He's not on roids but he has every single thing close to it like any other fighter has , they have performance chemicals from chemists so close to them , Gsp has the best trainers , best everything and that's why Nick has pestered him for years , diaz had a better record and more fights that's why he talked shit , diaz is a nice guy like him but UFC is nasty

sooo much respect for the way he handles all of the smack talk. the way GSP carries himself and speaks is the way a true martial artist, humbly, handles the responsibility that comes along with the lifestyle of discipline, heart, and integrity

he is just pure class. he has such a different look out on life and is sooo respectful no matter what and always pulls out positives of every situation. this guys class, respect, discipline and mental attitude is just on a whole different level like 5 levels above everybody elts in any sport.

Such a humble guy. What a champ.

what a champion and a great person. And he is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. I love Georges.

I like how Gracie was talking about George faking his injury when Nick wasnt even going to fight him anyways

If KZfaq would stop recommending old helwani videos to me, that would be great.

I had to favourite this video, since this guy is a very respectable athlete. I'm proud Canada can produce athletes like this. World needs more athletes like this guy and Steve Nash.

I like George, he is genuine, respectful and a true modern day martial artist.

Exactly, I agree that he did better than any other against Silva. Well... we gonna have to wait until July 7th to see how it goes.

Its great to see that they finally found a quiet room tot talk

I am truly excited for the gsp diaz fight. Both fighters demand a great deal of respect and have accomplished a lot within the sport of MMA. No matter the outcome it should be an interesting fight. GSP is a well spoken and modest champion and his desire to fight the best should go without saying. While Nick Diaz is often times outspoken, he is also a humble individual who only desires to fight the best and to be the best. Should be a great match up!

I don't think there is any question that GSP was hurt and made the wise choice. He has a long record of defending his title and is a first class guy. Having said that, he has nott been in the ring with a fighter quite like Nick Diaz. This is going to happen, and it is going to be one of the most watched events in sports history. Gracie & Diaz are doing exactly what they should, and GSP is playing it straight, as he always does. A great event, and it is shaping up very well for all of us.

GSP has so much class and respect for other fighters. I am really disappointed that he's not fighting Condit, and I want to see him just destroy Diaz just to shut him up.

I WAS WAITING FOR A GSP RESPONSE SINCE UFC 137 !!!!

@zaidbermamet I'm kind of expecting that too. Especially since GSP is known for smashing opponents who upset him (Serra/Penn rematches). But I've never seen anyone finish Nick, never seen him tired, and he's a finisher, in a 5 round fight is very interesting. I have no predictions

i'm not imprezzed with your performanzz,,famous GSP line LOL

A perfect of how NOT to get offended in an interview.

would've liked to see a post ufc 137 interview with gsp with him being all pissed off haha

0:20 weeks became months and then years

did anyone else break out laughing when ariel said many moons ago?

funny to know that his acl finally gave up on him like a month later requiring surgery

@dcormarvel12 True but I feel like he let his hands go more before Matt Sera. Now he plays it much safer in the standing too.

It's be a great fight, and it'll go for GSP. I can't help but like a guy who's incredibly professional and a gentleman outside the cage.

wow this is the first time ariel helwani's videos have appeared in my sub box.

@warLock21X well said.. and I don't think GSP plays it safe. What Clay Guida does sometimes wrestling and holding on to position like he did with Nate Diaz is playing it safe.. for the people who doubt that.. take a closer look at GSP fights and notice how he is always working to advance position and do damage at the same time.. he dose not play it safe he plays it smart.

Say what you want about GSP. He never ran away from a press conference and recorded an iPhone video about it like a little girl.

WHERE YOU AT GEORGE

GSP is a class act, and a great champion. Diaz is a an incredible fighter. Can't wait for this to go down.

I agree, but only if Nick could manage to keep the fight standing. GSP's main strategic plan would be to get Diaz to the ground as quick as possible at the beginning of each round, then hope that he could lay and pray for the remainder of the round. This Greg Jackson camp really pisses me off.......Conduit runs from Diaz and wins and GSP would more than likely ground hump him to death, in order to get the victory. Hendricks vs Diaz would be a better fight, IMO.

George isn't afraid of Diaz. He probably will be the biggest threat to GSP in a long time, and he has a VERY good chance of winning, but GSP is always prepared.

someone tell me whats the beef Cesar Gracie has all about??

To everyone who didnt know, GSP actually did have to have acl surgery. This video is old

@BlueEyedNative90 I agree. Admittedly, I don't think either fighter is trying to get out of fighting the other. I'm sure some part of Nick still wants the fight despite his emotional loss and Georges has even gone as far to say he'd be willing to vacate his belt if it was necessary to get the match-up. As for when Rush jumped up, I didn't count that one because I suspect it was just a minor tweak (knock on wood!!!!). I figure if it was serious, it'd be all over mma headlines.

