Media 11 years ago, George St-pierre defeated Nick Diaz in a highly anticipated fight.

My main takeaway from this fight was Diaz discovering that you can just tripod up versus GSP he's not really going to take your back or anything.
 
Were casuals supposed to expect GSP to go and Blitzkreig Diaz or something? Morons.
 
This was where GSP told us about the dark place in his head. Nick really got under his skin. “Ee is de most dizrespekful yooman being I ever met.”
 
I was there live for that. Absolutely shit faced.

Picked up some king cans from a nearby convenience store, stuffed them in our jackets, and just walked into the arena to avoid paying for $20 arena beers.

The group in front of our seats were hacking darts in the arena.

Classic Quebec experience.
 
The press conferences for this fight were more entertaining than the fight itself. Nick talking about a woman yelling at him at a traffic light is gold !

Great post !​
 
I was 12 and I remember being so hyped and then so disappointed o_O

That’s one of my favorite press conferences ever. Was this the fight where Nick missed the first press conference in Canada and blamed it on “toxic airplane water” or some shit? <45>
 
GSP was good at putting fans to sleep. Fight was trash

Super undeserved title shot. This was not highly anticipated by me and was clearly written on the wall. This was after Carlos Condit beat Nick and Nick complained about the fight. This was Nick Diaz third fight upon his return. Looked great against BJ, looked horrible against Carlos and was gifted title shot he didn't deserve, complained during the lead up, complained after losing.

build up to the fight was pretty funny if I recall.

Conference call where GSP did some rare trash talk “listen you ignorant fool..”

And Nick talking about ufc and Georges selling wolf tickets at the presser. Became a popular sherdog meme of sorts.

Better fight on the card was Condit vs. Hendro. Johny pulled off the decision but Carlos really made it a tough fight for him.

Yup. We got so much from this fight. Nick straight up ditched a press conference, wolf tickets, getting yelled at by soccer moms. So much more good stuff I don't remember at the moment.

Was that the “sorry I couldn’t make your beauty pageant” line. Classic. Nick was a character.

“I was trying to buy a house…I didn’t go to school for that!” <45>
So much classic stuff.
