Ariel Helwani of MMA Fighting spoke to UFC Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and got his reaction to Nick Diaz’ decision to skip today’s open workouts for the media in advance of their UFC 158 bout on Saturday in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Here’s a quote via MMA Mania:
“Actually, I listened to it after all. I couldn’t understand at the moment what he was saying, referring some bad word. I thought he said like I was having sex with my own biological mother. That’s what he says to me. I got frustrated because I don’t like to be disrespected. I’m a nice guy man. You don’t disrespect me. So, I’m going to be disrespectful too, you know? I’m not like a lamb, I’m not going to let myself get disrespected.
But, after that I listened to the conversation and my friend who is an English speaker said, ‘you guys are both out of line.’ I realize I was out of line, too. We were both talking about stuff that didn’t make any sense. I’m sure some scientist will listen to the tape 1,000 years from now and they will try to analyze the depth of our conversation and still not understand it. It was actually pretty funny.”