I sprained my MCL before so I know what he means when he says he can walk normally, its your lateral movement that doesn't work properly and your knee can give out because of it

Why are they whispering?? Wasnt this backstage after the event?

@TheSinliner yea at the end of the day they are all outstanding athletes who have all trained hard enough to get there and fight, and i respect them all for that. i have had a few amatuer muay thai fights in my life and that was hard enough let alone ufc level.

@muchohumpty btw that quote doesn't really mean anything because 1.) Deep down we ALL know, including the GSP naysayers that GSP isn't scared to fight ANYONE let alone a lesser fighter like DIaz and 2.) Diaz himself admitted later in an interview that he was only saying those dumb things to get himself another shot at GSP after he beat Penn for his 'no call, no show' at the press conference and failing to promote the initial fight.

I think it was the pimple that stopped him from fighting! lol

@zaidbermamet I disagree. They have different styles and they're better in different areas. Nick's boxing is better and is more dangerous on the ground. George is better at wrestling and mixing the takedowns with the striking. Will be interesting on who can use their strengths effectively when they meet.

Nick Diaz, Cheal Sonnen, many other MMA fighters are injured during training or before the fight. But they dont call the fight off 3 weeks before like 'oh I have lightly sprained my knee' (thats exactly what GSP did, and all that was wrong was his knee was strained) They train through it and train lightly do what they can do and turn up to the fight the best they can because they are fighter not scared and its their job. GSP called the fight off 3 weeks before hardly hurt and was TRAINING

Why is ceasar gracie and nick diaz fans saying GSP is scared nick diaz?...as if he pulled out of a fight with nick diaz?..the fight was against carlos #1...the fight was with carlos...not to say GSP is afraid of carlos,but yall are speaking way out of your place.

I've been a boxing nerd all my life. i can say this much with confidence. its more dangerous for gsp to be on the ground with diaz than it is for him to strike with diaz for 5 full rounds. diaz does not know how to use angles when punching, nor does he cut the ring off effectively to get in position. the sheer speed of gsp's jab would bewilder diaz to no end, let alone gsp's movement. people think so much of diaz's "boxing," but they fail to understanding that he only knows how to punch not box.

@Calinks u can grab the vids from his official site at mmafighting way sooner than on youtube. the reason being, more visitors to the site generate more ads revenue, thats explains the delay on youtube. ariel is no dummy :)

I'm a Diaz fan, but GSP is a true gentleman and a natural fighter, should be evenly matched, will see next year in Feb when the fight happens, it outta be off the hook

he wasnt injured

wat's Nick Diaz record in ufc ???

@kangal8 "fuck his shit up" means he's going to use volume punching and his amazing stamina to overwhelm GSP.

why is gsp not in ufc anymore?

I don't understand how anyone can say that GSP is ducking the new fight...according to Cesar Gracie himself Diaz snuck out a window to avoid the press conference, and then had no sensible explanation for it. GSP was then waiting with the press for Diaz to show up at the conference. So, if gsp wasn't scared then, he isn't now. Just sayin'. Oh, and i'm a Diaz fan 100%

my bad I thought you were DDiez15 (the guy who said was a Diaz fan)

is it me or is his English getting better?

GSP does what he needs to win. I think everyone would like him to go all out more but its his style, being undefeated for years and its clearly working, props to him. Also when people complain about him not being able to finish fights, neither cant his opponents finish him, yet they get no bullshit. If u get hugged in the ground for 25 mins it means u got out skilled, and u got some serious improvements to make in order to beat him. Too bad his ACL got f-d up, Diaz would have really tested him.

was this before or after UFC?

should have gotten interveiwed an hour later

All these people on here saying GSP is "scared" or "is one to back out of fights easily" idiots. GSP is just smarter than most fighters. If he's going to fight, he's going to do it at 100% to give his fans the best possible show he can and leave no excuses.

Everyone keeps talking Diaz vs GSP, GSP still has get through another former champion in Condit, and we all know Condit actually finishes fights against people GSP couldn't finish.

that spot is really BIG

Why would GSP be scared? He fought Penn twice in his prime, Hughes and Serra in their primes, Fitch, Alves, Shields, Koscheck, etc. All the best at the times. People are idiots if they believe he is scared of any fights.

yo where is this cat from

GSP vs frankie edgar would be AWESOME

I wish it will be a brawl when they fight. GSP was fighting it safe on his last couple if fights

@JarodCoomer i agree too. If he changed his attitude. It might make him a better fighter.

GPS doesn't wanna stand toe to toe with Nick Diaz. Nick Diaz will Rule the welterweight division from that fight forward.

