In the main event of this Saturday night’s UFC 158 fight card is a welterweight title fight between champ Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz.
On Wednesday, the UFC held their traditional open-workouts for the Montreal event and St-Pierre took part, however Diaz decided to no-show the obligations.
Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com had the chance to catch up with St-Pierre and he reacted to the 209 bad-boy not showing up.
“It’s not fair. It’s a commitment. I don’t like it. I despise it, actually, but I have to do it. It’s part of the game. He will show up. I’m pretty sure he will show up. He would be crazy to not show up. He’s a smart guy, he just has anxiety problems in front of the people. He will show up and the fight will be good.”
