Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler had really exciting first two rounds of the fight, but in the third round of the fight, Diaz was unable to continue further after getting caught with a blow on the leg. Daniel Cormier defended Nick Diaz’s decision to not continue further and added,

“I kind of take a different view of it. Remember, this is Nick Diaz, who threw in the towel when his brother was getting beat by Josh Thomson. This is Nick Diaz as a veteran of the game who understood, ‘this is not going my way,’ so he pulled the plug.”

Cormier concluded, “I don’t think Nick should be judged as a quitter, I think Nick should be judged as a person that just knew, ‘hey, this is not for me right now.'”
