LAS VEGAS - Nick Diaz punches made the first impression, but his mouth is the last which eventually led to a title shot behind him in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
After sending the former champion BJ Penn retired on Saturday at UFC 137, Nick Diaz has talked his way into a championship fight by insulting holder Georges St-Pierre of the case by asking for a fight. This is the culmination of a months-long campaign by Diaz to face St. Pierre.
"I have to go as it just got a fight," Diaz said. "You're going to point fingers, it makes me bad. I'm the bad. Now I have a fight. ... The only reason this fight me because everybody wants me to take (butt)-beat in this instant. "
He dealt with a whip, on Saturday. Diaz defeated Penn around the cage landing 239 strikes, including the second round in 111 strokes, the second busiest tour recorded by Compu-Strike, the brand is also up Diaz's June 2009 victory over Scott Smith.
At the end of combat, the area around the left eye was closed Penn bloodied and swollen. It was the most visible damage taken by Penn in his 11-year career as a martial artist. He skipped the usual press conference after the fight to go to the hospital after the fight.
"He did what no one has ever done by BJ BJ 10 years in the game," UFC President Dana White said.
The blows caused Penn to announce his retirement immediately after the match, even though White believes that the plan would change when the hunter has time to think.
Diaz was alive at the beginning of problems on Saturday. The former world champion Jiu Jitsu, Penn Diaz took advantage of a weak takedown defense, wrestling him to the ground and mounting on his back. Penn landed several right hands from behind, leaving Diaz around the right eye was injured and bleeding heavily.
Huge grappler own right, Diaz finally scrambled the rest of the meeting and peppered Penn.
Diaz was able to book Penn despite a mediocre training camp by his standards. Boxing training partners were hard to find at this time due to their usual escort demanded higher wages, he said.
The choice of Penn as an opponent Saturday Diaz deflated because they are on good terms. Diaz wants reasons to hate people who struggle.
"That's why my face looks beaten up right now," said Diaz. "It was hard to motivate me to get 100% and that would do that. ... We could be friends. "
UFC was originally in St. Pierre-Diaz scheduled for Saturday, but the plan was changed last month when Diaz did not show events to promote the game. Officials moved to his opponents, and to promote Penn, Carlos Condit is a championship game.
The attack of the championship did not happen anyway because St. Peter suffered an injury in training two weeks ago. Diaz was charged Saturday in St. Peter falsifying injury causes master at the request of a fight with him. Is one of those rare occasions when St. Peter showed anger against another fighter.
"He was very disrespectful, he and his coach," said St. Pierre. "He says I dodge him. I've never ducked anyone. I'm not a coward. ... Now that beat Penn, I was listening and Dana (UFC co-owner) Lorenzo (Fertitta) for tonight's game and finally they gave me. "
Late on Saturday Condit has agreed to step down St. Pierre-Diaz, White said. Championship match will be held Feb. 4 in Las Vegas. UFC schedules typical of a large paper day before the Super Bowl.
The event will feature a battle of Condit. If he wins, he gets a shot at the winner of Diaz-St. Peter White said.
Insults directed to St. Peter's is not personal, but groped in March for high-profile game, Diaz said.
"I think it's a great fighter," Diaz said during a post-fight press conference. "I think it's a good guy, like everyone else. It 'a great role model. It would be nice to have that too, if I were in that position. It' unfortunate that I never had the opportunity and the right people behind I have been pushing me to be this type of hunting or what kind of model or whatever you want to see. "
The conference featured Diaz in the typical form. Came after everyone else because he had problems with urination drug test after the fight. His first response to the first question was to ask to repeat.
Speech Diaz became increasingly fragmented during the post-fight press conference, when he moved from one topic to another, almost regardless of the questions. One of his topics of conversation: finding the right motivation, struggles, battles hugging, low downtime fights with his teammates, jogging, neighborhoods, but living in poor areas, embracing ignorance battles buying homes, the difficulty of his life in general.
"It's not funny," said Diaz. "If I were to dissolve only the battle as George did, I could have my life together. ... But unfortunately it is not a situation I had, and nobody knows what it is."
