(When asked for an opening statement to the media) "Am I supposed to have something to say?"

"Training is going good. I'm ready to go. I'm happy to fight at 170. I have been waiting for a long time to fight in this weight class. The last two fights were not my idea. This (fighting at welterweight) is not a new thing for me."

(On Jay Hieron saying that Diaz is ducking him) "I'm just fighting who they want me to fight. I can say GSP (UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre) is a p***y because he doesn't want to fight me. I'm ready to fight anybody. I didn't know there was a problem. I'll fight anywhere."

(On what he is doing to prepare for a five-round fight) "I kick the heavy bag a lot, run extra miles and do extra push-ups."

(On why he has not talked trash about Zaromskis, like he has with other opponents) "I've never had a conference call with another opponent before. I just woke up, dude. I don't know."

(Closing comments) "I'm really honored to be the main event of this show. I just woke up. I'm ready to fight."

Your title is misleading.
Some dude says Diaz is ducking him. Diaz implies he's never heard of the guy, never been offered a fight with him. It would be just like Diaz calling GSP a ***** for not fighting him, when GSP probably barely knows who Diaz is and has never been offered a fight with him. It's silly.
I can't imagine either of the Diaz brothers avoiding a fight with anyone, anywhere, for any reason...

i agree.
horrible title just to grab people's attention.
taking things out of context like this is a douche move.

I'm excited to see Nick Diaz fighting again. Marius is tough, but I think he can beat him.

Zaromskis by head kick

Either a crushing KO or a slick sub. Whoever wins this fight should be entertaining

I think "the whitemare" is gonna take this one.

The Diaz brothers are both douchebags who act like thug gangbangers instead of professional fighters. The bad thing is that they can actually scrap and generally put on good fights.

I don't think it's an act. It's just the way they are. But **** it, if you can burn down an L and then lock on a gogo during a takedown your doing something right.
