Report – Georges St-Pierre reveals plan to face Nick Diaz at UFC Fight Pass Invitational, grappling match postponed

Former two-division champion, Georges St-Pierre has revealed today that he had agreed terms to face-off with former title challenger and prior Octagon foe, Nick Diaz in a UFC Fight Pass Invitational grappling match in December of this year, until the pairing was postponed as both encountered injuries.

St-Pierre, a former undisputed middleweight and welterweight champion under the banner of the organization, revealed earlier this summer that he was in line to compete in submission grappling under the banner of the UFC in December of this year.

And in the weeks following the announcement of his feature at the UFC Fight Pass Invitational in December, reports revealed how former middleweight and welterweight title challenger, Demian Maia had welcomed the bout, which had so-far failed to come to fruition.
