SAN JOSE, Calif. — Nick Diaz doesn’t like getting hit in the face, he says. It’s dangerous. It’s painful. And when done by a guy like Evangelista ‘Cyborg’ Santos, it’s just not much fun.
That’s why it’s a little surprising, after seeing how easily he dispatched of Santos once the fight hit the mat, that he’s willing to do it so often.

Over the last two-and-a-half years, Nick Diaz has found a quality that eludes all but the best fighters: consistency. With all of the various methods of attacks and permutations that lie within them, MMA can be a terrifyingly dizzying sport in which to participate. Yet Diaz seems to have made the leap to where he has an innate feel between himself and his opponent, leading to an eight-fight win streak.
The Strikeforce welterweight champion attempts to defend his belt for the second time, this time against Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos, a fighter whose record does not necessarily match his fearsome style. “Cyborg” is a throwback in the sense that he cares little about planning or technique, often letting his fights devolve into battles of attrition, and for that, he’s become a favorite among hardcore fans who appreciate that type of old-school mentality. Among more mainstream fans, Santos is hardly known. Even in a sport like MMA where records are not the only report card on a fighter’s career, Santos’ 18-13 mark has him underappreciated by many who see that type of number and automatically think “journeyman.”
Because of that, Diaz is a heavy favorite to beat Santos at Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg.

SAN JOSE — Normally, Nick Diaz said, he doesn’t like fighting people he knows. He doesn’t even particularly like fighting people he’s met before, or people he’s so much as socially “acquainted” with.
But his newest challenger, Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos? He’s okay, and there seems to be one simple reason why the Strikeforce welterweight champ can be familiar with his upcoming opponent and yet not have anything at all bad to say about him.
“He doesn’t really speak English,” Diaz told MMA Fighting. “I’ve met him. He’s cool. I’ve got respect for him. But I mean, he doesn’t really speak English so it’s not like we’ve had a bunch of conversations.”
Friendships have been built on frailer ground.
