GSP vs. Diaz 2?
There’s been a lot of water under the bridge between Nick Diaz and Georges St-Pierre. Diaz’s camp even recently claimed that St-Pierre had poisoned him before their fight. GSP won their UFC 158 battle by unanimous decision.
Why have these two once again been lined to a rematch at this stage? Well, firstly Diaz called out GSP last week by saying he was avoiding a rematch. Then there’s the accusations of poisoning before UFC 158.
GSP Responds
Georges St-Pierre spoke to MMAFighting.com to respond to Nick Diaz’s poison accusations. He also blasted Diaz for making excuses. Check it out:
“I beat him, but there was a lot of animosity,” St-Pierre said. “I didn’t feel I fought well that fight. He says I poisoned him and all that kind of stuff. Whatever. He has very good excuses. Even myself, I could make excuses, but I’m not that type of guy. Trust me when I say I didn’t fight as well as I wanted to and it would be fun to do it again.”
“There’s a lot of options,” GSP said of prospective opponents. “I know a lot of guys have called me out. … Everybody is dangerous this game, I know. People say I’m ducking this guy, I’m ducking that guy. I’m not ducking anybody.”
“I’m not scared of this guy and it would be fun to be welcomed in the cage after a long layoff to fight a guy that has such a stature, that sort of skillset,” St-Pierre said of Diaz. “He’s a very dangerous guy, Nick Diaz. it would put me right back in the water where I left it, at the very world-class caliber level. I would welcome the challenge. I’m not a guy who would shy away from a challenge like that.”
