UFC 143: Diaz vs Condit går i helgen i Las Vegas och Georges St Pierre håller tummarna för att Diaz vinner.
GSP har varit titelhållare i weltervikt sedan våren 2008 men en knäskada har tvingat honom att dra sig ur matcher med både NIck Diaz och Carlos Condit. GSP är opererad och rehabiliteringen går enligt uppgift bra och GSP hoppas på en comeback under året. Men i helgen får han alltså hålla till godo med att vara publik då Diaz och Condit gör upp om interimbältet i weltervikt.
Georges St Pierre:
“I respect Carlos Condit, but I want Diaz to win. It will be a weird feeling, sitting at the Mandalay Bay wanting Nick Diaz to win. I want this fight with Diaz so badly, as badly as I wanted the title shot when I got down on my knees. I have never asked (UFC President) Dana White for anything, but I did ask to fight Nick Diaz. I was (crushed) when I had to pull out of this weekend’s fight hurt, but I am determined to get back to the Octagon as soon as possible to fight this guy. He needs to hold up his part and beat Carlos Condit on Saturday to make this fight happen.”
“The way I see it, I am not the champion anymore on Saturday night. I have not fought since April, against my will, but I understand the champion must fight. You have to put the belt on the line in order to call yourself champion, the best in the world. Right now I am not the best in the world, I am injured. The winner of this fight on Saturday will be more than just the new No.1 contender, but he won’t be the new champion either. The winner of this fight will have to beat me to become the true world champion and I will have to beat the winner of this fight in order to call myself the best in the world again.”
