Georges St-Pierre har många valmöjligheter av motståndare vid en comeback i UFC. Tyron Woodley vill gå sitt första titelförsvar i weltervikt mot GSP, men även Michael Bisping och Donald Cerrone har uttryckt önskan om att få möta kanadensaren.
GSP berättar dock själv att han är intresserad av att gå en returmatch mot Nick Diaz. De två möttes vid UFC 158 under 2013 och St-Pierre segrade då via ett enhälligt domslut. Diaz har sedan dess begärt en retur och hävdade att GSP missade vikten, något som kommissionen ska ha mörkat.
Det här berättade St-Pierre via ”MMAFighting”:
It could be very possible to happen.
I beat him, but there was a lot of animosity. 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. 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. 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.
