On Cursing

“See if people are gonna hate just cause I say the word m———–, then f— them, I don’t have time to worry about marketing and shit, in my last fight my hair looked like shit cause all I did was train… I have other letters but i’m not that good of a reader.”

“If people can’t handle watching me or they can’t handle the intensity of my life or they can’t handle me cussing saying f— this and f—-, then you know, I think people really need to become a little more mature, kinda grow up a little bit…”

“I don’t mean to sound like … this is … you know … people need to grow up and be mature enough to handle this shit. If they can’t and their eyes are not old enough to handle my cuss words and to handle the reality of what my life is really about, then don’t f—– watch. Because I’m tired of hearing about this and that about how I’m a f—– punk and I’m this and that and I’m f—– stupid because I didn’t go to school and I don’t know how to talk without fuckin cussing and say the F-word every five minutes. If you can’t handle it, then don’t listen to me. I don’t give a f—.”

On Computers

“After my last fight I bought one, I have no clue how to work it nor have any intention of chatting on here with you whores.”

On rock stars

“I don’t know about you guys, but I like my rock stars choking on their own vomit and uh, you know, what’s it matter anyways?”

On Girls

“Back in the day, a Ninja didn’t have his girlfriend sitting in the tree waiting to kill shit.”

“If I have a girlfriend, I don’t bring her to flaunt her. She doesn’t get to reap the benefits of me being famous.”

On painted toenails and chocolate

Jesse Holland: Who paints their hair and toes?

“Dude everybody. C’mon man. Even Hermes Franca. One day he comes in with that goofy haircut. You got Jens Pulver, f—— Mayhem Miller. Some bitch he was talking to tried to offer me this piece of hydrogenated chocolate. What the f— are these guys into? Give me some real chocolate. Real fighters eat real chocolate.”

“We dont really do painted toenails on the mat here… at our gym”

On his hometown of Stockton

“Fighting in Stockton is going to be great for me. Stockton is a great fight town because if you drive long enough on some of these roads you’ll probably see a pretty good street fight.”

“My job is to come and whoop your f—— ass so can get paid to take care of my family and take care of my business…I don’t have time and to walk around and pose and act happy and fucking paint my hair up…at the end of it it’s Stockton, there’s nobody around for that s— … there’s nothing to distract you there are no hot chicks, the butt-ugly one’s think that they’re the shit… everybody thinks it’s all about moving to Vegas if you’re a f—— fighter– yeah, if want to be f—— poser…”

On Vegas

Vegas is a f—— theme, dude, that s— doesn’t fool me.”

“Every fighter I know wants to move there and wants to live there. You gotta be kidding me. These f—— a——-. I mean — I love it, because they’re that dumb, I’m like, “I can’t wait to fight ’em, they’re so stupid.”

“They thrive off these big f—— fake-titty mutant chicks that are f—— disgusting whores, every last one of them. They’re all trying to do something to get somwhere, or if they’re out there they’re trying to f—— do it up with their old man somewhere else.”

“It’s just like, and regardless, you’re there — if I were there, I’d be there to meet some people, you know, like some endorsement deals, some things or whatnot. These people, they end up wanting to live there and move there. All they do is go out and drink and they can’t — they all drink. Even the ones that — even athletes there that don’t drink, the other ones force them into drinking and they don’t go out and stand around drink water like I do. I’ve seen ’em and they all f—— move to Vegas and they go to these clubs and it’s just like, “Dude you are f—— kidding me.”

You know, I feel like I can go out there and live somewhere in a place like that — probably not that place, ever, I can hardly stay there for a f—— week, I hate it there, honestly — and then you know, make some money for myself, move back here, to some little spot, you know what I mean, where there’s f—— a vineyard on the side of it and I can shoot rabbits outside of my door with a shotgun and nobody’s gonna say s— to me. That would make me happy.

On Rich Franklin

“He just lost again right? See what I mean? You are promoting Rich Franklin and this m———–, here he is, letting it ride and he’s just trying to uphold his image. The guy’s a f—— teacher. He’s a school teacher – that’s what he is. If I was going to fight him I’d be pretty damn confident. I’m going to fight a teacher not a fighter. There are plenty of teachers I wanted to beat up.”

On Diego Sanchez

Rogan: “So now do you have respect for Diego?”

Diaz: “Naw, not really.”

On Frank Shamrock

“I feel like I’m a lot bigger than Frank is. He lifts a lot of weights, ya know? We were at a photo shoot, the other day, ya know? I figured he oiled himself up real good. I didn’t get no oil.”

On KJ Noons

“My car pulled up in front of the hotel and he and his girlfriend and his mom and dad were there,” Diaz said. “Right away, he put his mug on me. He was staring me down and trying to give the impression that he’s hard core. I flipped him off, but he’s standing over there like he’s flashing. I go, ‘What the f— are you doing? I’m not the one doing s—.’ I couldn’t understand why this guy is putting his mug on me, but he had to act like he was some kind of a f—— tough guy in front of his girlfriend and his Dad. This is war, this is life, and I take this very seriously,” Diaz said. “I’m not the one bringing my family into the ring and showing them off. I’m not the one who (showed up to the pre-fight news conference) in a f—— suit trying to act like I’m some kind of tough guy a—— rich kid. This is war to me and we have a serious situation on our hands now.”

