“I was worried about (Anderson) Silva, GSP fighting Silva. I didn’t know I had to worry about someone in my own weight class. I was pissed GSP wanted this, you know what I mean? Who cares what they say about you, who cares what they say about anything and fight the number one contender. I did everything I could to put myself into that kind of position, and then just to get it revoked from me because GSP wants something else. I’m actually fighting to get my title shot while he’s (Diaz) on suspension, then all of a sudden GSP throws his name in front of mine. I’m actually more mad at GSP. I’m not mad at anybody else but GSP for calling somebody else out. I think he is trying to stay away from me. What other reason is there, you know what I’m saying? I tried to analyze it and he says it because he (Diaz) talked trash. Who cares? That’s the point of our sport and people do talk trash and its all fun and games, who cares what someone says over the internet or what they say to your face. You fight to prove you are worthy. I feel like I have proved that I can go with GSP and I should go with GSP and here he is keeping me out of that.”
