Quotes from Nick Diaz

I'm not going backwards in this sport ever, especially in pay. Why would I?

I don't have anything against Georges St-Pierre. I think he's a great fighter. I think he's a nice guy just like everybody else, and he's a great role model. I would love to be that too if I was in that position.

I'm trying to live life like a normal person.

Stylistically, though, I've always liked Carlos Condit, because he at least amounted to at least the level of doing what I do. I mean, but I think he stands a little upright.

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.
