After losing to welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre via unanimous decision at UFC 158, Nick Diaz told Joe Rogan he was considering retirement for the next time after as much battles. There have been few who took this claim seriously, and rightly therefore. Shortly after declaring he might retire, Diaz was back to his pre-fight, trash-talking home. During an interview with journalist Ariel Helwani on Fuel TV,Athe former Strikeforce welterweight champ said he needed a rematch and claimed GSP blows like a woman. Diaz is among the most useful waste talkers in the game, but reaction to these latest promises of pension and jibes toward GSP indicate the show gets old, fast. What we may have observed from Diaz was somebody dealing poorly with losing the largest fight of his profession, a thing that can not be eliminated. He said he didn't wish to make excuses but it was often accompanied by excuses, which throughout the post-fight press conference reached a place of accusing poor arrangements and some indirect criticism of their own team. Nick Diaz said: "I felt like everybody knew I had it (the title battle with St-Pierre) coming. Cesar knew I had it coming, everybody knew I had it coming and then the moment I'd it coming, nobody was around to greatly help me." In the press conference, which he was thirty minutes late for, he told St-Pierre in person he thinks he can defeat him and wants a, plus reiterated the champ visitors like a woman. A statement several at the press conference laughed at, but in addition puzzled media and fans alike seeing that just a small amount of time before he was embracing GSP and raising his hand. It's this hypocrisy, among other things, which will be transforming Diaz from the fighter people love to hate, to the main one they just hate. His pre-fight chat and his taunts during fights have entertained lots of supporters, but during this GSP-Diaz saga, it went a bit too far. Eric Bolte-USA TODAY Sports The turning point was the end of Round 3, when Diaz, from his back, hit the principal St-Pierre after the round had obviously finished. He wasn't penalised, but UFC presidentADana White stated post-fight he feels Diaz must have been deducted a point. This course of action angered people who had formerly been on the fence regarding Diaz, and it was a bad night for his picture, even for Nick Diaz, once you add his post-fight comments and his desperate efforts to produce headlines. The show now has to end. Whether it is through retirement, or an adjustment to how he presents himself, the present Nick Diaz act is on a course of self-destruction. Diaz is undoubtedly among the most interesting competitors when in the cage and is currently a large draw for the UFC, but just how long could this last? Supporters and media are seeing the cracks while the this veteran of the activity shows signs of madness in practicing past call-outs and insults over and over. Supporters, press, and even Dana White do not want him to retire, but could be it's this that Nick Diaz requirements in place of desires. Through the enjoyable post-fight press conference Nick Diaz said he has never paid his fees, something coach Cesar Gracie refused on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.AGracie did say, but, Diaz needs to get his material so as. A layout which also cropped up in Dana White's media scrum. This need to get his personal things in order is excatly why retirement, at the very least as a temporary option, might be what Diaz needs. A potential of three fights a year, plus all the press needs, is a ruling distraction. A break from the activity could provide Diaz with a chance to successfully organise his life. Once he has done this, we will see Diaz return with the exact same no-nonsense attitude, but without the additional madness. Then it is a matter of holding straight back on a number of the trash talk and focus on entertaining supporters in the cage like he has done for therefore many years and working toward more success, if retirement isn't the road taken. Easier said than done when years of media attention and pressure has had its toll on a fighter who's renowned for being camera shy.
