About a month ago I was speaking to my buddy and I told him I think Nick Diaz is either in rehab (alcohol) or simulating a fight camp because his social media has been abnormally silent. He used to be posting shit drinking, smoking, and partying nonstop. Low and behold, Ariel Helwani tweets out today: Hot damn! I know its been years since he last fought but this shit has me stoked! He looks to be in phenomenal shape. A mock 14 week fight camp, diet to test the waters of cutting. My prediction? The Diaz/Masvidal fight being rumored for January? The media reported the wrong Diaz. I'm calling Nick vs Jorge in January. If its not Nick v Jorge, its gonna be Nick v Conor. And if Nick is just teasing and doesn't fight, I'm glad he's gotten himself into what appears to be a much better place mentally.
I absolutely believe he will come back for another payday, lose, complain, and vanish again. But I'm down to watch it.
I would love to see a little BMF tournament. Conor vs Nate III, Nick vs Jorge. Winners fight each other provided it is not Nick and Nate both to win.
