    Nick Diaz called out Georges St-Pierre after his win over BJ Penn at UFC 137, calling the incumbent welterweight world champion scared. According to Dana White, this incensed St-Pierre, who demanded a match with Diaz (as originally scheduled before some bad luck derailed the card) and has been obliged. St-Pierre was originally scheduled to face Carlos Condit in January/February but will now face Diaz instead. Condit should feel hard done by but was a replacement fighter anyway--and could get his chance eventually with a win over a top contender such as Jon Fitch or Josh Koscheck.

    GSP said: "he's the most disrespectful human being I've ever met and I'm going to put the worst beating on him."

    Nick Diaz got under GSP's skin. Nice.

    I think GSP lays on him for 5 rounds.

    Tough fight for GSP. Doubt he wants to box with Diaz and his guard is a dangerous place, too. It was compelling before and is still so.

    Re: GSP demands fight with Diaz, UFC books it for Superbowl weekend, Condit steps asi

    I think he'll wrestle fuck him to death for 5 rounds. I see that being the only way he wins this. I think Diaz outclasses him on the feet and would pepper his way to a decision or a late round KO. I think GSP will be able to take Nick down pretty much at will so I think the only thing GSP needs to worry about is getting caught in a guillotine or a triangle.

    I hope Diaz pulls it off, though.

    Diaz is going to whoop GSPs ass.

    So I take it no Chael\Anderson fight on Superbowl weekend like Dana said?

    It was expected for UFC Rio 2, dunno if that is still the case with Silva & Belfort being targeted for the coaches of Ultimate Fighter Brazil.

    Re: Update: Condit's manager says they weren't given a choice in relinquishing title

    Condit's manager (Kawa--same guy Jones has, same guy Mitrione fired on air) says they weren't given an option--the title shot was taken away, and they are pretty down about it.

    To be fair, the shot was Diaz's in the first place.
