Nick Diaz says B.J. Penn is better than GSP

I think B.J. is a lot better fighter to be honest with you, on a technical standpoint. He’s much better at jiu-jitsu, boxing, even on a physical level I wouldn‘t count him out. I don’t think he should be fighting at this weight, said Diaz on a recent media conference call. I think he’s a much better fighter than GSP all-around.
Diaz isn’t happy about fighting Penn, someone he knows, likes, and has trained with in the past
I’m not happy about it at all. I’m fighting a guy that’s my friend, or was my friend and now I’m fighting this guy. I’ll be set to fight, said Diaz. I signed to fight a certain guy (St-Pierre). I thought we had a deal. That’s kind of where I’m at on it
I’m going to deal with it. This is hard times, just like it’s been. I’m not expecting it to get any easier, he continued. This definitely doesn’t make it any easier. I don’t like fighting people that I already know, or I’ve already met, or trained with, or have video on me. We’ve spent a lot of time training together. It’s kind of shady feelings going into fights like that. I’m just doing what my manager says.
