"He's Nick Diaz. There's a lot of things Nick says that make him Nick. It is what it is. I believe that he doesn't enjoy fighting. When you hear him talk about what he does and why he does it – everything that guys says is the reason he is who is who is. The way he fights, his demeanor, all make him Nick Diaz. A lot of people don't like going to work, but you've got to do what you've got to do. He might not enjoy it, but that's what he does and that's how makes a living. Not everyone is going to love what they do... I'm pretty pumped for that fight. Anderson, I can't wait until he comes back. He's one of my favorite fighters. And you know Nick Diaz. He's exciting and that's the fight Nick wanted, that's the fight the fans wanted to see, so we did it."

-UFC President Dana White this week commented on Nick Diaz's contention that he doesn't enjoy fighting, along with giving some thoughts on Diaz's fight with Anderson Silva (via MMAJunkie.com).

Penick's Analysis: White cuts to the point with Diaz here. Regardless of whether or not he enjoys fighting, it's how Diaz makes his money, and it was inevitable that he'd come back at some point. That it's coming against Anderson Silva makes it even bigger, but eventually he was going to come back to work. That's what he's doing now, and we'll see him in there come February.
