Nick Diaz is the next man to fight welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, something that 26-year-old Jake Ellenberger himself wants in 2012.
“(Nick Diaz) likes to run his mouth, I don’t get him. He just likes to talk and he is what he is,” Ellenberger said
“He’s gonna get his coming against GSP. GSP’s motivated, I don’t see what Nick’s going to bring to the table. Jake Shields was a more difficult fight for GSP.
“GSP’s a lot faster than Diaz, Diaz has no power, he’s not going to knock him out. He should have finished BJ and he couldn’t even do that.
“His slap-box game… I would like to fight Diaz. Ideally I’d love to fight Diaz, his little patty-cake game he plays, man if he played that with me I’d put him down for sure, 100 per cent. If you did that where I come from, you get your ass whooped.
“But GSP’s faster than him, he can take him down and he’s better than him everywhere. So I don’t see the point of that fight.”
