Florian agrees with Diaz that GSP is scared of fighting Anderson Silva
Kenny Florian: “So is [Georges St-Pierre] scared? [of fighting Nick Diaz] Yes, and that’s also what made him one of the best champions of all time.”
In recent weeks Georges St-Pierre said that he felt it was a mistake for Nick Diaz to fight Anderson Silva at middleweight. Diaz responded saying he felt like St-Pierre himself was scared to fight Silva at middleweight and former UFC contender Kenny Florian agrees:
Any champion or fighter always wants the odds to be in their favor, Florian said. For him to go up in weight at 185 pounds and fight a guy like Anderson Silva who many consider the greatest of all time, well, I think it’s a smart decision by Georges. Georges wanted to fight more at a catchweight of 175 (pounds), maybe even 170 pounds, where it would be in his favor.
So is GSP scared? Yes, and that’s also what made him one of the best champions of all time.
