"Where you at, George?!?!"
So yeah, the "unification" match between (former) Strikeforce 170 Champ Nick Diaz and the UFC 170 Champ George St. Pierre is officially on.. This is gonna be an awesome fight.. Diaz is prolly the only fighter who can match GSP's cardio.. GSP will be stronger and have better wrestling but Diaz ground game is fucking siccccc.. I mean Penn couldn't do anything and he almost had his back.. That being said, with what Dana quoted GSP as saying about Diaz being the most disrespectful fighter he's ever seen and how he's gonna beat his ass could be a scary thing if you are Diaz.. I wouldn't want GSP that pissed at me.. But, GSP has never been one to fight with emotion, while Diaz thrives off of it..
This fight will be AWESOME..
P.S. Dana said Condit wants to fight on this card scheduled for SuperBowl weekend.. Who will he fight?? Koscheck?? Fitch?? Elllenberger?? Rumble??

I don't think GSP is going to want to stand with Diaz. I see George trying to use his wrestling early and often not only because it is likely the most effective way to fight Diaz, but because it will frustrate the hell out of him.
Dana said that Condit would get "the next guy" (i.e., the winner of Diaz/GSP). Koscheck's only just getting back and he's already fought Ellenberger. Fitch might be the most deserving, but Rumble is definitely more intriguing.

Condit's manager says they didn't bow out as easily as Dana White lead people to believe after 137..
Malki Kawa had a bad feeling when he heard his phone ring and looked at the caller ID. It was then that he realized UFC president Dana White was on the other line. UFC 137 had just ended 30 minutes earlier, and it was already after midnight on the east coast. It was not a time for mindless chit-chat. It was a time for serious business.
As is his style, White cut to the chase. Georges St-Pierre no longer wanted to fight Kawa's client Carlos Condit next. Instead, the UFC welterweight champ wanted to fight Nick Diaz, the winner of UFC 137's main event. We all now know the outcome. St-Pierre got the fight he wanted, and he'll be fighting Diaz in early February. Condit? He wasn't too happy, and he didn't exactly "step aside" as White told the media at the post-fight press conference.
"I could understand them coming to us like that," Kawa said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "The issue with the whole 'he decided to step aside,' obviously, that wasn't the case. There was no just stepping aside. There was a little bit more than that. It's going to take more than that. I think we're way more upset with Georges and the way Georges handled it than we are with the way Dana presented it or anything like that."
Everything changed in the moments after UFC 137. Diaz got the ball rolling by saying St-Pierre was scared and by questioning his injury just after his main event win. According to White, St-Pierre then "flipped out" and demanded that he bypass Condit and face Diaz next.
But as Kawa pointed out, Diaz had previously called out St-Pierre after he was originally replaced with Condit, and St-Pierre never responded. In addition to that, St-Pierre had gone on record saying that believed Condit presented the tougher challenge.
"I don't know if the emotions of the moment got to him, and he just decided to do that," Kawa said. "It's kind of un-Georges-like."
Kawa said that he and Condit didn't step aside as graciously as it sounded, describing the ordeal as "gut-wrenching."
"[Carlos'] words were, 'My heart hurts,'" he said.
But ultimately, Kawa said that they are "company men" who made the move that the promotion wanted. He also suggested that there was some financial reward for bowing out.
"Dana always does the right thing and in this case, he'll do the right thing again," he said.
Kawa said he tried to keep things in perspective by noting that he originally got Condit moved into the title slot with some hustle of his own, and that sometimes, that sort of thing works against you. He even candidly admitted that if he was Diaz's manager, he would have lobbied for the fight, too.
"Are we pissed off about it? Absolutely," he said. "But it's not like I've never been on other end of stick where I put one of my fighters ahead of someone else and another guy got shafted or screwed over. It's just business, it's not personal. It's nothing personal with Georges. Are we upset with him? Absolutely."
Meanwhile, Condit has every intention of fighting again instead of waiting to take on the St-Pierre vs. Diaz winner. Kawa said the UFC has thrown out some possibilities, but that nothing has been decided upon. The biggest factor is that it has to be someone that Condit can gain something from in fighting, mentioning Josh Koscheck and Jake Ellenberger as possibilities.
"It's more about whoever brings the most to the table," he said. "We want to make it a big-money fight. Whoever that is. Make it a big-money fight. A No. 1 contender, possibly make it a five-rounder if we could. And somebody who win, lose, or draw, we can take something from it."
Kinda feel bad for him but Diaz is def the bigger money fight than Condit so I see why UFC did what they did..

I don't feel bad for Condit at all. It was never his shot to begin with. He got it because Dana is a reactive control freak. There's no way in hell he could have thought that the fight would stay the same if Diaz went out and destroyed B.J.. From a fan and financial perspective, Diaz vs. GSP is the fight to make.
Love how his pathetic agent is blaming GSP instead of growing some balls and calling out the one actually responsible for the change, Dana. If the champion's opinion on who he fights mattered to Dana, Anderson would never fight Chael.

Fuck yes. GSP/Diaz & Condit/Koscheck. So far so good.
I'm going to get to watch Nick win the Welterweight title and then watch the Falcons win the Super Bowl. Two nights of drunken revelry.
