***EDITED WITH SOMEWHAT PROPER(er) GRAMMAR, PUNCTUATION, AND CAPITALIZATION FOR THE SEEMINGLY ILLITERATE MASSES***

Nick Diaz advocates nothing but objectively healthy living, good music, philosophy, positivity, and individual rights/freedoms, all while being easily the most exciting fighter in any combat sport, ever.

His alleged 'anger issues' are completely understandable given that he grew up in a totally hostile, shitty, violent social environment in which he was constantly fucked with, picked on, and bullied.

Infuriatingly, this background affords him not empathy and appreciation for his astounding ability to transcend this environment of failure, but derision from the majority of MMA fans.

Compounding this issue is the fact that no one recognizes his staggering list of accomplishments given how fucked up his upbringing was. Nick does Iron Man triathlons; something the majority of fitness advocates in everyday life will never be even close to fit enough to accomplish. He also fights and wins in multiple weight classes, in multiple countries, and has beaten the number one fighter in the world at least once (Takanori Gomi was considered No. 1 at L/W when Nick GOGOPLATA'D him, stoned).

No one listens to his extremely beneficial health and fitness advice, even though it has been, by all accounts, empirically proven to be right, because he scowls, openly speaks his mind, smokes marijuana, and tells people to fuck off sometimes; all things that have nothing to do with what he advocates.

Then, anyone who does recognize his accomplishments and appreciate his efforts, particularly given the context of his life, is labelled a nut-hugger or a fan-boy by the ignorant masses, who are too shallow, dumb, and self-righteous to look past the fact that he has to get into an aggressive mindset to participate in a sport where two dudes beat the fucking shit out of each other in a cage and see just how great of a human being, over all Nick Diaz really is.

That, to me, is immensely frustrating.

Meanwhile, while St Pierre is perhaps cycling steroids and Anderson Silva is at a club or pumping out 10,000 kids, or eating fast food, Nick is home, in his shared fighters' home, doing dope shit like practicing nunchucks, throwing knives, fighting Eskrima with Mauricio Machado, or teaching kids Jiu Jitsu, because he is probably the only totally legitimate dedicated martial arts master in all of combat sports, right now (Machida maybe?).

He is also the only martial artist setting a legitimately good example for the good functioning of human beings. He is the only fighter outspoken about (as I mentioned earlier) philosophy, free thought, individual rights, and health. GSP, Silva, and the like, on the other hand, advertise for Gatorade (sugar and chemical filled bullshit) and Burger King and eat Big Macs and drink alcohol, and party so hard 'they forget their whole name'(sic).

Nick Diaz drinks water and eats organic gluten free raw vegan food because that is what is optimal for good health. Nick participates in triathlons in his down time and is an accomplished endurance athlete in his own right. If Nick goes to a club, he drinks water. He lives a quiet, stay at home life with his girlfriend, who he does not subject to cameras or fame, because he loves and cares for people in his life.

Nick smokes marijuana because marijuana doesn't make you violent, out of control, or even really unhealthy, and has been shown to have numerous positive physiological and psychological benefits that alcohol and xtc and blow and steroids and all the other bullshit UFC fighters like to do do not possess.

He also doesn't duck fights, or run like a coward, or take the easy way out when it comes time to face an opponent. He stands in the ring and he fights. He faces his opponent like a man faces another man in a fist fight. He's a fighter.

Condit ran, and if he have to will run again. GSP jabs, shoots, smothers, and also runs. Koscheck took down Daley and held him, knowing it was boring, knowing it wasn't how you win a real fight, knowing he couldn't risk trying to finish in case Daley got up and removed his head; knowing he was playing a game, not fighting a fight.

Nick could win like that (his ground game is spectacular and he has excellent Sambo trips/throws and an clinch game). He chooses not to because he respects his opponents and the sport too much to win like a coward, or a cheater.

Yet all we hear is how Nick is a thug. Seriously, how the fuck is Nick Diaz a thug? Because he was born in Stockton, and it's a hard life being poor in Stockton? Cause he says fuck? People are so fucking stupid and privileged and ignorant... it's just disgusting. What would you be like without comfort and security? Would you be as cool as Nick Diaz? No, you wouldn't. You would suck.

Not to pick on Georges, but if he really cared about martial arts, of the fans, or his opponent, he'd fight. But he doesn't. He plays a game to win money and a gold belt. That's bullshit. That's NOT what this sport is supposed to be about. Nick fights. End of story. No games, no points, no bullshit. He fights.

So, fuck the haters, the reason Nick Diaz finds a safe haven on Middleeasy is because Middleeasy is the only MMA website that is run by objective, intelligent, open minded human beings; not retards and corporate shills.

Tell us more about how you don't care. lol

Just Look at the paragraph you wrote about 'Trolls' hating on your shitty articles... Now, take a glance at the two sentences you wrote about your idol Nick Diaz.

Yup, you don't care Zuesy, that's why you're gonna delete this comment & try and blacklist me, again...
