Moments after beating B.J. Penn in the main event Saturday night, Nick Diaz told a Mandalay Bay Events Center crowd he thinks UFC champ Georges St-Pierre faked an injury in order to avoid a fight with him.
The move earned St-Pierre’s attention, and UFC president Dana White said Carlos Condit has agreed to step aside in order to make the fight it seems everyone now wants to see.
“I’ve known Georges St-Pierre since 2004,” White said. “He’s one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met, and he’s always exactly the same no matter what the situation is, no matter who he’s fighting. Since 2004, I’ve never seen him like he was tonight. Georges St-Pierre flipped out tonight after Nick Diaz was in the ring, and Nick needs motivation. He’s got it. He’s going to fight Georges St-Pierre.”
“Carlos Condit has agreed to step aside and get the next guy. [GSP] said, and I quote – you’re going to think I’m full of s—, but this is the truth – I quote, ‘He’s the most disrespectful human being I’ve ever met, and I’m going to put the worst beating you’ve ever seen on him in the UFC.”
White said the bout will likely take place Feb. 4 in Las Vegas, at the company’s traditional Super Bowl weekend event.
