Zuffa’s new pro-Twitter campaign has been getting quite a bit of publicity lately, this time in the form of consensus No. 2 welterweight Jon Fitch bashing Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Nick Diaz.
The former UFC No. 1 contender took to the social networking website on Saturday, where he tweeted at his AKA trainer Dave Camarillo as well as some fans.
@FitchFigher:
@DaveCamarillo why would that fight be good. Diaz got title cause Shields vacated the belt. Paper champ.
@FitchFigher:
@DaveCamarillo for realize. GSPvsDiaz=bullshit
@FitchFigher:
@NotMrRendo I will be ok to fight by the time they are saying Diaz gsp will fight.
@FitchFigher:
@MMAf0rum I’ll fight anyone. I’m out till dec. But I’ll fight anyone hopefully gsp in dec.
The Strikeforce welterweight champion since the belt was created in January 2010, Nick Diaz has been tentatively scheduled to be the next challenger to Georges St-Pierre’s UFC Welterweight Championship.
The situation surround that potential fight has been surrounded by controversy, as not only has Diaz been toying with the idea of a professional boxing fight in the near future, but the rumors of a potential Georges St-Pierre vs. Anderson Silva superfight continue to swirl around.
Unfortunately for him, with Jon Fitch out until later this year, the UFC may not have much of an option for a welterweight opponent for St-Pierre, if they want to get in another fight for him in 2011.
But Fitch has an idea for Joe Silva and the decision-makers in the UFC.
@FitchFigher:
Let’s see Shields vs. Diaz for number one contender while I’m hurt.
With Shields and Diaz being close friends and Cesar Gracie Jiu Jitsu teammates, that fight is highly unlikely to ever materialize.
If another title defense happens in 2011, Fitch may find himself frustrated again, watching another fighter get what he believes to be his shot at the UFC Welterweight Champion, GSP.
