Takedown: The DNA of GSP Page #6

answer back to Nick Diaz

and say F-word and this and that...

Of course I wanna do it.

There is nobody...

You know what I mean?

I wanna answer back.

I would like, you know, to...

But it's not...

Like I said, I stand for something

bigger than myself.

Even though I wanna do it,

I have a line of conduct,

and I want to respect that.

(DIAZ):

- There are two words in this

PHRASE:
"mother" and "f***er."

This would imply strongly

that the person to whom

the term is directed

literally has sex

with their own mother.

However, Nick Diaz does not

use it in this fashion.

He uses it to mean "human being."

(DIAZ):

- Good morning, motherf***er!

Excuse me, motherf***er!

- He makes me angry!

I shouldn't lose my cool.

- Listen, what we have to do...

- He made me angry.

- Laugh and smile at him.

Let's break this down.

What was the pivotal

moment of this interview?

I'll tell you what it was...

- When I said I don't fear him.

I'm not afraid of him.

- Exactly, there was a "before" moment

and an "after" moment.

When you said:

(GEORGES):

- At that moment,

Nick Diaz switched tactics.

He went from testing

the waters with wild aggression

to playing the role of victim.

That's what's gonna

happen in this fight.

He's gonna get bolder

and bolder by the minute.

But if you come back hard

with effective,

technically-based aggression,

he's gonna become

like a spoiled brat,

and he's gonna back down,

he's gonna lose the fight.

(ROGAN):
He's dangerous!

The ground and pound with Nick

Diaz is gonna be very tough.

He's a very skilled fighter.

It's beating guys

like Nick Diaz...

Or should I say facing the challenge

of a guy like Nick Diaz...

That truly makes greatness.

- Georges likes to say

I remind him of the bullies

that picked on him growing up

or that he had to deal with.

You know, I'm gonna say:

How many times have

you had a gun to your head?

How many times has someone

put a gun to your head?

How many of your best friends

have been shot through the chest with a.45?

How many kids put gum

in your hair, growing up?

I mean, we have to deal

with these things.

- I'm sure my past

doesn't compare to Nick's,

and I don't even know

why we're asking this question.

The reason why we're fighting each other

is because I believe Nick

is the best guy right now

in mixed martial arts,

and I'm fighting him

because he's the best guy.

It has nothing to do with...

- Yeah, but you told the fans

that I deserved to get beaten down,

and you told the fans that

I chase you around or you...

- You told the fans I was

scared of you and avoiding you.

- I got the fight, right?

You can understand that.

- Absolutely.

- I'm working towards something.

Isn't that what happened?

That's what happened, bro.

- Do you really think

I'm afraid of you?

- Man, that's fine. Okay, no, I don't.

- You think I'm afraid of you, man?

Are you crazy in your head, man?

I'm not scared of you!

You'll see Saturday

if I'm scared of you!

- Okay, I'm intimidating, right?

That's my plan, to intimidate you out?

(GROWLING)

(ROACH):
For the wolf,

it's live or die.

And for us in the ring,

it's live or die.

(ANNOUNCER):

And now...

it's time!

Five rounds for the undisputed.

UFC welterweight

championship of the world!

Fighting out of the blue corner...

(DIAZ):
Where you at, Georges?

(ROGAN):
When they

question Georges's will,

and they question

Georges's confidence

and Georges's resolve...

it's so dumb!

It's the worst thing you can do.

He's lived with

this demon of doubt

that he knows for a fact

is bullshit,

and he's there to shove it

right down your f***ing throat.

- Protect yourself at all times.

Obey my command at all times.

If you wanna touch gloves,

do it now, go back to your corners.

Fight!

(SOFT MUSIC)

(SOFT MUSIC)

- No, it's nothing.

- Yeah.

(CROWD):
GSP! GSP! GSP!

(CROWD):
GSP! GSP! GSP!

GSP! GSP! GSP!

(CHEERING)

(SOFT MUSIC)

(CROWD CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE)

(DAHANER):

Georges got off at the airport

after around @@ hours

in a plane,

and he went straight

to a local gym.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

"22 hours on a plane?

No f***ing problem.

"There's a gym. Let's go train."

In normal life,

I'm a very peaceful guy.

But what I do for a living,

my work, is to win a fight.

And in order to win a fight,

sometimes I need

to hurt my opponent.

These two things

contradict each other.

(THE HEAVY SINGING

HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW)

Now there was a time.

When you loved me so.

I could have been wrong.

But now you needed to know.

See, I've been a bad,

bad, bad, bad man.

And I'm in deep.

Yes, I am.

I found a brand-new

love for this man.

And I can't wait till you see.

I can't wait.

So, how you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

Remember the time.

When I eat you up?

Yeah, I wasn't lying.

Oh, yes Hey.

If I was to cheat on you.

Now, would you see right through me?

If I sing a sad,

sad, sad, sad song.

Would you give it to me?

Would you?

So, how you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

How you like me now?

Does that make you love me, baby?

Does that make you want me, baby?

Does that make you love me, baby?

Does that make you want me, baby?

Oh yeah.

Oh! Oh yeah
