Despite the evasive eye contact, the Diaz boys are getting pretty good with media interviews. Nick Diaz spoke to Vic Mysterio of the Hammerfisting podcast, following his brother, Nate’s impressive victory at UFC 141. Mysterio asks Diaz if he thinks Georges St. Pierre was ducking him by pulling out of their February 4th scheduled battle due to knee injury and subsequent surgery. Diaz concedes that GSP is actually injured, but adds that St. Pierre’s method of training causes him to be “injury prone” which is not so much a problem for the Diaz brothers. Diaz explained:
I think he might’ve hurt himself. He shouldn’t have done that. If it hurts, don’t do it. I had to go through a lot of fights like that. You know, there were things I couldn’t do, and I couldn’t come in at 100 percent… But, no, you know, he hurt himself, and you know, the type of exercises he does too, your injury prone. You’re higher likely to hurt yourself doing explosive workout exercises. I have different type of workouts. I’m a different type of athlete, and I think that we get hurt less and we fight more. That’s why I have more fights. I have twice as many fights as most of these guys out here.”
While GSP recovers and rehabs his knee, Diaz will face Carlos Condit at UFC 143 for the Interim Welterweight Champion belt. Does he look scared? Nope. Watch Diaz’s interview below:
