This past weekend, Nick Diaz no-showed at BJJ match at the World BJJ Expo in Long Beach, CA. against Braulio Estima.<Br><Br>

?I have to be honest, if there?s someone to blame it?s me," said Renzo. "Even though it was my expo, I had one guy (?Junior?) working on it and he was good at organizing it and putting it together. The only thing he?s not good at is dealing with fighters.<Br><Br>
