Diaz Looking Past GSP And To Superfights At 155 & 185 | UFC NEWS
“I’m always on that, looking to the future. Me and Georges St-Pierre, we’re a lot different. For me, I look past every opponent because I know I’m in this. I’m not just looking at one obstacle. I think for me it’s easier to deal with when I accept the fact that I’m never going to get out of this. It’s not just good fights, it’s fighters. I’m looking past every opponent to get to the No. 1 spot of the welterweight division and then I look past that. I look further beyond that. Like, if it were up to me, I’d take that fight with Anderson Silva. I would say, yeah, of course, I’m looking forward to being the best that can be, always. The next best thing has always been the next closer fight to the No. 1 fight, and that’s what I’ve been working toward this whole time. I always have that mindset. If I had that option available to me I would be honored to be in that position and I would be gratefully accepting of that position or fight if you will with the 185-pound champion or the 155-pound champion (Benson Henderson). I would take either fight, and I think I could beat either guy. I would like to be the guy to win a title at both weights. I’d like to be a runner-up in the pound-for-pound rankings. That’s the No. 1 goal aside from the No. 1 ranking in the welterweight division.”
Taking the opposite stance from his UFC 158 opponent, Nick Diaz says he wants to fight the two-neighboring champions and would relish the opportunity to do so.

Ya gotta be a super fighter in order to be in a super fight Diazz. What u want is like trying to make chicken soup out of chicken shit….it doesn’t work!
This guy wouldn’t even take a fight at 185 against Mayhem and then he wouldn’t go up against Braulio Estima in BJJ and now he’s saying he’ll fight Anderson Silva huh? *smh
I GOTTA GIVE IT TO NICK ON THIS TOPIC…BUT WE WILL SEE IF HE CAN GET PAST MY BOY GEORGE “RUSH” ST. PIERRE!!!…
Nick always has entertaining fights but seriously dude your gonna get crushed by gsp and now you’ll fight benson or Anderson…lay off the weed bro
I would bet against him in the GSP fight, a fight against Silva and in a fight against Bensen Henderson.
**** YOU HATERS . Nobody gives this kid the credit he deserves . Diaz will be the new WW champion !
easy chief…good to be confident, but the reality is you have to face GSP. & he is likely going to smash you; so superfights are not where you’re at.
Well,it seems to me he’s avoiding the St.Pierre fight even in his head. He always seems so distracted coming from a guy that also deals with major ADd. Ohh there goes a rabbit
I like how this guy name drops himself in with the greats of the sport. smh – you gotta wins titles and defend them for YEARS like these guys in order to gain that kind of respect.
