Jay Hieron Just Wants His Title Shot

Not many fighters take a pass when the UFC leaves an offer on their doorstep. Jay Hieron did, not because the UFC didn't give him a good offer, but because Strikeforce wanted him, needed him, for a title shot against Nick Diaz.

But as soon as he committed to that shot, Diaz stripped it away from him, not going through the necessary steps to get licensed for the fight.

"I went with Strikeforce for the title shot. It's not necessarily they're fault, what happened. Now, Nick Diaz, I'm calling Strikeforce every week going, 'What's up with my title shot?'" He told Steve Cofield of ESPN 1100 radio.

"Diaz is (expletive) around. He's trying to box now and all this and that.

"That's the fight outside the UFC that makes the most sense for a world title fight. There's no other fighter really that makes sense. I want a legit contender for the title. I want to beat somebody with a name and that's Nick Diaz."

Jay is a tough SOB and I feel bad for him I hope he gets that shot soon.

I must be missing something but I thought Nick Diaz just missed this upcoming Strikeforce card because he didn't show up for his drug test in California for a license renewal.

Did Nick Diaz say anything about not fighting for a while? Or can't they just fight on another card that is outside of California where he is licensed to fight?

Jay Hieron and Mike Pile have been overlooked for a while. Diaz can't pass a drug test cause he steps into the actual fight high...literally he smokes right before he walks out....if the diaz brothers want to be take MMA serious they need to learn how to act outside the cage to be better professional athletes....I'm not just saying this cause I've trained with both jay and mike for a while I'm just telling ya how it is....nuff said....
