Diaz is an idiot. He BARELY beat Penn, whom GSP has fought and won against, not once but twice. On top of that, Diaz has the nerve to call out GSP and say he was scared, when he was the one who didn't show up for the press conferences? Even after Dana White spent thousands on plane tickets for him.
Screw Diaz. GSP will take him down, just like he did all the other cocky bastards (Koscheck anyone?) and move on the bigger and definitely badder things.

Last Saturday night, former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz gave BJ Penn a beating for the mixed martial arts ages, cruising to a unanimous decision victory at UFC 137. The brash, unfiltered fighter rocked the mic in his post-fight interview, calling out injured welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. He did not just call him out though. He made him angry -- very angry.
Diaz told commentator Joe Rogan, the fans in attendance, and a worldwide pay-per-view audience that he thought GSP was faking his injury to avoid him. GSP kept his cool when shown on camera sitting in the crowd. According to UFC President Dana White, that was not the case backstage, as he flipped his lid -- demanding to fight Diaz. He called Diaz the most disrespectful person he ever met and that he was going to give him the worst beating in UFC history.
Just like that, the UFC announced GSP vs. Diaz on Super Bowl weekend. Great news for all, except for previous number-one contender Carlos Condit. Condit was originally supposed to fight GSP before the champ had to pull out of the fight due to injury. However, Diaz was actually the original opponent all along, who was pulled out of the fight because he missed two press conferences.
According to Condit's management, he did not agree to "step aside" for GSP vs. Diaz, as White stated last weekend. Regardless, Condit will also fight on Super Bowl weekend and looks to secure his shot, while Diaz tries to make history and hand GSP the third loss of his professional MMA career.

I will pay good Christian money to see GSP teach Nick Diaz a lesson in humility he so badly deserves.
Screw Diaz. GSP will take him down, just like he did all the other cocky bastards (Koscheck anyone?) and move on the bigger and definitely badder things.
Stats since 2007
GSP recent 9 fight win streak: 6 decision wins, 2 TKO's (1 of which was a corner stoppage), and 1 submission.
Diaz recent 11 fight win streak: 6 TKO's, 3 submissions, 2 decsions.
Koscheck can't stand with Diaz and his boxing is way better than GSP.
Fitch? He lays and prays more than GSP does. No one wants to see him fight..
Diaz dominated Penn
Alves?
Hardy is a good striker, but Paul Daley is a better striker and Diaz ko'd him.
Well all we can say is hurry up February 4, 2012
And yes, should be a great fight. Even if GSP loses.. he'll start fighting like he used to I bet.
Personally, GSP should step up to the plate and take on Anderson Silva. GSP steps into the octogon around 185 lbs range.
Hmm... he doesn't look much better does he?
Penn has no cardio, this is why Diaz won. GSP has no issues with cardio.
