Here’s a depressing thought: some day Nick Diaz will stop fighting.
Some day, either from the ravages of age, the allure of outside interests, or maybe just a growing distaste for the sport and all its inhabitants, Diaz will take his defiant sneer and his expletive-laden sound bytes and leave us behind.
Whether we realize it yet or not, that’s going to be a sad day for MMA. Maybe a better way to put it is, it’s going to lead to a bunch of boring days thereafter. Because when you stop and think about it, there may be no more original — between his interviews, antics, and actual athletic performances — or more entertaining fighter in the entire sport.