On Takanori Gomi

“He kinda just put his head down and looped some fucking punch out there that smacked me…I was like what the f—-?!?!?!?”

“That little f—— hit me with a Hadukan or something.”

“I beat his ass. But you know, that little f—–. Man that f—– is tough. I mean I hit him, but then he comes out with this karate s— and little dude can bang. I mean he f—– up my eye and s—… That’s why I went to the ground and go go’d him. You dont see that s— in MMA. Who in MMA go go’s anyone cept me.”



On the Joe Riggs hospital brawl

Trigg: “You should have just closed the door Nick.”

Nick: “How the f— am I gonna close the door? I ain’t no b—-.”

“He started that shit dude. I was like “Come over here then if you want some, b—-. You can’t see me you fucking p—-“. So he started walking towards me and threw his hands up so he took an ass whooping. I told him he was gonna get smacked if he came over. He kept saying “Get your brother! Get your brother!” My brother was standing right there we could have jumped him but we’re not like that. I ain’t no b—- and I ain’t no punk and I don’t want to be a poor sport but I feel like I won that fight. I’m definitely better than that guy.”

On fighters

“I’m trying to fight Sakurai, I’m trying to fight K.J. Noons, I’m trying to fight Anderson Silva, I’m trying to fight everybody. I’m trying to fight Georges m———— St.Pierre. I’m trying to fight … I didn’t mean to call Georges a m———–, but I ain’t got no problem getting there and fighting the best people in the world. Georges is a nice guy. I’m trying to fight Jon Fitch, I’m trying to fight Silva, I’m trying to fight K.J. Noons, I’m trying to fight everybody. I’m trying to fight Takanori Gomi, Sakurai, I’m trying tof— everybody up. F— this s—. This is fucking gangster fucking warfare. I don’t give a f—. You know what I mean?”

On his team

“If you’re not on my team, then F— YOU, cause if you’re not with us, then your against us”

On steroids

“W”hen you don’t want to go, when you feel like s— and you fucking don’t want to train anymore — if you go ahead and get loaded, then you might not give a s— what you’re about to go do, you just go do it. So you know, for all you fighters out there, it might be what you need, instead of f—— sticking that needle in your ass.”

“Because I’m telling you right now, these people that f—— do steroids, you know what I mean? I’m like, I wish everything was legal, because that would give them the chance to go out there and make their mark and then burn the f— out. And that’s when I come in with my consistency, because I’m coming.”

On marijuana

“Hell yeah! The s— has healing powers. I would recommend pot for any fighter. Especially the ones that drink. You can’t get bombed and expect to be 100% the next day but if you had a joint you would be 110%. Most of those fucking guys are popping Vicotin and drinking and before you know it they’re crashing.”

“Because you get high all the time, you can’t find people that train all the time. But if you get high and train, you will get high and train all the time together and it will be f—— massive-takeover-smoke-weed-and-kill-people s—.”

“Making weed illegal is a little bit paranoid, don’t you think? It’s like saying God made a mistake, you know what I mean? It’s like, you’ve got the whole world and Earth and all its holy creations, right? And God is like, Hmm, lookit, my whole world in all its holy ways, and he’s like, Oh-my-me-oh-shit, I left weed in here. Yeah right, I left weed in here. Oh, shouldn’t have smoked that joint on the third day.”

“”For the record, right now, I think someone needed to come out and say it: I think smoking pot is good for mixed martial artists. It’s a new day and age, this is, uh, the year … F— year is it? I don’t know, because I’ve been training and smoking pot like I should, instead of paying attention to other bullshit, which I don’t do.”

“The fact of the matter is, if you go home — okay, I’m gonna tell all you fighters out there something right now, from my experience — if you have friends that you get high with, get ’em to train with you.”

“And then, not to mention, when you’re done, you know, you guys are probably all going to get high together at whoseover house’s cool, and probably all go and get a whole shitload of groceries at the store, go home and cook ’em. Instead of trying to make it out of the gym early to the club before it closes — or for instance we close around here around 2 o’clock — so people will be taking off trying to go early, trying to make it to meet whoever,whatever, this and that, yadda yadda, drinking a little bit of alcohol, can’t go there without drinking — it could be a little bit easier to just f—— smoke a bowl and then crash out until you wake up and do it all over again, see what I mean?”

“So my bottom line is I wanted to get a bunch of this stuff off my chest is … is that … you know … I’m not no chump. I’m not going to just talk shit or whatever. I can’t remember where I was really going with that.”

So Nick, would you agree your marijuana smoking has got in the way of your fight career?

“Actually, on the contrary, my fight career has gotten in the way of my marijuana smoking.”

Asked if he was high?

“Maybe i am, maybe i’m not…. maybe f—you”

last words

“I don’t have nothing to say but f— this f— that at this point and time, so.”
