"I'm kind of tired of being a loser. I'm still here, but I'm losing all these fights... I'm doing well though, as far as this being a job, versus the other guys that are out there. So yeah, I'm happy, I guess, to put on a show for these fans. So I don't know what to make of it right now. I don't know what people think, either."
-Nick Diaz reacts to his third straight main event loss at the UFC 183 post-fight press conference (via MMAJunkie.com).
Penick's Analysis: Diaz remains an attraction, and honestly he did more against Silva than I'm sure most expected. Still, he's got this mindset that everything he does is effective, and anything his opponents do is not, so he gets frustrated with decisions coming down in someone else's favor. But whether Diaz likes it or not, Silva was the one landing more effective strikes in greater numbers each round, no matter what else was happening. He could still have a home in the UFC if he decides to fight again, but it's probably not something we're going to see anytime soon.
