[Funny Chat 'Bout] George "Rush" St Pierre V Nick Diaz: UFC 158

Not so long ago, Nick Diaz was looked at as one of the best up and coming fighters in the UFC. Sure he was a tad unpredictable but that was small stuff like saying something stupid. But over the years his behaviour has become more and more volatile leaving me to wonder why does Dana White keeps giving him chances? I mean seriously, why do you keep this fool around?

In Jamaica we have a saying, "full a big speech but dem backitive weak." And personally I think someone should say this to Nick Diaz. What does it mean? It simple means this:  if he is going to run his mouth he really should have something to back it up. This is the second time these two were set to meet. For years Nick Diaz has been begging Dana White, president of the UFC, for a chance at George "Rush" St. Pierre and each time Dana White give this little punk a chance he does something stupid.

To look at George St. Pierre you wouldn't be able to tell he is a good guy--humble, not many words, respectful. I mean the guy is one of the sexiest men on the face of this earth yet he has the heart of a darling. He is respected by many fighters and other athletes who call him "classy" and "respectful." So when he is quoted as saying, "he's [Nick Diaz] 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," you know something is up and he's getting truly tired of Nick Diaz and his tantrums.

For years the animosity has been building between these two. St. Pierre trying to stay out of it and Diaz going MIA before fights, missing appearances and news conferences, having Dana White and other UFC officials trying to find him - this was quickly becoming old.

Before their fight at UFC 158, Nick Diaz went as far as to say St. Pierre was on drugs.  Now, any other athlete would punch him in the mouth just for being a dick but not St. Pierre. This kid doesn't do much talking outside the ring.

Finally, at UFC 158 the two met in Montreal and it was on. St. Pierre pissed because Nate had a big mouth and Nick pissed because his [Nick's] because his life is an epic fail.  When the dust cleared, St. Pierre was still the welterweight champion and Nick Diaz had come to have a new respect for the Canadian native.

George St. Pierre came out in beast mode and knocked the stuffing out of a lack luster Nick Diaz. It was almost as if Nick did not show up and his un-programmed clone did.  St. Pierre won due to unanimous decision 50-45. 

And twitter got hit hard afterward:

@dooda1414 tweets : "Diaz's a bully . GSP is a MMA artist . Good night."

Jordan Eberle @ebs_14 tweets : GSP obviously likes to be on top.

Phillpe Aumont @p_aumont17: Nick Diaz is a joke.. Good fighter.. But a joke.. " I dont wanna make any excuses , but" but what!!! You got beat by a better fighter hahah!

It gets worse for Diaz. Other athletes have lost all respect for the fighter. Barry Enright tweets "Diaz would try to go after GSP AFTER the bell. Hope he gets his a** knocked out #Punk" Mathieu Darche tweets, "Diaz can't even give GSP any credit! Still a bum. Classy GSP again. What an athlete and competitor."

I became a UFC fan because of George St. Pierre. Not because he was Canadian (that helps) or because he is good looking (that TOTALLY helps) but because of a sense of humility I saw him with. Respect goes along way to me so when I noticed so many fighters would fight then at the end, even though they won, they would rush over to check on their opponent, or give their opponent a hug or the losing fighter would raise the winning fighter's hand or show respect by bowing to each other--that made me start watching the UFC.

With punks like Diaz, I get turned off by the sport - then St. Pierre does what he did in UFC 158 and my love is restored. After the fight, St. Pierre still had something nice to say about Diaz and Diaz, well he threatens to retire....again....remember his win over Carlos Condit?

To his threat or retiring I have this to say to Nick Diaz - Good riddance to bad rubbish.
