It's pretty obvious that he was being attacked by the same bees that attacked Chris Farley in Tommy Boy. Seeing DFW in a Strikeforce shirt camera mugging was pretty surreal.

Yeah, sucks to be that guy. Even I wouldn't fight for $750. Wonder WTF Nick Diaz is thinking complaining about his salary. $175,000 every four/five months seems like a swell deal. I'm sure he got a little bump backstage after too.
Yeah, hes not making peanuts even though thats what he would lead you to believe in interviews. He continues to hit on my now ex-girlfriend from time to time when he goes to the athletic center/gym thing she works at and she says hes a pretty normal dude and not completely in his own world like he seems in interviews. Said he wasn't an asshole/douche either but women have zero ability to detect one anyway. Doesn't come off as loaded but you can't be poor to be a member there and hes usually paying the way for a group of peeps hes got with him (wouldn't call it a posse or entourage as she says its only 2-3 people usually).
maybe he just gets really anxious about interviews and loses it a bit there, hence the tangents he goes off on. That or he smokes a ton of pot to get over the anxiety and that causes the tangets
