 |  Subject: UFC Prepared if Nick Diaz Pulls a Nick Diaz Sun Dec 16, 2012 6:11 pm | |

- UFC president Dana White has seen this dog and pony show before. Actually, let’s use the terminology coined by Nick Diaz (Pictured), “beauty pageant.” That’s why White is taking no chances in case Diaz decides to pull a – well, Nick Diaz – heading into his blockbuster bout with reigning welterweight king Georges St-Pierre at UFC 158.
“There’s no guarantees with Nick Diaz,” White admitted Saturday. “I’ve got nine welterweights on the show that are all in the top five. So if he falls out, we’ll still have a GSP fight.”
(Nine welterweights that are all in the top five? I’m not quite sure how that math works out, but okay.)
Diaz was originally slated to challenge St-Pierre in the most anticipated 170-pound affair in MMA history at UFC 137. However, Diaz was yanked from the pay-per-view broadcast after ditching back-to-back “beauty pageants” to promote the October 2011 extravaganza.
Even when Diaz was later reassigned to fight BJ Penn in the same event, Mr. 209 reportedly missed multiple flights to Las Vegas and checked in later than the UFC anticipated. continued... | |
