Nick Diaz lets fans down again

Nick Diaz no showed the world jiu-jitzu Expo where he was suppose to have a grappling match with the jiu-jitzu superstar Braulio Estima. With Nick being one of the best MMA fighters right now it would have been great to see how he fared against one of the the best jiu-jitzu artists in the grappling realm.

Diaz use to hold the welterweight title in Strikeforce until he moved up to the UFC. Once he made the move to the sports biggest organization the pressure appeared to have caught up to him. He was guaranteed a shot at the belt with the current UFC champion GSP until he no showed a pair of press conferences. He was able to rebound with a win over BJ Penn to get another shot at the interim title against Carlos Condit but was defeated.Yet again Nick let down fans not because he lost but he tested positive for drugs after the fight leading to a suspension.

Now he has let down fans again. On the brighter side his younger brother Nate Diaz has just gotten a shot at the lightweight title after winning a number 1 contender bout against Jim Miller. Nate has never backed down from a fight and in my opinion he is the better fighter of the two. Even though the older brother normally sets the example in this case Nick could learn a thing or two from his younger brother.
