." [61]" Mantion (talk) 07:41, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

ADHD is not a disability
there was a section at the bottom of the article labeled "Disability." While ADHD is a real psych diagnosis and can be incredibly difficult for patients, it is hardly a disability in and of itself. heading changed accordingly — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.75.80.226 (talk) 23:24, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

the photo
some should change the photo. the the person in the photo do not look like nick diaz. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.127.57.223 (talk) 10:51, 5 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Absolutely. A fan needs to upload a pic they took of him -BigGcastle (talk) 23:10, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

It's because he's smiling and has long hair. It's still him. No new picture is needed. 92.239.204.102 (talk) 18:22, 24 February 2013 (UTC)


 * It's still a bad picture of him, very blurry. At first I thought it was an error, considering that when I picture him smiling I imagine him looking more like this (talk) 17:39, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

diaz vs silva
um i have no idea how to really do anything on this but if it gets known to someone who does. why was the silva fight etc removed from his. MMA record. it's still tech apart of his record> even tho it was a NC even when u look at his MMA record stats "box" it says 2 NC (which counts as your record)also u still kept his NC with Takanori Gomi. so wtf is that? who edited that? because who ever did. needs to either remove BOTH NC's if you feel you don't want to put that as apart of his record. or show is record for what it really is. carlos condit in 2014 was not his "last" fight. and the silva stuff was up before so just why did it get removed. a NC doesn't mean it didn't happen. the fight still took place and vids obv still exist of it. it shows on his record box and as i stated gomis NC still remains there. yet you take down his most recent fight? either take down (all) the NC or as i'm saying leave the records for what they are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.94.246 (talk) 09:30, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

War MMA??
I think this section of the article is not relevant enough to warrant it's inclusion. At the very least the fight card and results should be removed as they really have nothing to do with Nick Diaz. We don't have every card the UFC has ever promoted on Dana White's wikipedia page. If the fact that Nick promoted a one-off MMA event is deemed relevant enough it should just be a 1 or 2 sentence blurb in his career history, not it's own section of his wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.171.132.188 (talk) 04:03, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
