Ariel Helwani has been covering the action all night, apparently Diaz completely Scott Hall'd the show and no one has heard from him. What a  ing shame. |

evidently there was a weight issue with estima. they were supposed to fight at 180, estima said he couldnt do it... nick allowed him to go at 185, and estima said he couldnt cut anymore weight. im not gonna sit here and pretend i know the entire story though.

Well I doubt he had a big bad boss to answer to, so he didn't care. When he does crap like this, it's like he wants me to NOT respect him. No problem Nick, I can do that.

Why I'm such a big Diaz fan. He don't give a F*ck! He lives his life by his rules and doesn't take bullsh*t from anyone. If the promoter was shady like that to me, I'd do the same exact thing.

The promoter of the event gave Estima extra time to cut weight, which was originally not allowed for anyone after you weigh-in the first time. It's not under the standard athletic commission rules.

I read that Diaz agreed to Estima being 185...(?)
**Estima was disturbed enough with the situation that he offered, on multiple occasions, to fight Diaz in a mixed martial arts bout. Estima has no professional MMA experience, but trains in the sport with the Blackzilian camp.
"I'll fight him in MMA. If maybe he feels more comfortable there, I'll do it. ... I gave up a lot of things to make this to happen. I came here to fight, you said you were going to be here, were going to give your purse to charity. It is very disrespectful."
With Stockton, Calif.'s most famous resident nowhere to be found, those left behind were left to speculate at what may have caused the latest chapter in Diaz's well-documented history of bizarre incidents.
"I think he got anxious with the whole situation," Renzo Gracie said. "Braulio is at the top of his game. I knew something like this could happen."
"It's a shame," said Estima. "I'm sorry on his behalf that the show didn't happen. All you guys, I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. It's a shame, it's disrespectful for me, and for the sport, and for the kids in his charity."

Supposedly Caesar will shed more light on this later on.

In a way, I envy Nick Diaz. I wish in the real world, every time I decided something was not to my liking, I could just bounce.
Unfortunately I'd have negative consequences if I lived that way. Not that Diaz hasn't had *any* consequences, because he has... but it doesn't stop him. He lives in a world the rest of us probably wish we could, if not for our need to keep our jobs and maintain our reputations.
EDIT: one of these times, it would be funny if the post-incident excuse from Cesar Gracie was "Nick Diaz doesn't roll on Shabbus."

What people fail to realize is that Nick Diaz isn't a show dog. He doesn't have ing papers. You can't board him. He gets upset, his hair falls out. |

Nick will make his promised donation to St. Judes Hospital out of pocket.
WAR DIAZ.

^ well that's the least he could do really.  (why didn't he say if he wasn't happy about the new 185 weight or the "shady promoter" before just no-showing? And what about all his fans who turned up or forked-out to watch the live streaming of the match?) |

I just don't think Nick likes dealing with shady promoters. It's really that simple. If there's even a small -up, don't expect him to dumb down and just go with whatever they say. |

If what is being said is true, then I'll have changed my tune and don't really blame him.

People need to realize that Diaz isn't totally crazy. He just lives on his own terms. Something we all deep down want to live like.

True - but he is top-level fighter in the UFC/public eye and gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight. There are certain responsibilities that come with that...

This BJJ match didn't really have anything to do with "fighting". He wasn't being paid a substantial amount of money, and the money he was being paid, he was going to donate it all.
It's not like this match was endorsed by the UFC or anything.
