When Nick Diaz now showed without an announcement from a heavily advertised grappling match for charity versus multiple time world champion Braulio Estima, there was immediate speculation that UFC President Dana White had pulled him from the contest. In fact, White didn’t even know about it, and was entirely unsurprised.

In fact, the only thing that surprised White was that people were surprised. Via Twitter.

@Stephenrodbjj

why did u make nick back out

@danawhite

I don’t web know wtf ur talkin about

@fscker

heard you had something to do with @nickdiaz209’s no-show. Any truth? i know you’re a no bullshit dude, let everyone know.

‏ @danawhite

@fscker @nickdiaz209 I have no idea what ur talkin about

@TheMaddenGod

What’s up wit ya boy nick Diaz not showing up to a jiujitsu expo I guess ur use to that

Dana White ‏ @danawhite

what did he no show to?

@jonbranch

World Jiu-Jitsu Expo in LA

‏ @danawhite

wow!

‏ @JordanSteeleBJJ

@danawhite Wouldn’t tell a suspended fighter not to fight in a JJ expo for charity. That’s not his style.

@danawhite

nope, didn’t even know about it.

@rahdeda

@City_Cop_Nate @kennyflorian @braulioestima my guess is @danawhite pulled him?

‏ @danawhite

@rahdeda @city_cop_nate @kennyflorian @braulioestima well ur guess would be wrong. I didn’t web know about it.

‏ @sebashoeha

@arielhelwani @danawhite @JordanSteeleBJJ What a blatant lie.

@danawhite

@sebashoeha @arielhelwani @jordansteelebjj what a blatant douche

@AndrewOdab

You don’t know what you’re own head-lining fighters are up to? Bullshit.

Dana White ‏ @danawhite

I have never heard of the guy he was supposed to grapple. Lol, guess I am WAY out of the fuckin loop

‏ @jodubs11

If @danawhite @ufc is behind this, looks really bad considering a Charity is now out some money!

‏ @danawhite

@jodubs11 hey Jared, fuck u dummy

@Chrisss811

@danawhite is no real friene of te Fertitas. Hes jurT A golden horse and a pupet 4 them. Even the Fighter dont like him. Pathetic lil bitch

@danawhite

Adriana Soares ‏ @A_SilvaSoares

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I love you so. =)

Dana White ‏ @danawhite

🙂

@evan1evan

you seem rather unmoved, i know this event is completely separate from the ufc but doesn’t this still piss you off??

@danawhite

no, not shocked and I’m surprised u people are! He no showed a Las Vegas press conf to a fight he was gonna make HUGE $ and title

@evan1evan

i know he no showed the 137 presser, but he’s taken things to a new level. will this affect the ufc’s future dealings with nick?

@danawhite

how did he take things to a new level? Him not showing up for a BJJ match is a new level!?lol

@evan1evan

i think it is a new level because, as he’s told us, he’s never not showed up for a fight. today he didn’t show up for his fight.

@danawhite

that’s a fight? Since when is a BJJ match a fight? Not my problem. The promoter of that shows problem. I have enough of my own.

@evan1evan

i understand that, but next time it might be your problem

@danawhite

next time!? Dude, what planet do you live on? It’s been my problem for over a year. Do u not watch the UFC or follow MMA?

@evan1evan

seems like the problem is getting worse. if u can bear the frustration he’ll keep causing u then great, but how long can u do it?

@danawhite

now u have made a great point

@evan1evan

cheers for the responses dana, try to get some sleep

‏ @danawhite

you too bro

@JennyFriedman1

This is fuckin hilarious how people expect @danawhite to punish/ get rid of Nick for not showing up to something that is non Zuffa related!

@danawhite

people are fuckin nuts and braindead to be OUTRAGED and SHOCKED that Nick no showed something.

@SakuEar

charity issue is the major problem I have does that lower ur respect 4 the man said he would donate 100K 2 charity & doesnt show.

‏ @danawhite

what charity was it?

@SakuEar

“St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital” it was a charity for children, and he didnt show. he was supposed to give 100K to them.

@danawhite

he was getting 100k to grapple! ?

‏ @Huck_The_Doctor

People think you worry about Nick lol, you got plenty of other shit much more important

@danawhite

exactly!!! Nick is on suspension right now. He can’t fight at all. BJJ is FAR from fighting.

@ChickenMcV

Holy crap, when do you sleep?

@danawhite

I don’t

‏ @PaulCliffeMMA

i could kick ur ass easily dana

@danawhite

good for u. I’m not the one u would be fighting

Ashok Bhattacharya ‏ @abrules1984

The UFC home page says “UFC hits India”, but @danawhite has to compete with the more popular @TheFightLeague here. SUPPAFIGHTLEEEAAGUE!!!!

@danawhite