I don't mind us Diaz fans being underdogs. Actually.. I prefer it!! Nick Diaz is a very serious threat to "Rush" St. Pierre. GSP fans have their hearts & minds set on another easy decision win, but he's never been in there w/a MASTER of taking fighters out of their game. watch GSP's game-plan unravel at UFC 158 as a "4.5/1 Odds Favorite." gimme a break...

i wouldnt trash talk condit, he has had many great fights and great finishes. nick's style is to get his opponent mad and have them get tired. condit managed to keep composure, stick and move and avoid getting worn down. Muhammad ali did pretty much the same thing as condit. i way prefer diaz to condit btw, i just think condit deserves credit.

I did some number crunching which you might find interesting; although most likely boring. Diaz wins by submisson 30% of the time to GSP's 22% and finishes by ko or tko 50% of the time compared to GSP's 40%. Granted GSP has a had much tougher opponents (depending on your stance on the quality of fighters not in the UFC). I'm not sure GSP will respect the ground game of Diaz as much as he did Shields. I haven't seen the videos of the losses to Sherk and Riggs - what kind of fights were they?

I thought he hurt his knee?

his face says: IM FUCKING SCARED maannn!!!

have you EVER seen diaz fight?

I though this was after Nick called out Georges.....

Their argument is that is takes away pain.

@zaidbermamet I'm a fan of both as well and respect your opinion. I don't see GSP as a combination or volume striker though. So you're expecting him to take Nick down and gnp or win by decision right?

i want Diaz to win but GSP is so humble i dont mind if he remains the champ

GSP's jab = gonna own

@XelNagaStalker its not a pimple,like the one hes got on his nose,they are "bruises"(fr training)

How do ya figure?

Why is everyone saying GSP is scared of Diaz when he backed out of the Carlos Condit fight and not the Diaz fight. LOL. I don't believe Diaz or GSP is scared to fight each other but I must admit that it is a little weird that people is saying GSP is the scared one when it was Nick Diaz that dodge the press conference. I also don't believe GSP is scared of Condit but I will say GSP is one to back out of fights more easily than most fighters due to injury instead of riding out the storm.

Whether Nick Diaz will beat GSP doesn't matter, whether it would be an entertaining fight it doesn't matter. What matters is Dana effed up, he had the perfect opportunity to get a tonne of PPV dollars with the GSP vs Diaz fight. This is another fight which MMA fans will not get to see (other: Anderson Silva vs GSP). Nick Diaz was the one that instigated the fight with George and he got penalised for not turning up to some stupid press conference.

@Calinks Totally right buddy, I'm switching from Ariel to Karyn Bryant, she's been a champ at uploading right away!

really gsp come on.....cruz just fought a full five round title match with a broken hand

I have to admit, I laughed at the "DonStirFrye" handle, lol, but I agree that the Diaz huggers are maybe the most out of touch with reality posters on the internet.

Nick Diaz - Dont be scared homie

"what happened?" "I ughhh, ran out of vaselline..."

GSP loves this sitch with Diaz because it gives him another stall to Anderson Silva

It's much more interesting to listen to Nick Diaz interviews.

Can't wait until he comes back!

He will not beat the shit out of him. He will out wrestle him with skill and technique and mix it up with good strikes. He does not need to beat him up.

@1MoreRoundbrother well maybe if you value grappling over stand up. and that happened twice in 25 minutes and dan hardy never even looked like tapping even to that ridiculous arm bar

I'm not saying that one would "wreck" the other. But let's all be real. Diaz Vs. GSP would be competitive.

You know what man...? I am a HUGE Diaz fan too man, but I still think GSP would defeat him, by the way, who do you think with will win between Bones vs Hendo and Spider vs Sonnen?

@rmsangel242 Agreed. But Griffin is about 240 and Silva fought him.

Diaz beat up on a pudgy lightweight with no cardio and all of a sudden everyone thinks he's going to whoop GSP? Get real.

wait I thought GSP is fighting Diaz next?

Diaz the next Welter Weight Champ

@imhungry4444 Just because Diaz strikes with guys doesnt mean he beats them at their own game take Diego Sanchez for example Sanchez took Diaz down constantly and won if GSP fought Sanchez he would take Sanchez down (beating him at his own game) and stop Sanchez's takedowns. I mean Diaz is good but GSP and even Condit are big steps in competition. Am I right? Or am I right?

if GSP comes to fight, he will get hurt standing up or submitted by Nick but if he comes to HUG, he will get the win with no prob at all

Jones vs santos and gsp vs silva big money big fights i would fly the 5000 miles to watch both so ufc check it

GSP's biggest threats in the WW division: Carlos Condit, Jon Fitch, Jake Ellenberger, and Carlos Eduardo Rocha. Diaz is literally TOO easy for GSP.

Nah, GSP will stalk around the outside, counter punching and kicking, and shooting for takedowns. you notice that nick diaz only has his boxing but GSP has the wider skill set to use kicks, feints and that superman punch. I think diaz won't be able to put the pressure on because of the longer range of kicks, keeping him on the outside.
