Georges St-Pierre versus Nick Diaz at UFC 140?
You may want to take a rain check on that one.
UFC President Dana White recently spoke to HeavyMMA about rumors pitting the UFC and Strikeforce champion against one another in a superfight on December 10 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
“No,” said White. “That fight is not a done deal. Not even close. All the stuff that’s out there about that meeting that we had here is bullshit.”
Diaz was set to make his professional boxing debut against Jeff Lacy, and his camp stated that only a big money MMA bout could deter the champ’s boxing ambitions.
After St-Pierre defeated Jake Shields in April at UFC 129, White hinted at the post-fight presser that a bout between St-Pierre and Diaz could be on deck. After Diaz pulled out of his boxing bout with Lacy, many assumed the superfight was a lock.
Along with a December 10 fight date, both champions were rumored to serve as opposing coaches on Season 14 of The Ultimate Fighter, but White quickly debunked those rumors as well.
“I guarantee you that those two will not be coaches.”
What’s next for St-Pierre and Diaz then?
It looks like fans will simply have to wait to find out.
