Nick Diaz Army stand up!
Dude he ain't never gonna be champ. That ship sailed away a long long time ago.
washed up journeyman . last win was 15 years ago 😂
Nick Diaz 2024 make ufc great again!!
I MET NICK A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK IN HOUSTON HE WAS JUST WALKING AROUND....I SAID YO NICK!!!! HE WENT INTO A CAR I LITERALLY PULLED UP ON HIM AND GOT OUT THE CAR AND SAID AUTOGRAPH PLEASS....HE TOLD THE GIRL INSIDE HOLD ON AND CAME OUT AND GREETED ME....HE IS THE PEOPLES CHAMP 🏆 WARDIAZ
Dope !
Why are you yelling
Why all in caps?
el CAP e tan. 🍻
More suspense and emotion 😂@@John-sv4jb
Look at the waves. Nick Diaz announced and the buzz is real.
Nick Diaz will shock you all .
Hes broke....thats the word in lodi around the gyms..he literally is not wanting to fight .... he blew ll bis money on BAD stuff
He wouldnt shock us if he won...its more of him mentally...is he gonba take this fight just to talk about how he hates fighting and doesnt want to do this in the build up
Agreed. Love the positive vibes
@Songbird-on8lw tell us more mate?
@@Songbird-on8lw yeah tell us more about the word in the lodi gyms
Did anyone tell Nick there's no weed in Abu Dhabi!??!?
Fk abu dhabi too
if he agreed to go there and fight, then no one warned him
😂
He trynna chill with mayweather
He’s not going to make it
WAR DIAZ!!!
He should fight Don Frye... that would be a close fight
Tank Abbott is on the card also
Diaz vs Ferguson is the matchup
No it's not man. Tony sucks. He's boring. He's done!!! Nick would Obliterate Tony. Nick tryna go on a run & get some big fights. He doesn't wanna fight Tony Ferguson lol that's a joke. If he beats Luque then the ball is in his court
@@thecardbunker801 it makes sense there both old tho ? And it will be a good fight for Diaz to come back to
Nate just beat him
Nick gets finished.
Diaz vs RDA was the matchup
Nick diaz is a legend
hes old
@@kevinsullivan2362 you're old
@@thewintersoldier8387 yup probably banged ur mom
Time for Nick to show the world his greatness this time.
not like last time
Even with luques recent performances I think this is a tough one for Nick
ANY performance would be tough for him
He's gonna be dam near 41...
They let you know what club they are in.
🤫🤘🏻👉🏻..
Ma$0nic hand signs from ya boy Brett 👀
Only Sonic
Nick was really great but his time has passed. He is loved that's for sure
Diaz gonna smoke Luque 1st round ko Nick looks invigorated
Nick had neck issues vs robbie.thats why he couldnt workout properly and cut to 170. hes ok now they say. would melt my heart to see him do a proper showing vs a younger dangerous guy!! :D
The reason they didnt put them together is because Nick probably told them not to. He wants to fight the best! Fighting Tony would have done nothing for him if he beats him. It’s a win for Tony because he fought Nick Diaz and probably still retires if he beat Nick. From what I’ve been seeing on nicks live he looks in great shape so I’m sure he convinced them to let him fight a top guy just not a top 5
Ariel said that he asked to fight gsp, Colby at 300, Kevin at the Conor fight but he wanted to fight sooner so turned it down until luque signed
He's gonna be near 41 ...lol...
He'll be lucky to beat anyone on the roster
Nick Diaz ARMY stand up! The goal hasn't changed and that's UFC gold baby!
Ummmm, what?
209
This is crazy 😂😂😂
Nick Diaz will win. I am not surprised…!!!
Diaz is gonna get absolutely battered. The army can stand up, he will be giving up.
How can people who follow mma for a living not even know the extent of Nick's injury in the lawler fight?
Probably cuz they dont believe him. They said it was so bad it was impossible to train yet he can fight Robbie Lawler?
Right he literally posted a IG story after he got the surgery
@theloganobrien yeah everyone just acting like he will be even worse this time. Whatever... I said this too many times today. Let them all think that so the odds are really bad. I hope he is the biggest underdog in history.
@@JonSwinamer he will lose.
@reallyannoyingguyrighthere evidence? Unless you can show that definitively you're objectively wrong as of now
LET’S GO NICK !!! 🔥🔥🔥
Nick Diaz Tony Ferguson definitely a better fight
Luque is actually dangerous, I always pick him in the video game when I have his weight class
Nick diaz !!!
Nick Diaz, straight outta Stockton❤. Let's go Champ! The OG BadMF.
