is diaz a good fighter? absolutely
is he a true professional? absolutely not
the guy comes in overweight, and not just by a pound or 2, but by 9 lbs, thats a slap in the face to any opponent that busted his a$$ for weeks to make the weight they were supposed to fight at. and the antics after the fight were so typical of diaz, very juvenile and classless. i wont go as far as to say that hes bad for the sport because his adolescent gang sign waving and trash talk will bring in fans(not the ones id like to see, but fans nonetheless), but if espn or any other major sports news outlet were to show what this guy does it wouldnt be a great thing for the sport. and to respond to what someone said about having 20 diazes or crazy horses on the roster i have to disagree, give me a bunch of rich franklins, or fedors any day, not only are these guys good embassadors for the sport, but they also are far superior fighters to the aforementioned guys.

Coming in that much overweight was pretty shameful imo. He made even Thiago Alves look respectful for only coming in 4 pounds overweight  . And then he had the nerve to call KJ Noons out? I'm sorry if these guys want title shots (diaz, alves), learn how to cut weight properly.
I don't care for disrespectful antics, but I don't mind them being present in mma because it keeps people interested i guess, but they need to be able to back them up by showing they can come in shape, and are dedicated to whatever title they are pursuing.

Diaz bros can do their job and thats all that matters in the real world. Yeah coming in at weight problem bothers me too...oh well.
If Elite XC didn't want the Diaz bros in there they would have been stopped by security. And so what if he flipped off Noons daddy. Noons goons were out of line by throwing punches and charging the diaz bros. Bottom line is Noons is scared and he's a fake. Acting out like that and then smiling like nothings wrong. Epitome of a paper champ.
