The last few months I have started to see young men getting into the amateur MMA cage and trying to morph into their favorite fighter Nick Diaz. On one occasion I saw a young man throw a head butt at the weigh ins, two finger salute at the stare down, mock his opponent during the fight, and at the end of it all, almost incite a cage brawl by getting in the face of one of the opposing coaches. True story.
It's funny, because when I'm driving to and from the gym I listen to country. Then when I get to the gym we listen to rock or hip hop. When we're hitting mits at night and Cain is in the room we listen to Mariachi or Mexican music.
This past weekend Nick Diaz was expected to take on Braulio Estima in a highly anticipated Super Fight at the World Jiu Jitsu Expo. Unfortunately things didn't turn out as planned and Diaz did not show up for his match. Following the fight rumors ran rampant as to why he no showed.
