All the fights are subject to change.

Just looking at James' sig pic makes me realize how HUGE GSP vs. Diaz would be if Diaz beats Penn and Georges beats Condit. The UFC can really play up this 'Diaz not showing up to Press Conferences'

..if Diaz beats Penn decisively they have found their new bad boy....the thing with Diaz though is (like James said) it is not a gimmick.

Diaz was an idiot. They almost fired him, he probably begged for his job back, they told him "Well you're out of the main event," he asked if he could fight BJ, BJ agreed. Done.

That's pretty much what it all is - opinions. When it's looked at as 'Diaz missed a media appearance, so they pulled him from the fight,' it seems harsh. But then you have to consider the commitment he made to his boss prior to signing the contract, the whole rescheduling of the Toronto flight two-three times, to ultimately turning off his phone and not returning any phone calls. Pulling him from the fight doesn't seem all that harsh, and would have even understood if he got cut. I mean, what are they supposed to think in the future, 'UFC Welterweight Champion Nick Diaz' starts no-showing more appearances? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Fining him money wouldn't have mattered, especially considering had he won, he would have had money pouring out of his ass since his stock would have been through the roof.

This pretty much sums up my feelings perfectly... I like Nick, but his behaviour sounds very unprofessional/unreliable. It is what it is though - at the end of the day, I'm just pleased he wasn't fired and is still fighting on the card... And we get Penn Vs Diaz - which is awesome. 8-)

Don't rule him out completely. I say Penn has a big chance at winning this one.

Me too. It's pretty 50-50 - but if Diaz fights the way he did against Daley, I can easily see BJ picking him apart...

I doubt, I don't think Nick would care, he honestly just does not give a crapin general about anything.
