What’s on your Christmas list this year?
If you wrote down at some point that you wanted a rambling, sometimes incoherent series of short selfie videos from Nick Diaz ranting about … well, something, or someone, or some things or some ones … then guess what? Santa came early for you!
Diaz posted a whole bunch of selfie videos on his Instagram feed, which were compiled into one video by Bloody Elbow’s Anton Tabuena and posted to Twitter. In the videos, Diaz can be heard and seen talking about “what everybody knows,” though he never quite says what that is … about being punch drunk vs. real drunk … about someone holding on to him during a hypothetical fight … about not getting paid enough by the UFC … about borrowing money in order to get kicked in the face … about someone not knowing what they’re looking at … and then, oh yeah – he flips us off a couple times and blows smoke toward the camera.
So, ya know, just a day in the life of Stockton’s finest.
Check out the video compilation below.
So I think this was Nick talking about Masvidal? idk I can’t really speak Diaz well. pic.twitter.com/5xGRsWgexl

Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) hasn’t fought in nearly four years. At UFC 183 in January 2015, he lost a fight to Anderson Silva, but they both failed drug tests afterward. Diaz tested positive for marijuana for the third time.
It was thought that he would be returning to fight Jorge Masvidal (32-12 MMA, 9-6 UFC) at UFC 235 in March. But as time ticks on, that looks increasingly less likely.
Diaz hasn’t won a fight since UFC 137 in October 2011 – a stretch of more than seven years. After that, he lost an interim welterweight title fight to Carlos Condit at UFC 143 – and failed a drug test for marijuana. Then despite coming off a loss, he lost a title fight to Georges St-Pierre at UFC 158 before his loss to Silva, which was flipped to a no-contest.

Michael Bisping thinks Michael Chandler would be making a grave mistake by underestimating Conor McGregor. Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) welcomes McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) back in a welterweight bout, which headlines UFC 303 June 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). McGregor hasn’t competed...
LAS VEGAS – Karine Silva has heard the praise. Even though the narratives are largely complementary, Silva (17-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) admits her run toward UFC notoriety isn’t as quick and effortless as it may seem. “It wasn’t quick, guys. It wasn’t fast,” Silva told MMA Junkie and other...
