Nick Diaz entered the Octagon at UFC 137 for what would end up being the biggest victory of his mixed martial arts career.

Despite being beaten in Round 1, Diaz bounced back with two historical rounds to defeat the UFC legend in BJ Penn via Unanimous Decision.

Following his hand being raised, Diaz went to his short interview with Joe Rogan and called out current Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre.

Diaz stated,

“I don’t think Georges is hurt; I think he’s scared.”

Diaz went on to add,

“I think he’s scared to fight everybody right now.”

And, while Diaz is viewed as the “bad guy” by many fans across the globe, he addressed this issue in his post fight press conference. 

Diaz said,

“I got to come off like that just to get a fight.”

“I got to be the bad guy, got to point the finger– make me the bad guy, now I’m the bad guy, and now I got a fight.”

While Diaz addressed being the bad guy, his main focus seemed to be on the money.

“I run by run hundreds of these nice, huge houses with these big yards and fountains everywhere. These people have their little picnic patio, little side yard, little pool.”

“I go back into my neighborhood where my car gets robbed, got some dude out in front of my house lookin’ for cigarette buds. It’s ridiculous”

UFC President Dana White responded to Diaz’s comments by stating,

“I don’t know how much houses cost up there, but bro, you got enough money to move.”

The press conference highlights runs 15:48 and is filled with all the up-to-date information regarding the life of Nick Diaz.
