MONTREAL -- One day after missing a scheduled public workout ahead of UFC 158, Nick Diaz put on a show.
The often sullen California fighter showed off his chatty side at a news conference today, wielding the microphone like a talk-show host.
It ranged from the poignant to the bizarre.
At times, Diaz's stream of consciousness monologues seemed to bewilder champion Georges St-Pierre. Other times, a stone-faced GSP seems antagonized.
As for Diaz, he seemed genuinely upset at the way he has been portrayed in the leadup to the fight, criticizing everything from the promotional poster to GSP saying Diaz reminded him of the bully who used to pick on him.
Diaz asked the champion: "How many times have you had a gun put to your head, Georges?"
St-Pierre responded: "I don't even know why we're asking this question."
UFC president Dana White said Diaz's performance was a "10 out of 10" in terms of craziness.
