Dana White: Nick Diaz Still A UFC Fighter But Not In Need Of Fight Due To GSP Payday

BJPENN.COM News - September 13, 2013

“Nick’s obviously still on the roster. He’s still an active fighter here in the UFC, but as far as I know, he’s just not interested in fighting right now. “When Nick finally fought Georges St-Pierre, Nick Diaz made some money. So Nick Diaz has some kickback money,” White said. “He can probably take as long as he wants to fight again. I would assume that’s why (he’s not fighting).

Nick Lentz: Sidelined Conor McGregor Isn't Real, Too Fragile To Stick Around

BJPENN.COM News - September 13, 2013

“It’s bad enough that he got put on third base, but he walks and talks like he hit a triple. First order of business is to slow your stroll, sonnyboy. Beat a few guys before you start sounding off. You had the perfect venue, a receptive crowd, and all the time in the world to prepare. And what did you do? What did you prove? You landed every punch you know how to throw and the guy didn’t blink. Same with your dazzling arsenal of impact-free kicks. Then you went to your so-called “wrestling skills” and did absolute squat on the mat as well. Then you got HURT! So you have no punching power, your kicks wouldn’t stagger a baby flamingo, you can’t wrestle, and you’re as fragile as an overdone egg. You blew your knee out PLANTING YOUR LEG to KICK. And you think you can stand up to the wear-and-tear of genuine, top-level competition? Please.”

Dana White: Hendricks And GSP Look Foolish Over Drug Testing Fiasco

BJPENN.COM News - September 13, 2013

“I think it makes them both look stupid. These guys are going to get tested by the athletic commission. This is something that Georges St. Pierre wants to prove to everybody. When he fought B.J. (Penn), B.J. talked smack about him. Other people have talked stuff. The kid, not only is he another guy that’s been with us since day one, he’s never tested positive for anything even remotely close to anything bad. He’s never tested positive for anything. He’s always been a straight shooter and always professional, yet people keep talking smack about him. I just think it’s crazy for him to even do this.” During yesterday’s Google Hangout with UFC President Dana White, the UFC boss talked about the ongoing drug testing fiasco between UFC 167 main event fighters, GSP and Johny Hendricks.
