UFC 143: Georges St. Pierre pulling for Nick Diaz to beat Carlos Condit on Feb. 4

On Feb. 4, 2012, Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit will do battle for the UFC Welterweight Interim title belt. In the meantime, Georges St. Pierre will be recovering from a serious knee injury, until he's finally ready to defend his own belt.

On Sat., Feb. 4, 2012, Stockton slugger Nick Diaz will take on Carlos Condit at UFC 143 in Las Vegas, Nevada, to determine who will hold the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) interim welterweight title belt. Whoever emerges victorious will not only own a new shiny accessory for their waist, but will also have a ticket to be the first to fight Georges St. Pierre when he returns from his ACL injury.

"GSP" is currently on the shelf for an indefinite amount of time because of surgery on his right knee, which will take significant time and grueling rehabilitation to fully recover.

Regardless of who wins the interim title bout at UFC 143, it makes for an interesting match up. St. Pierre was supposed to fight both men on separate occasions, all within the span of a few days. However, because of some missed press conferences by Diaz, and then an injury suffered by St. Pierre, neither fight ended up going down.

Tonight (Jan. 16, 2012), St. Pierre appeared on HDNet's "Inside MMA" to discuss his injury, as well as his feelings about "Nick Diaz vs. Carlos Condit." According to "Rush," he'd like to see Diaz come out on top:

Star-divide

"I do actually care. There are two guys that are fighting, Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit -- Carlos Condit is a very nice guy. I never trained with him but I have trained in Albuquerque along with some of his teammates, and he's a very nice guy. I like him a lot. But, the reason why I wish Nick Diaz to win this fight is that I want to fight Nick Diaz. I don't wanna fight Carlos Condit. I wanna fight Nick Diaz. But, in another way, I just hope the best man will win. But if the best man is Nick Diaz, I will appreciate it more, because it will be a better build up for a fight."

Regarding his injury, St. Pierre said that he feels like it was his own fault for possibly not listening to his body when he suffered a less painful injury to his left knee, sometime last year:

"One of the reasons why I got that injury is that I didn't do that (take enough time rehabbing). I didn't listen to myself. I had a first injury to my left knee. I tried to come back too fast and I was compensating with my other leg. That's how I hurt myself."

No champion wants to have his belt tossed around or his legacy tarnished by someone else walking around with the "interim" tag. For "GSP," the belt is irrelevant. It's just about winning the next fight:

"For me, I try to not think about the belt. When I'm going into a fight, when I fight the winner of that fight, I'm not thinking 'I'm the champion.' I'm thinking I'm gonna fight for the title. Because, if you lose, you're gonna lose the title, even if you had it before or not. That won't matter."

St. Pierre also spent a few minutes discussing some of the criticism he's taken during his career. Criticism that has gone so far as to label him as a "boring" or "safe" fighter. He acknowledges the naysayers and had a bit to say about what it's been like to be a champion under the magnifying glass:

"The thing is, when you defend the title and do it a few times, there is a routine that comes with it and people expect you to win. And they not only expect you to win, they expect you to do great. Sometimes, it can play on your mind. That's a little bit of what happened to me. I felt like I lost a little bit of motivation. That's the danger that can happen with champions sometimes."

At the end of the segment, St. Pierre reiterated just how much he is hoping for a Nick Diaz win at UFC 143. He likes Carlos Condit. He thinks he's a nice guy. But Diaz is, by far, the fight he desires:

"That's really the fight that I wanted to have and the fight was going to happen in the beginning. And it didn't happen, because he (Diaz) didn't show up for the promotion. Then after I got hurt and this whole thing happened and -- that's really the fight that I wanted to have happen. Even though I like Carlos Condit better as a person, I would rather fight Nick Diaz."

What do you think, Maniacs? Will "GSP" get his wish? Or will he find himself face-to-face with "The Natural Born Killer" next time he enters the Octagon?

Opinions, please.

GSP really wants this fight. Pre fight hype, Nick Diaz 1 , GSP 0. Your playing directly into Diaz’s hand GSP, hopefully you know what your doing.

An angry GSP is exactly what I want.

His two losses happened not because he was too hotheaded but not enough. Same goes for his fights since UFC 94. Not pissed off enough.

Agreed. This is great for fight fans, great for Diaz, I don’t know how great it is for GSP. But how awesome would it be to see angry GSP smash and finish Diaz. That would be awesomess of epic proportions.

by p123 on Jan 16, 2012 10:09 PM EST up reply actions  

He was angry with Kos! What are you talking about Yan?

He was even annoyed with Hardy. Him finishing BJ… let’s be honest. BJ just can’t last 5 rounds at 170 period. GSP did the same shit to several other guys who can’t take the punishment that BJ can and they lasted 5 rounds. I personally credit that “finish” more to lack of cardio but that’s my opinion. Either way BJ is a 155er.

I do think GSP will beat Diaz or Condit simply cause of the wrestling. That’s both of their weakness and GSP has good enough sub def for them not to get him there.

