When Georges St Pierra was originally set to fight
Nick Diaz it was a MMA fans dream matchup, Strikeforce champion vs. UFC
Champion. But when Diaz missed both of his pre-fight press conferences he was
forced out of his opportunity to fight the sport’s top pound for pound fighter Georges
St Pirerre (GSP). Diaz latter regained his opportunity with an impressive victory
over B.J Penn and calling out the GSP after the fight. Then another setback happened,
GSP had to have surgery on an injured knee, these events led to Diaz fighting a
new opponent Carlos Condit, and the winner of that fight would fight GSP after
he recovered. Diaz eventually went on to louse to Condit in a controversial
split decision. Diaz would then contemplate retirement, then he was suspended
for a year due to testing positive for marijuana, Diaz has tested positive for
weed in the past. A little fact, Diaz has a California medical marijuana card,
for his social anxiety. Diaz vs. GSP is
the fight fans want, but will it ever happen?
