LAS VEGAS – While former Strikeforce champ Nick Diaz certainly didn’t
have the best first round of his professional career on Saturday night,
he rebounded over the final 10 minutes in an epic beatdown of MMA legend
B.J. Penn.
UFC president Dana White called the performance “awesome,” and labeled both Diaz and Penn “warriors.”
It’s everything Diaz could have hoped for in his octagon return and yet
it sounds as if it was nothing that he wanted. In fact, at Saturday
night’s post-event press conference, Diaz admitted he simply wasn’t
happy – about just about anything, really.
