Nick Diaz: Georges St. Pierre 'is a little bitch' who didn't try to save their UFC 137 fight from being canceled

Photo

Nick Diaz thinks his fight against Georges St. Pierre could have been saved.

The former Strikeforce welterweight champion, who was abruptly pulled from the main event pay-per-view, has been re-inserted into the UFC 137 line up to take on B.J. Penn at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Oct. 29, 2011.

And as Diaz tells MMA Junkie's John Morgan, St. Pierre did nothing to stop it:

"It makes me mad that Georges is going to sit there and call himself a fighter, but he's not going to stand up and say something about this. He's going to let it ride. I think I would say something. I would at least have said, 'I disagree. I don't agree with canceling my fight because of some dumbass [expletive].' Instead, he sat there and said, 'He doesn't have the commitment to be a champion.' What is that? I obviously have the commitment to throw my life away. I've thrown my life away and sacrificed everything so that I can fight. I did that. I threw my life away so I could work hard and train and fight. That's commitment. I wasn't going to say anything in the buildup to fighting Georges. I was going to be really respectful. Georges is a great fighter. But he's a little bitch when it comes to fighting me right now. Why is he just going along with everything? To say I don't have the commitment? I don't understand. He's the one that doesn't have the commitment. I wasn't going to say anything in the buildup to fighting Georges. I was going to be really respectful. Georges is a great fighter. But he's a little bitch when it comes to fighting me right now. Why is he just going along with everything? To say I don't have the commitment? I don't understand. He's the one that doesn't have the commitment."

Diaz disappeared early last week, missing several mandatory press events to promote his now-defunct clash with the Canadian. His absence, as well as inability to communicate his whereabouts -- even to his right-hand man and trusted trainer, Cesar Gracie -- compelled White to switch gears.

Star-divide

Carlos Condit was unexpectedly tapped to replace Diaz, which left the Hawaiian temporarily without an opponent. It didn't last long. In fact, it was a deal Penn could not refuse.

Diaz, just 24 hours removed from his public spanking, was "punished" with a co main event slot against "The Prodigy." It is certainly a far cry from being released, which was certainly an option that White had to consider based on Diaz's bizarre behavior.

Perhaps he got the messagegrew up or offered another sideways apology. On the other hand, perhaps White feels he may have overreacted after finally speaking with the Stockton slugger.

Either way, he's still mad.

In addition to the re-worked main event between St. Pierre and Condit, UFC 137 features the Penn-Diaz co-featured fight of the night while two heavyweight clashes -- Roy Nelson vs. Mirko Filipovic and Cheick Kongo vs. Matt Mitrione -- are also scheduled for the main card pay-per-view (PPV).

It is so lame!

Georges is being a professional and a champion by saying he will fight who ever they company throws at him. If he would have tried to stick to the Diaz fight people would say he is ducking Condit. Georges and the UFC did the right thing IMO. The only person being a “little bitch” is the one bitching and ducking out of there god damned duties to there company they have a contract for. Grow up!

That's one fancy kleenex box!

I seem to recall Nick not being committed to two press conferences or having the balls to tell anyone what’s up for 3 days. And NOW he calls out GSP on not being committed? WTF?? This guy needs to grow up and do his job.

exactly what i was thinking!

whats gsp’s fucking problem? That guy has zero commitment. He’s just gonna let this ride? He’s not gonna stand up and even disagree? What a bitch why would he just go along with it? I mean it was his fight too. Its all georges fault or at least partially

… and the other half of the blame lies with dana for scheduling fucking conferences where nick has to fly. i mean he knows how hard it is to get a sack past airport security.

by talkfight on Sep 14, 2011 3:21 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

i mean really...gsp should have personally picked Nick up and drove him to the airport

or at least he should have given him a reminder phone call….if a hotel can manage that then why cant gsp? i mean it’s the champs responsibility to make sure the challenger shows up for stuff, right? I mean, this has been such an ongoing problem with other challengers for the title I’m sure it’s in gsp’s contract by now, right?

No kidding eh.

He skipped on his obligation, then promised to be at the next one and skipped it too.

Meanwhile his opponent misses training time to show up and do his job.

Now the little prick thinks the guy he disrespected should have stood up for him!!

Save a fight his opponent asked for but would wouldn’t promote!!!!

What a guy….. He should have been suspended for 6 months, people from Ultmate Fighter have lost their chance to be in the UFC for less.

The problem is Diaz has been fighting weaker competition for the most part

 And it’s hard to guage were Diaz really is skill wise compared to the best UFC fighters. And because of his lack of top tier quality fighters I think Diaz will be in for a rude awaking as well facing the UFC best.

Daley caught him, that was a big indicator for me. I think Penn would put his lights out. Plus they have trained together so Penn wont be stumped by his unique confusing style

Nope.. All four are elite strikers.. it happens.

i can’t wait for this fight! just talking about it makes me happy! this is a great match up that i have wanted to see for quite some time..

