Yes, Stockton California is not exactly paradise, but Nick and Nate talk as if they come from a whirlwind of misery and poverty in the third world. I find it really curious that people have this perception of the Diaz brothers as if they grew up in a freaking war zone. I've just realized I spent way too much time thinking about this lol. Sometimes I find them cringe and sometimes I think they're hilarious. I actually think that's really pussy and retarded, but that's definitely how gangsters act. They seem to be down to jump people, even at public events and throw up hand signals. People that got into cage fighting when there wasn't much money in it and have their kind of personalities makes me feel that it's okay for them to call themselves gangster. It doesn't seem to me that they have a fake persona though like a Colby. I lived in some pretty fucked up areas of Northern California and some pretty nices ones. They quite possibly could have had it rough. I used to live down the street from his gym. Richard Perez gym where they train boxing is in Manteca, which can be super nice or super fucked up 1 street over. They're from Lodi, which is where that famous Credence Clearwater song comes from. But Stockton is pretty bad man, and lot of the surrounding areas are pretty meth'ed up. I understand the scrutiny that the Diaz brothers get because they aren't actually from Stockton. Have you ever been around ghetto people? Or people that went to prison? They talk like the Diaz brothers lol. They may try to keep a low profile, but everything points to them having some pretty shady ties and being actual thugs.Ĭlick to expand.The people that I'm talking about are in their 40s now, so they don't talk like that anymore, but they used to when they were younger. I think that this is one of the reasons that all these Caucasian fighters are so scary.

This is the part people on this board keep missing and it is a recurring topic, let it be Jeremy Stevens talking all the time about being a Mexican warrior, Diaz projecting that gangster stuff, Conor about all the shit he is saying all the time, etc. Honestly, if I was to brand myself as a gangster for marketing reason or getting fights (ok nobody would buy that for a second, lol) I would expect some scrutiny with regards to that.

Does that apply to the Diazes? I don't think so. People who did fucked up things usually keep it to themselves and if they don't they usually are willing to back it up. I doubt that these genuinely dangerous people that you know would refer to themselves as "gangster" and talk about that "hood life" or whatever the hell the Diazes are rambling about all the time.
