Joe Rogan on Nick Diaz

Again, it is an expression of the individuality, the authentic truth of who Nick Diaz is. That's why that's art. We were just talking art and fight. That's a fight. This was a great, and he got clipped. That's a fight, but that's- Let's watch a little bit of this here, man. Look at this. Because he just kept the pace. He's just refusing. Yeah, Paul just got too tired, too quick. He was winging big shots. And look at Nick just- Oh, is that right there? See, he got clipped. That's his left hook you're talking about. This is over, okay? There, we're done. No? Because Nick won't be done. Yeah, well, I mean, who knows? Maybe if Paul's in better condition, but this is the end. The end is Nick just battering him. It's crazy that he beat him in his striking contest. But he did it with Will. He was always a great boxer. And again, this is a metaphor for life. Like you got a wall- That was sort of the greatest victories ever. Yeah, it's unbelievable. It really was. That was the quintessential Nick Diaz fight. Look at him. Yeah, I know, right? And there are people who don't like him. Oh, I love that guy. Me too. Because what we're searching for, I think, is we're trying to be authentically who we are. I think that's all we're doing. That's what Nick Diaz is. Whatever the fuck you think he is, he is authentically Nick Diaz. And the metaphor to me is Paul Daley is a wall. And you can, you can dig under it, or you can go around it, or you can trick somebody to give you a rope, or you can climb it, or you can dissemble it. And Nick's like, fuck it, I'm going to go through it. I'm going to go through it. And there are many ways to choose to live your life. And that's how Nick Diaz lives his fucking life. And that's beautiful. What sucks is that he hasn't fought in forever. I mean, he hasn't fought since the Anderson Silva fight. That's crazy. And it's crazy that they suspended him from marijuana when Anderson Silva tested positive for steroids in that fight, and he got a shorter suspension than Nick. That's a reflection. That's a cultural, leftover cultural- Well, it's also that Nick refused to pay the fine. Because that's Nick Diaz being authentically Nick Diaz. He's like, yeah, you're not getting that money from me. See ya. But you can admire that. Some people will look at that and go, dude, just pay it. It'll go this way. And he's like, no, fundamentally who I am, I cannot do that. I will get negative consequences in my life, but I will be authentic to who I am. But Nick is like 36 now, I think. How old is Nick Diaz now? 34? He's 34 now. Yeah. His first fight in UFC, I believe he was 20. When he fought Jeremy Jackson way back in the day, he was 18. He's been around, man. He's been around. So he's still literally in his physical prime. And this is crazy considering the fact that I want to say the Anderson Silva fight was three years ago. Probably. Yeah, it feels right. Somewhere around there. I would love to see him back in there again. I don't know. You got to do what you want to do, though. I don't know if he really, truly that's what he wants to do. He'll find a way to do it. And if he doesn't.
