Det var under en längre tid prat om en supermatch mellan föreddetta welterviktsmästaren Georges St-Pierre och föredetta mellanviktsmästaren Anderson Silva, men i dagsläget är det Nick Diaz som går upp till mellanvikt för att ta sig an Anderson.
Här pratar Nick om skillnaden mellan honom och Georges, via ”The MMA Hour”:
The thing about old Georges is that he’s not doing the fight. He didn’t take the fight. He barely said two things, and just like that. But, he didn’t want to fight, he’s scared to do the fight. He’s scared to do the fight at 185 pounds, and he thinks we have so much in common and he thinks that maybe I didn’t want to do the fight at 185 pounds. How does he know? Who knows, maybe I’ll have a hard time making weight. I’ll come in skinny as shit, Georges packs on like 20 pounds of muscle. That’s all I have to do to fight at 185 pounds.
So, you can look at it however you want. But, the thing is, the fact is, he doesn’t take into consideration what’s what when it comes to what’s really going down. This, you know, he doesn’t have to show up on weight. It doesn’t mean I’m not going to fight him. But, the fact is we are both going to walk out there and I am going to be a lot smaller if I try to make a catch weight and my opponent decides he doesn’t want to make weight. Then I have a real issue to deal with. That’s a possibility.
I’m not concerned about who gets fined a little small 10-percent of purse because you didn’t make weight. As far as I know, Anderson Silva has always made weight. The fact is, you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about until your actually the guy in the driver’s seat. So you can either fucking run your mouth or you can be the bull and do what you gotta do. That’s where I’m at. I don’t go ahead and give my opinion on what a fighter should have done or would’ve done because I’m not them. You don’t know what’s what, all the details. But, he’s gonna have things to say, he can say what he wants to say.
Diaz kommer att kliva in i oktagonen för att möta Anderson Silva den 31 januari, då de går match vid UFC 183 i Las Vegas.
