Diaz v. Penn

Nick Diaz is getting another chance in the UFC -- he's been matched against the legendary B.J. Penn -- and that's a good thing. We all deserve a second chance. Here's hoping that this time he overcomes his fear of the media and does the pre-fight press conferences. It might help him to keep in mind that although the press might ask some embarrassing questions, they are significantly less likely than Penn to put him in a painful submission hold. And although embarrassment feels bad, the feeling goes away much more quickly than, for example, a dislocated elbow. If Diaz is brave enough to step into the octagon, he's brave enough to step into the media room.
