#3 Georges St-Pierre vs. Nick Diaz
When 2013 came around, Georges St-Pierre had ruled over the UFC’s Welterweight division for somewhere in the range of 5 years, making 7 effective title protections – a divisional record – simultaneously. It looked like flooding contender Johny Hendricks would be next in line, yet rather the UFC swung to a man who should battle GSP somewhat prior – terrible kid Nick Diaz.
The GSP/Diaz battle had gone to pieces in 2011 because of genuine knee damage to St-Pierre, and Diaz had thusly lost to Carlos Condit and had not battled since. In any case, the fans needed to see the battle, to a great extent in light of the fact that the inclination was that Diaz would convey the battle to St-Pierre like couple of others had previously.

Diaz had just talked a decent match to construct the underlying battle – asserting GSP was terrified of him – yet when the publicity for the conflict started, even he appeared to see through it to some degree.
St-Pierre was really the one talking like never before – guaranteeing that Diaz’s waste talk had taken him to a “dark place” and that he had to be more forceful than before – however Diaz just said that the UFC – and St-Pierre so far as that is concerned – were “selling wolf tickets”; at the end of the day, overhyping the battle and the competition.

At last, the battle was not terrible per say, however it surely was not anything strange for GSP. ‘Rush’ basically utilized his typical apparatuses – his huge takedowns, top control and hit – to outpoint Diaz more than five rounds with little trouble. In any case, it was not an angrier, “dark” GSP by any stretch of the imagination, and for the majority of his own discussion, Diaz was not greatly forceful as well.
Had there been little promotion coming in, the battle would have been conventional. Be that as it may, because of the majority of the waste talk and the overwhelming advancement going in, it was hard not to be disillusioned.
