GSP vs Nick Diaz Superfight set for October

32 minutes ago, UFC president Dana White tweeted
U wanted it! U GOT IT!!! GSP vs DIAZ Oct 29th UFC 137 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

UFC President Dana White’s tweet Wednesday afternoon was short and sweet – “U wanted it! U GOT IT!!!”

What the fans wanted was a showdown between UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and the STRIKEFORCE welterweight title holder, Nick Diaz. So on October 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, the UFC 137 Superfight becomes a reality.

Unbeaten since 2007, St-Pierre has taken on and beaten all comers, barely losing a round in the process. Since regaining his title from Matt Serra in 2008, he has turned back the challenges of Jon Fitch, BJ Penn, Thiago Alves, Dan Hardy, Josh Koscheck, and Jake Shields. But this fall, he will face off against the man many believe has the style to dethrone him, Shields’ longtime training partner Diaz.

A proud native of Stockton, California, Diaz, like GSP, has not lost since 2007. Along the way, the UFC vet has defeated Frank Shamrock, Scott Smith, Mach Sakurai, KJ Noons, and Paul Daley, and with his world-class striking skills and jiu-jitsu game improving with each fight, he is on track to shock the world on October 29th.

If George just plays it safe by wrestling him on the ground and tapping him in the face I'll stop watching that division...

Thank ****!

I hope this leads to more superfights. I'd love to see Overeem, Silva, Fedor etc in amongst the UFC heavyweights. It would make that division chunky...er.

If it happens, it should be a great fight.
If GSP comes there to win, and not just to fight.

Don't know about Diaz having what it takes to beat GSP, but I'd bet anything he'll be more willing to bring it than the last few dead fish he's fought. Should be a good one, if for no other reason than GSP will probably have to put in some real work this time.

Woot! Woot! Hell yeah. Damn, I've been waiting for this one. I hope they build a nice card around it. No matter how good the main event is, it pisses me off royally to pay $50 to see one fight I care about.

I don't believe it. Is this a title fight or not?

Should be. Not like anyone else has really earned a shot at GSP except Fitch, and who wants to see THAT again?

Hahaha, yeah everbody hates you, Fitch.
They hate you just for the way you tie your shoelaces in the morning, just for the way your mouth smirks when you're chewing your food, just for the... oh just **** you.

If only that was really Nick's head. He would win by sheer intimidation alone.

This fight has the ability to demonstrate much awesomeness or another chance for GSP to show he's good at wrestling and holding position for 5 rounds.

OK Diaz, you've got 5 months to work on your TDD.

...or another chance for GSP to show he's good at wrestling and holding position for 5 rounds.

**** sake, I hope not.
I'd love to see Diaz win this.

I think Diaz is the answer. Let's see GSP school a bomb-ass grappler, who throws punches in bunches.
