Who’s the only man in UFC history to skip out on two pre-fight press conferences and subsequently have his title shot yanked?

Well, that would be Nick Diaz, of course.

The welterweight phenom has gone from promising prospect to one of the best fighters in his class, all the while making headlines thanks to his unapologetic demeanor which has endeared him both to the fans and media alike.

The greatest thing about Diaz, much like the rest of these fighters, is that he’s chosen not to assimilate with the rest of the herd and instead is considered to be a genuine and unique figure in the MMA world.