Great matchmaking Dana! Perfect comeback fight for Nick he needs a ranked opponent with a name not Tony
Forreal and people think it’s a dumb match up. If Nick beats the breaks off Tony it will do nothing for his career. People seem to forget that Nick fought Robbie with 2 ruptured disks in this neck forget about his physique he was outboxing Robbie in the first and 2nd before finally get hit hard. From what I’m seeing on his instagram live is a more motivated Nick and he looks like he’s great shape and mentally in a better place
I don’t wana see Nick get hurt bad
We just ignoring the fact that nick had 2 injured discs in his neck going in to that last fight? Bro literally had surgery like a week after the fight
WE 'LL LOVE TO SEE NICK DIAZ AGAIN!!!!👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👑👑👑👑👑
Nick diaz is a all time great the 1 st man to use cardio as a weapon!! He earned anything he wants!💪
Oh no..
Dude why would Dana put him in against Vincent? This is a terrible matchup for a 40yo Diaz. That's messed up. He needs a easier fight.
Nick was badly injured coming into the lawyer fight. Bret knows that and never even mentioned it.
IMO- Nick wanted a ranked fighter to see if he could make 1 more run at the top. Tony fighting Chiesa doesn't bother me as much either. He definitely won't take as much damage and gives him a better chance at a last fight win.
Click bate is wild. Video Image shows nick but there is zero nick in the video 😂
Nick Diaz in his prime was the best striker and the BMF. He creates the mental games, the real only gangster in the game
Diaz wasn't prepared for Lawler 2, However, he did a full camp for this. Diaz army worldwide!
Nick Diaz army 🪖😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Nick hasnt taken much damage in the last 8 years. So his age isn't as big of a deal.
Diaz vs Maia
Diaz army 💪🏽🪖
Nick Diaz♥ is Iconic 'n' A💪 Warrior!!! He Will Win!!!
DIAZ 💯
He didn’t take a 5 year hiatus HE WAS BANNED !!!! - Joshua block
He was banned for two years. The suspension was shortened. He literally just didn't fight.
He was banned for 18 months what are you talking about? You're definitely a new fan. They literally rescinded the 5-year band almost immediately, but you just look at old headlines to try and figure out what happened in the UFC before you were watching
@@johnraymma I’m definitely not but take this ratio tho and smd
We were robbed
Who really wants to see a 41 year old nick🤣🤣🤣 no one
2:22 Abu Dhabi wanted nick diaz
I love the Diaz brothers. I hope Nick is happy and healthy and fighting because he wants to and not because he needs to.
y'all really must not know nick has BEEN training for this. luque in for a shock
He's 41 soon... get real..he may not win another fight in ufc ...
WAR DIAZ
Nick Diaz Army Lets gooo
When Nick came out against Robby in the 2nd fight, it really looked like his leg or ankle was already injured. If it was, that could explain the weight.🤷♂️
Dc you are not the champ 🎉
(5:25). LOL can't, stop LOL. can't stop replaying it. dc's facial expression. did dc have a few pops before this? whatever the case, keep it up. literally 😂.
I urge anyone that hasnt seen Nicks current physique, google it. The guy looks ridiculously in shape. Im excited to an in shape, focused Nick Diaz! If he wins, smartest move my man Nick could make? Call out McGregor with a simple "Conor McGregor! I want you next. Older brother is coming for YOU".
This is disgusting that they would even put Nick Diaz back on to make a bit of money. Is a living legend with CTE can barely get a sentence out and Dana wants to drain him and pay him some chump change.
GOAT
DIAZZZZ
Diaz Army's will meet Dagestan Eagles Family in Abu dhabi.. And there's Ferguson too... 😅😅, will be war
Bruh, Nick Diaz is gonna get slumped. He looked awful his last fight against Robbie Lawler. He's just a washed up 40 yr old already. Luke is gonna demolish Nick
DC DRUNK !! Again
He’s such a narcissistic bully
Brett handled him well
Nick Diaz "Yeah I hate fighting"
If Nick Diaz has been training and his normal intensity this time (Triathlons, constant sparring, BJJ rolling etc.) and staying clean off the sauce this time, then he has a solid chance. If it’s like 2021, he’s back for some desperate cash and has been off the wagon leading up to it then I’m worried.
With all due respect, Nick, I think you'd be wise to call it a career. You said in another video that though you've loved the sport, you DON'T love what it's done to you. Sometimes, when fighters fight past their prime, it tarnishes their legacy and hurts them in many other ways too. Peace, brother.
So many fake Nick Diaz fans. Anyone who actually is a fan can tell you exactly why Nick wouldn't fight Tony. I guarantee the UFC tried to make it happen but Nick didn't want it for multiple reasons.
Anyone talking sh*t, check yourself. Nicks last outing, it wasnt him. He came in hurt, he came in with management issues against a guy he didnt really want to fight. AFTER a 5 year layoff. The amount of pressure he had coming back to such a huge stage and huge event, thats pressure we will never know ourselves. Abu Dahbi is perfect for him, doesnt have the pressure of vegas/new york/ etc.
