For those of you who can’t access the video, we’ve got part of the transcript for Diaz’s comments courtesy of BloodElbow.com.
“You got your ass whipped by my boy. I didn’t jump you. I didn’t throw the first punch anyways. Why don’t you watch the tape? …You charged my whole team, so you got your ass whooped. That’s what you get.”
“You just run around and you market yourself. You paint your hair, you got that sh*t stripe down the middle of your forehead. …You have a character, you have to walk around and be that assh*le everyday. That’s too bad for you man.”
“I don’t think you can make my weight class anyways. Why don’t you come down to 170 and see what’s up. You can’t even make weight at 170 so why are you talking sh*t dude?”
Diaz also has a non-verbal message for Miller, check out the animated GIF courtesy of the UG Forums after the jump
Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Nick Diaz recently took some time out of his busy schedule to discuss his feelings on Jason “Mayhem” Miller and the possibility that the two may face off in the near future.
Mayhem recently made the possibility of the bout public during a recent Joe Rogan podcast.
If the grudge match does come to fruition, it looks like it could possibly happen in October.
Not really sure who’s fault that whole CBS fiasco between Mayhem and the Diaz brothers was, but in any case Miller sounds like he’s hoping for a shot at Nick in the future.
A “grudge match” between Bully Beatdown star Jason “Mayhem” Miller and Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Nick Diaz looks to be brewing for an upcoming Strikeforce event.
Far from strangers, the rivalry between Mayhem and Diaz kicked off following Jake Shields defeat of Dan Henderson during “Strikeforce: Nashville” in April. Mayhem entered the cage during Shields post-victory comments and interupted Shields, asking the question, “Where’s my rematch, buddy?”. Also in the cage during Mayhem’s comment was fellow Cear Gracie fighters Nick and Nate Diaz, along with Gilbert Melendez, and needless to say, all hell broke loose. Fistacuffs were thrown, feelings were hurt, and a “grudge” was born.
“We’re trying to put Nick Diaz together,” said Mayhem during a recent Joe Rogan podcast. “We got a little grudge match.”
While nothing is set in stone at this point, Mayhem indicated that the if the fight was to happen, it would likely happen in October.
“I don’t know if it’s happening yet, but I like to run my mouth off and hopefully make it happen,” said Mayhem.
Mayhem recently rebounded from a decision defeat at the hands of Jake Shields to TKO Tim Stout in impressive fashion during “Strikeforce: Nashville” on April 17, while Diaz is currently riding a 7-fight win streak that includes notable wins over the likes of Frank Shamrock and Scott Smith.
There is no word as to what weight the bout may be contested at, as Diaz normally competes at 170 lbs and Mayhem is better suited at 185 lbs. A catchweight could be a possibility.

Shields and Gilbert Melendez await word from the Tennessee Athletic
Commission to find out how they will be affected by their involvement in
an April post-fight brawl, Strikeforce officials are playing a similar
waiting game with their broadcast partners at CBS.
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told MMAjunkie.com that CBS officials have yet to contact him regarding the possibility of
broadcasting a third fight card on the network.
Nevertheless, Coker said there's no need for panic just yet, and he
remains "hopeful" Strikeforce will return to CBS airwaves later this
year.
During Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields post fight interview, Jason “Mayhem” Miller decided to take the opportunity to ask Shields for a rematch. It was definitely not the time to do that, Shields Gracie Fighter teammate Gilbert Melendez took offense shoving Miller and “Mayhem” ensued.
It’s not really clear why, but Nick Diaz (cornering Jake Shields) and Jason “Mayhem” Miller (cornering Dan Henderson) just got into a wild brawl in the cage after the Shields-Henderson main event. Mayhem got in Shields’ face, then Shields pushed him, so Diaz jumped in and Mayhem while Gus Johnson nearly had an aneurysm screaming “Gentleman, please! We are on national television!”
Miller is known as a practical joker, but both he and Shields fought for the middleweight title during the last CBS broadcast in November.
During the ensuing chaos Diaz brothers, Nick and Nate, also jumped in to deliver soccer kicks. Even Shields, who is normally a reserved person, got caught up in the heat of the moment.
“I really apologize for that,” Shields said. “That’s out of my character. [Miller] got me when my emotions were running high. He came up in my face – came up talking crap. Unfortunately I pushed him. I overreacted.”
For those that people think this shit’s a game. Mayhem Millet trying to steal Jake’s spotlight? Walk up on our camp like that? The clown got beat down.
Miller posted that note from his Twitter page after the incident.
Miller’s actions could be excused if it wasn’t a live national TV broadcast but I think MMA fans will be hearing about this one for awhile.