Oh and the recipe to defeat the Diaz's is

Edson Barboza or anyone that has the leg kicks he has and the powerful, quick hands that he has displayed. Those are the Diaz’s weak spots, nothing personal.

by MauiWaves on Jan 16, 2012 10:10 PM EST up reply actions  

Nick is too tall , has to big a reach, and is too tough, for leg kicks to be a major factor in his fight against GSP, or against anyone that I can think of at WW. It’s definitely a weakness, just not something that can be taken advantage of from what I can see.

by p123 on Jan 16, 2012 10:13 PM EST up reply actions  

I see your point but all I can say is if NATE Diaz

Not Nick, fought Barboza it would be a very interesting match up. Also both Barboza and Nate are coming off awesome victories, so they should schedule that bout. I’d love to see how that would unfold.

by MauiWaves on Jan 16, 2012 10:16 PM EST up reply actions  

What i saw in that cerrone fight is enough for me to see how that one would go, barboza is similar to cerrone he likes to set and throw,

Nate would keep the pressure on and would not let him get off…. That being said im not gonna say he couldn’t stop Nate, but him winning a decision i don’t see.

Starr, why are you still posting?

I left you buried alive in that Ronda/Cyborg post! lol Others are now starting to pass you around like the only lighter at a crack house for being the only one uneducated enough to think that Ronda isn’t bringing more eyes to MMA. How does the Cyborg vs Gina fight having more views prove that wrong?

That was the biggest women’s MMA fight ever cause Gina is the biggest draw. Since then it’s been down though. Go back in there please cause you’re funny and easy to beat. Just read and comprehend my posts first or you’ll start to annoy me which won’t be good for you. Ask JRE, last time I saw him was on a milk carton.

Easy there bruh...typing a lot doesn't mean you're saying a lot...

You keep yapping about how I’m not catching your point, you’ve said that so many times…instead of wasting so many posts you could have easily stated your point…but your point is wack anyway…

What you fail to comprehend is that Ronda talking about Cyborg is not doing anything for women’s MMA nor is it good for women’s MMA…she’s NOT FIGHTING Cyborg…get that through your head…they’re probably going to release a statement any day now that Ronda will be fighting Meisha…let her save that trash talk for Meisha, THAT WILL BRING MORE EYES TO WOMEN’S MMA!

Like honestly, how many more threads about women’s MMA do you see on the main page since Ronda’s been talking junk? Seems like the same flow of news to me…if anything Cyborg testing positive is what is driving these discussions…

So you say you’re burying people, but you’re not…you’re not thinking rationally at all…it’s kind of pesky that you’re looking for me in these threads but when you get at me, you’re not saying anything…I’ll give you a suggestion for your retaliation, tell me how you can ACTUALLY determine that Ronda is opening more eyes to women’s MMA

Easy there randall...

don’t get bent out of shape cause of me… again. lol

Starr, I like how you didn’t go back to the Cyborg/Gina topic. lol You’re right, typing more doesn’t always mean someone says alot but with you people must feel like they have to repeat since you can’t comprehend anything and always refer to some1 like you’re really describing yourself with your hypocritical bullshit that I constantly made you eat. Another reason why randall is butt hurt with me cause I gave him a dose of his own shit.

Don’t pretend for one sec like I’m failing to comprehend anything dumbass. That’s why every single person there agreed with me and said you’re wrong. You’re being a hypocrite once again proving me right as well.

I never said Ronda talking about Cyborg alone was the reason why eyes are on her. I never said that… talk about comprehending. lol She is bringing more eyes in general though and backing it up with her skills. That is proven and for you to try and argue this shows how ignorant you are and is why you’re getting crushed time and time again. It’s also why you stopped going back there. :)

You are getting buried, pretending that you’re not doesn’t change that you really are. Nobody who has read your stupidity would disagree actually. You can’t even live up to your own bullshit in this last post because look at all the repeating bullshit you just typed after claiming typing more doesn’t mean alot. I have lots to say about you because thats how much ammo I have on you. Keep lying about not getting buried. The only people who will lie for you are ones that I’ve buried as well. Others who have read your shit have already agreed that you’re diluted.

Diaz has clearly gotten under his skin and that could either

1.motivate gsp to have an incredible performance that fans have been clamoring for
2. it will throw gsp off his game and play into the hands of diaz

Either way I think most fans want to see that match-up instead of gsp vs condit

I would love to think Nick could submit him, who knows maybe Dan Margliotta can be the ref and we will get some quick stand ups due to lack of improvement by GSP

by letstalkmma on Jan 16, 2012 10:33 PM EST up reply actions  

That's what I'm saying...get Dan in there to ref that shiiiit

I doubt Nick would submit GSP…but he would be able to stifle GSP’s offense a lil…

The best BJJ guys GSP has blanketed are Penn and Serra, two small ass dudes…completely different frame from Nick…

I wouldn’t be surprised if GSP stands with Nick for the majority of the fight…maybe some cage rubbing

Shield did punch him but this is Starr, come on!

He’s proven to be the type of person who would sell their car for gas money. We shouldn’t expect him to understand anything.

GSP has nothing on Diaz in the stand up

quick jabs and over hand rights won’t cut it against a volume puncher like Diaz…GSP would be better off mixing it up the way he used to before he became champion

Yea maybe the face isn't what he is worried about.... Might be his equilibrium...

Because ever since the serra fight (which mind you was after the penn bout u mention) Gsp has fought timid! And am i mistaken or was GSp very worried about his eye, thank god for Greg Jackson quick work of disguising the fact that GSP said he couldn’t see. IMO a doctor should have been called in immediately and checked on Georges eye. Because Georges had worry written all over his face…