All these dummys below saying nick will win....did you NOT SEE that helwani interview yrs back? Hes fighting again cuz his accountant told him hes bonna be broke after his fignting age yrs so he better go make mo ey..he spent alot on drugs
He's fighting luque cause about 4 other fights fell through. Personally I wish it was vs Colby, I think Colby could bring out the Nick Diaz of old
The thing that’s bothersome that none of these guys bring up is Nick shouldn’t even have to be in the position where he needs to take a fight ! The UFC and the Nevada athletic commission did everything they could to end Nick’s career and did ! Suspended him for 5 years during the prime of his fight career ! Robbed Nick of income for over 5 years Robbed us as fans from all the great fights that would have taken place over that time. Now they wanna sit here and be like oh does Nick have a chance and this and that shame on y’all ! Back when I use to fight I imitated the Diaz fight style for they are some of my favorite fighters . Point being they did Nick dirty ! He should be where he’s retired enjoying fights and doing interviews on Jaxons podcast not having y’all taking bout does he still
Got it or not ! Go Diaz get that paycheck homie !
Do ppl not remember nicks interview after Nate beat Tony. Basically called him an amateur why would he fight him
Daz should be in the states .,bad move...Love the dude but he has enough on his plate w the fight alone. I can see him getting frustrated and)or overwhelmed... Diaz Army!
People below are saying hes gonna be champ..lolol
If people are saying a good fight would be ferduson, hes not gonna be champ...prbably wont get a win again
The thruth is Nick is taking this fight for the paycheck. Sad but true, they took so many years of his career for testing positive for marihuana 🤦♂️
Why would anyone want to watch nick fighr again did you watch his last fight!? He might aswell have been asleep. Robbing fans of there money we want to watch real fights.
Nick about to get absolutely washed. Anyone who believes otherwise hasn't been paying attention.
This is just silly beyond stupid, Vicente will destroy and embarrass Nick, such a disrespectful match-up by the UFC, I swear they do ish like this to get rid of fighter's that they do not want to outright release that should be released.
Islam ans dustin biut to fite in 3 days... what's the topic nick diaz return... think it's time peeps admit no one cares when Islam's fights... same used to happen to Amanda nunes, no knew she was fightin until she walked out to fight
Nick Diaz looked old and slow the last time he fought in the UFC and that was years ago. Not sure why anyone would be excited to see him back.
Dana wants to push the old legends out. He doesnt like the legend fights. The only one I remember recently is Condit vs. Matt Brown.
Why would Vicente Luque take this fight. Wait! Is Tony fighting Khamzat and he’s not going to make weight again?
I enjoyed watching Nick in his day, but now..I feel like he's another BJ Penn (at the end of his career) where he is literally not worth watching even for free.
This is not a good idea I don’t understand why people are acting all excited about this, Nick Diaz looked horrible the last time he stepped into the octagon, you think he somehow managed to become better with age?
Nick won round one against Lawlor. He was NOT "losing the whole fight"
Nick is too old and suffered too much punishment during his career. I love the guy, wish it wasn‘t so, but everyone has to retire sooner or later.
Poor old Nick must be falling behind in his mortgage payments to come back
Word here in lodi , is nick blew much of his money and is forced to take another fight ... he was spending it on alot of extra curricular activities ...and now hes not well off to say the least
Nothing against Nick but I hope he comes in ready to fight not saying before the fight why am I here and acting like someone was making him fight and he didn’t want to.
Nick is a og legend but this is not good do people not remember how nick looked against Lawler this dose not make alot of sense to me especially against a killer like Vincent but I guess nick has earned the right he is a legend
Five year hiatus? Suspension
Nah, suspension was canceled.
He was available to fight.
@@joseroda20He could've def beaten bisping 😢
@@joseroda20 how long after?
@@ArchipLeFrançais he got cleared in mid 2016.
@@joseroda20 his brother fought Conor by then
I dont like this, nicks a all time great of the sport and i like everyone else wanna see him doin well and wish him all the best. But this isnt a good fight for him, hes been out the ring way too long for this fight it makes no sense at all. I just hope he makes alot of money out of it
Why would nick fight Tony when Nate smoked him already?
I can see Vicente not getting cleared before the fight, giving Tony the opportunity
I think Nick wants to Fight, he has that love hate relationship with Fighting, but i think hes got another fight or 2 in him
Way too old far too past prime should stay retired for his own health already proved himself nothing else to prove.
Vicente is still a absolute beast, a bit to many wars..but he is a ko artist
Nick will either just lay down like last time or he will be carried out 😑
WHAT?! No way. Get real.
Just drive by his gym
sometimes why do they do this stupid matchups.
Diaz vs tony would be it!
•Team Nick Diaz•
It doesn’t have to be a one more night thing
Ahh there it is, the fight nobody asked for lol. There's always one or two a year.
NICK DIAZ VS DIEGO SANCHEZ 2
REMATCH WOULD BE GREAT 👍 📈
I hope the best for Nick Diaz and fighting is not the. Best for him
Nick Diaz had a broken back against lawler in 2021
let’s go Niiiiick ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nick Diaz Is Dead Meat 🍖 This Fight Is To Get Rid Of Him
