Nick Diaz wasn't too keen on talking to the media prior to UFC 137 and that cost him a shot at the UFC Welterweight title but things have changed and Diaz made an appearance on Inside MMA this week to discuss his February match-up with Georges St. Pierre:
"It's all about how you come out and fight. It can always go different, you know? I could go on the bottom a lot, but are you gonna be able to advance position? Are you gonna be able to do damage from there? Are you gonna stall? Are you gonna fight? There's a lot of different stuff that can happen. It's up to me to kinda make some stuff happen. Five rounds is a lot of time for me to work with in this one. I enjoy fighting five rounds. I work hard to be in good condition to fight for five rounds. It's important to plan for everything. That's what I'm good at. He's fighting somebody who's gonna do everything."
