It was one of the most shocking stories in mixed-martial-arts history.
Former Strikeforce champion Nick Diaz, handed the biggest opportunity of his career, no-showed a pair of pre-event press conferences and was pulled from a UFC 137 fight with UFC titleholder Georges St-Pierre.
The world struggled to make sense of the situation, and honestly, so has
Diaz, himself. The fiery Californian admits he dropped the ball, but
he’s shocked St-Pierre went along for the ride. And that supposed
disdain for the press? Garbage, Diaz said. Media members should feel
free to stop by his gym anytime.
