7. Nick Diaz

Nick Diaz has made no secret of the fact that he wants a rematch from his UFC 158 fight with GSP. As someone who was in the building that night I can tell you the atmosphere was quite intense. There is no reason why the rematch would be any different.

There have been numerous accusations thrown from both side regarding their previous fight. Nick claims GSP didn’t make weight but that the Quebec Athletic Commission covered it up, he also claims that Georges was on steroids. GSP has claimed he had a serious case of food poisoning the night before.

One reason to make this fight is that it is potentially the only bout that Nick Diaz would agree to at the moment. He certainly doesn’t seem keen on accepting any other fights.

Rumours of this bout started circulating last summer when GSP was in negotiations to return. When asked GSP had this to say regarding the potential rematch:

“If they want me to fight Nick Diaz it would be my pleasure. I don’t mind, I am not afraid of Nick Diaz, I beat him last time, and I’ll beat even worse, I’ll beat him way worse next time that I’ll fight him.”
