Nick Diaz Starting to Get Under Georges St-Pierre’s Skin

Quote :

As the old adage goes, ‘It takes two to tango.’ While it is a near certainty Nick Diaz (Pictured) will show up October 29th to challenge welterweight king Georges St-Pierre for his crown at UFC 137, Diaz pulled a no-show at Tuesday’s media gathering in Canada, leaving GSP to promote their pay-per-view extravaganza all by his lonesome.

“I don’t know why he did not show up. Maybe he has personal issues, I have no idea,” St-Pierre told The Canadian Press. “I know they bought two flights (tickets) for him and he didn’t show up.

“I have no idea. I can’t talk about it because I don’t know what’s going on in his life. Hopefully he’ll be OK and I’ll see him in the cage.”

When MMAJunkie inquired about Diaz’s absence, his longtime manager, Cesar Gracie, simply stated, “Nick is extremely happy about the opportunity to fight GSP, but old habits die hard.”

Diaz’s disinterest in participating in activities not directly related to training or fighting has been well documented. In fact, when UFC president Dana White called him back up to the big leagues earlier this summer, he had a poignant conversation with Diaz about having to “play the game.”

White was referencing the need to talk with the media in order to help promote the sport, as well as his upcoming fights. Unfortunately for Diaz, yesterday’s maneuver may have backfired because it appears to have irked the baddest welterweight on the planet.

“I’m a little bit mad, because it’s a little bit unfair,” St-Pierre expressed. “I missed days of training to come here. Plus jet lag and everything. I think it’s not fair. He should do the same thing that I do.”

Nick better be at the one in Vegas today or Uncle Dana is gonna probably be pretty pissed!

If he wins he gets to do whatever he wants. If he loses he gets to go back to Bodog or Japan or wherever the "free spirits" are working today. Oh and he gets to keep his 1989 mazda or whatever he is driving.

Oh yeah Chrom.... You're right... GSP really needs to tone it down.... he forgot to call Nick ... Mr. Diaz.

Yeah, that's not a great way to get on good terms with Dana. I'm more worried about Dana's reaction to this than I am about GSP's. The worst think GSP can do is beat him. Dana can fire him, keep his name and likeness, and ban him and all his teammates from Zuffa.

Looks like I was right to worried about how Dana will react to this:
