Even when Nick Diaz isn’t fighting, he’s hogging headlines.
Last night the mercurial welterweight skipped out on a planned Brazilian jiu-jitsu super match against expert grappler Braulio Estima at the inaugural World Jiu-Jitsu Expo, a grappling event organized by Renzo Gracie.
As with most everything Diaz does, this latest antic drew a lot of attention and prompted many of his peers and other figures in the MMA world to speak out. You can check out a small collection of only a few of those reactions below while you wonder, “What will Nick Diaz do next?”
Diaz Brothers
Promoter fails to donate the money to charity as agreed. (shady) Promoter changes rules for weigh ins to accommodate fellow Brazilian
Match ain’t happening
Braulio Estima
Unfortunately the so expected super fight Estima vs Diaz didn’t happened. I’m very sad as I did everything possible for it to happen. I weighed in at 180lbs this morning at 10 am as agreed and asked to see nicks weighing too but I was informed by Cesar his Coach that he was 180lbs in the previous night and that he ate and is over 180lbs even though I just let it go an still showed up to fight. What pisses me off the most is that he was telling he was going to give his purse to charity for the childrens hospital and than don’t show up. What kind of person is that. Shame. Ps. I’m sorry for all the ones who stayed up to watch this fight but I’m sure the prelims fights was amazing. Thank u all for the support aways
Renzo Gracie
@nickdiaz209 the truth can only be told by him. For sure he has his reasons. He represents BJJ better than anyone in the fray. Let’s wait
Nate Diaz
Braulio didn’t show up on weight the day of weigh ins knowing he had pull? Wtf

The Nick Diaz version of “i’m gonna make you am offer you cannot refuse” will be: “I’m gonna give you a reason, you cannot understand!”

Lmao @Siyar Bahadurzada… Why is it that everyone in Nick’s camp can find logic in his bulls*** and no one else can? Who in their right mind would say, “Yeah Nick, no-showing for this event is a sound idea and a good career move. This won’t make you look bad at all… I will support you in this decision and even rationalize your decision to the public at the risk of my own reputation”? Nick is surrounded by a bunch of enablers that are helping him bury his career- which is all old news.
You forgot to add at the end of your quote; “I will support you in this decision and even rationalize your decision to the public at the risk of my own reputation. Now stop camping on that fu<kin joint and pass that sh!t."
Lmao!
LOL!!! Yeah, and that…
Once again a Diaz doesn’t know what he is talking about. Nate thinks Braulio missed weight, but that isn’t true. Nick was looking for an excuse and found one that wasn’t really there…and his people are trying to help him save face, which isn’t working on anyone except his stoned friends/supporters.
For everyone hating on him, Nick Diaz donated the same money to the kids hospital that he would have made for competing.
But he still skipped out because he knew he was gonna get wrecked. He’s a punk and a b!tch.
Isnt that fighter bashing?
He did skip out, but who knows his reasoning. To me, him being scared seems less than likely, but I dont think his brain works like the average bear.