 Standing BJ’s enurance is fine it in the grapple he fatigues.

The guy who wrote that awesome fanpost (it is pretty awesome) about all the outlets to MMA made a little jab calling Mania garbage which later he just mentions he was joking.

Anyways one of their staffers, Tim Burke I think made a comment, unwarranted mind you about how Mania is garbage. I commented that he made no contribution to the awesome fanpost.

I havent seen them make back handed slaps towards BE. That is the thing too. As a staffer they should know better, considering Brookhouse preached to them all about how stupid the “feud” was between the two sites yet his staffers make those type of comments which encourages the community to follow suit which gets defensive maniacs to make their jabs back.

Hypocritical.

Honestly, I had mixed feelings about his fanpost

It had some good information, but he consistently fails to write to his target audience.

Inside jokes comparing something lousy to Brock Lesnar’s striking will just leave the average new fan scratching their head. It works fine for us, but if he’s addressing people completely new to the sport, it fails. He does it frequently throughout the article.

I beg to disagree

If Nick Diaz loses he will not fight Fitch. Dana has no desire to give Fitch anything as he passed up for other 170 titlts for Hendricks. He wouldn’t fight anyone the UFC wanted him to. The AKA_exclusive rights shita nd so on. I don’t if anyone has seen a conference or gathering, watch the ‘warm’ reception Dana-Fitch have, it’s cold as ice. Dana wants Diaz to be his champion but needs Nic to play the game just a lil.

Why would Dana want Diaz to be the champion?

GSP has proven to be a huge draw and is one of the most marketed fighters in the UFC. I think he wants Nick to be a contender, but there’s no way him being champion is the ultimate goal.

Trust me GSP would draw withouta fucing belt and Diaz with a belt would mae him a draw without a belt after having one.

Agree to disagree.

While what you say about the respective drawing power of each may be true, I think Dana and the Fertittas would vastly prefer having a consummate professional as their champion rather than a volatile and flighty stoner from whom they don’t know what to expect.

The Greg this is the concern with Diaz

 Fighting is the number one draw for sure but when saying commitment I don’t think him and GSP are talking about the same thing.
 
 In the gym and octagon both fighters are commited and two of the most to say the least. But the reason the UFC is the biggest MMA org is because of the commitment outside the octagon and gym that helps the UFC and MMA grow. This is were Diaz IS NOT commited and what GSP is referring too. You wanted more money Diaz and got it but backed out of your commitment, and this is were Diaz’s stupidity shows with his statement.

You have never disappointed your old man before? well look at perfect you! and if you have, does that mean you dont respect him? Has Nick said one thing about Ceaser after he got put on blast by his respected mentor? Not one fucking word, and Ceaser painted Nick out to the world as irresponsible..

Nick respects the hell outta Ceaser and he has enough respect for his fans.. you obviously met the wrong guy, because if u had infact met the real Nick Diaz, you would NEVER talk about what he respects.

No speculation here.

Cesar is well respected in this sport. Nick is basically his top student. Nick embarrased himself, his camp and Cesar by no showing the UFC and becoming the first person to be pulled from a main event title fight in the manner he was.

His job is to attend the conferences. He is unprofessional as well as disrespectful.

No speculation what so ever.

 That reminds me of anybody talking about political bullshit. They act like they know everything about everything but in reality they are just arguing about what they hope to be true and what they wish was true.

Its pretty ridiculous imo.

I like the GSP vs Diaz better than the Condit vs GSp myself mainly because of the fighters attitudes and recognition by past experience in MMA not to mention champion vs champion

 But I like BJ vs Diaz more than BJ vs Condit for many of the same reason and Condit is the next best proven UFC fighter at WW so all in all I think the card either way is pretty exciting.

balls

Diaz, whom I like a lot, is not a huge threat to GSP, because GSP is the best at what Diaz is worst at: Wrestling.

If GSP goes up and fights Andy, the balls it takes to do that will immediately make any idiot who calls him a coward for ducking Diaz an idiot, because in effect they would be claiming that Diaz at 170 is a more dangerous fight than andy (who is now ahead of Fedor as the greatest ever) at 185. Only an idiot could think that.

I agree with the last part, but the second sentence is crap.

There are plenty of sacrifices that must be made to be a professional fighter. But I’m quite certain that “Nick being Nick” has a hell of a lot more to do with his lack of a family than his fighting career.

