I watched the whole press conference. Cro Cop wasn't there and it was pretty boring until Nick showed up. Nick was pretty even keel until the fight was announced. Then he flipped shit.

Honestly, I think Dana secretly loves the guy. He doesn't have to worry about Nick fighting a Jon Fitch or even GSP-esque fight that won't appeal to the mainstream fans and no matter how ridiculous some of these things Diaz says sound, they promote the fight and make him more of a personality.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil and the buzz. If he took getting removed quietly, Dana probably wouldn't have changed the fight, but deep down he knows he'll do better buyrates with Diaz/GSP than Diaz/Condit.
