Nick Diaz may have been sidelined for more than four years now, but he still remains to be a big name in the sport. And for Georges St-Pierre, the elder Diaz brother could’ve been a much bigger superstar.
In a recent interview with FanSided, the retired UFC superstar spoke about his former adversary, and how Nick could’ve fared against today’s top welterweights.
“I think just it’s sad to see a guy like him waste his best years,” St-Pierre said of Diaz. “Stylistically it would have been a nightmare for a guy like Tyron Woodley.”
Diaz was slated for a comeback at UFC 235 in March against Jorge Masvidal, but the fight never pushed through.