More bits from the article for those who dont want to go to Junkie
“I’m not trying to make all these little excuses,” Diaz today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “If I’d have known the fight was going to be off, I would have [expletive] gone to the press conference, or I would have told somebody, ‘Hey, if I don’t make it to this stupid [expletive], I’m not fighting.’ I think that people would have gotten me there. I think people would have come and gave two [expletive] and gotten me to that press conference.”
“I didn’t even know there was a press conference,” Diaz said. "I thought it was some PR thing. People were trying to tell me, ’You’re going to do this skit’ and that I was going to be a part of some PR skit where I had this part where I was walking through a hall, kind of like that scene Jake Shields did. I was like, ‘What the [expletive]? Are you kidding?’ So I’m thinking, ‘Somebody better come over here and tell me what I’m doing and get me ready to go do it so I don’t look like an [expletive].’ That’s how I feel when you’re coming to get me ready for something I’m not ready for.
“Now I’m over here getting ready to fight a guy I know that I was previously friends with,” Diaz said. “We’re not doing so good right now, but we were friends. Condit and Georges, they know each other. They’re friends. And they’re trying to make these fights out of people that aren’t even trying to fight. They’re trying to make these wrestling matches, and I think it’s kind of ridiculous. It’s not a real fight.”
“I really don’t appreciate this mother [expletive] sitting there at that press conference and laughing at me,” Diaz said. "That’s some real bitch [expletive]. He’s sitting there laughing like it’s funny or something. If I saw Georges on the street and called him a bitch, I bet you he wouldn’t do [expletive]. I bet you if I walked up and gave him a slap, I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t do [expletive]. But you can’t do that to me. That’s not how it works for me. That’s something to fight about.

When blind childish moronic babies call you a bitch

There are ignorant people and then there are blind people.
Nick Diaz is a the latter.

Diaz doesn’t know his behaviour is wrong. He just feels “misunderstood” and acts accordingly.

This is the typical state of being of someone immature and, therefore, selfish.
And I believe that Diaz’s emotional-biochemical problems makes things even worst for him but these “medical” problems are not an excuse for his behaviour.

Now he is calling GSP “a bitch” and making him responsible for the fight going bust. And his coach Cesar Gracie is letting him get away with it. That Gracie camp has no class. It’s not professional.

I predict Diaz losing against Penn. After that he will fight a couple of more fights and will disappear…

Exactly.

Not only would GSP have finished Diaz, he would have done it much faster than the 7 minutes it took Silva to finish Okami. Ceasar Gracie is a defamation cunt artist and a dishonorable loser.

Bitching incessantly does not a bitch make? Perhaps Mr. Diaz simply showing up to your contractual obligations, rather than ‘bitching out’, would of resulted in the title fight?

No worries though BJ will send you back to the regional shows where the competition is a little bummier.

Diaz is so overrated it's not even funny.

BJ will finish him. Actually i think most everyone in the top 10 has good enough wrestling to take him down and enough sub defense to stop his attacks.

Can't be a champion by just doing the easy part

There is no doubt that Nick Diaz can fight and will put it all on the line when he’s doing it. There is no doubting his courage in the ring. However a person does not become a champion by facing the challenges that are easy for them to face and it looks like Diaz has some significant challenges to overcome in learning to be responsible for himself and dealing with the less than fun parts of the career he has chosen.

Having GSP stick his neck out to save Diaz’s from his own pinheaded choices is not going to help Diaz get any closer to overcoming this. Suck it up Diaz. You are in charge of knowing what you have signed up for and fulfilling your obligations. If you don’t intend to do it, don’t sign the paper. (not that I have any clue what the contract he signed looked like, and I’m only presuming showing up for some PR was part of it)

diaz is such a little bitch. he disrespects gsp by not showijg up to his pre fight hype meetings

And then bitches because gsp doesn’t go to bat for him, like gsp owes him anything. Pathetic diaz, you’re fucking pathetic.

by Conan the Barbarian on Sep 14, 2011 1:40 PM EDT reply actions  

how can we all not think like this?

we are all MMA fans and Diaz is treating the sport with complete disrespect. Fuck that guy.

even his comments about “laying on BJ” and “they want wrestling matches not real fights” shows his ignorance towards the actual sport of MMA and we all, as MMA fans, shouldnt agree with him and his bullshit logic.

My favorite part in the press conference is when GSP was like I dont know if this is real, if he was ’idnapped by Aliens and then he says I am waiting for Nick Diaz to come out from somewhere calling me names.

Like he was getting pranked. That was genuinely the first time GSP has made me laugh.

Geez,

nicks always been one of my favorite fighters/characters in MMA. I just cant figure were he is coming from on this one. Why the hell would GSP standup or say anything, he doesnt make the rules and he had nothing to do with pulling the plug on that fight. Nick clearly just doesnt understand how life and contracts work. That said im fucking pissed that he pulled this crap cause this was shaping up to be a really good fight, two of my favorites. I dont blame dana for pulling him out of that fight but dont see the point as now he gets to fight BJ, WTF why not let him fight AS while your at it. High profile fight to high profile fight doesnt seem like just punishment for dissing the UFC, GSP and everyone else involved. BJ, GSP & AS are the three biggest names in all of MMA, he shouldnt be rewarded with that. This whole situation is really fucking stupid. Honestly I think they should drop him from the card and maybe from the UFC. Something has to give with Nick, maybe losing his meal ticket would help motivate him.
