This Saturday, UFC 183 will be headlined by former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson “The Spider” Silva taking on Nick Diaz. Diaz is a notorious trash talker, and when he isn’t running away from interviewers, provides some amazing, thought-provoking quotes. Here’s a collection of the quotable Nick Diaz (Stockton, 209, what?!)
On Cage Fighters and Classiness

Once elbows and cages get involved, you can throw class straight out the window!

Legitimately, only Nick Diaz and The Undertaker can punch a dude in the head and also choke someone with a gogoplata.
On Life

So the Diaz life cycle is: grow up wanting to be a ninja, get a car that you have to make payments on, hopefully acquire a family that you then have to feed, bring home bread, then drive nice cars.
On Nomenclature

I have to admit, I kind of agree with Nick regarding the term “training camp”.
On the Importance of Swimming

What kind of crazy person looks at a room full of people and wonders how many would survive if the building flooded? Only Nick “Seasonally” Diaz, of course.
On Drugs

Nick Diaz believes that everyone, especially Georges St. Pierre is on steroids, and also he is incapable of passing a drug test for weed.
On Gentlemen
That might be the most thought Nick has ever put into an answer, and it’s probably the best thing he’s ever said.
On His Opponents

I’ll always love Nick saying that Takanori Gomi hit him with a Street Fighter fireball. Also, just for clarification, Diaz is talking about Lithuanian fighter Marius Zaromskis when he says a guy is speaking gibberish.
Anything else, Nick?

Okay, I guess not.
