Diaz Speaks On Miller And GSP

<B>By MATT MOLGAARD<BR> MMANEWS.COM Staff Writer</B><BR><BR> The following quotes are excerpts from a Thursday Strikeforce conference call in which Nick Diaz spoke candidly, as usual.<BR><BR> Diaz takes a few moments to clear up the Jason Miller debacle, as well as speak on a potential clash with UFC welterweight champion, and pound-for-pound ranked Georges St. Pierre.<BR><BR> ?I?d be happy to move up. I don't like that people say that I didn't accept the fight with Miller, because I never said anything about that. I said, if I?m going to go off track and screw with my capabilities to fight at 170 pounds, I?d like to get paid in full,? stated Diaz in refute to the rumors he didn?t want to take a bout with Miller. ?I?d like to have a reason for doing that. I?d like to get paid something extra -- double, triple, something crazy. I?d [even move down in weight], honestly. Offer me a big money fight at 155 pounds and I'll make it happen.?<BR><BR> That doesn?t sound like a man afraid to take a fight, in my humble opinion.<BR><BR> When addressing GSP, Diaz offered the following, ?I want to fight Georges St. Pierre. I think my training partner [Jake Shields] is going to take him out. Straight up. People think this guy's better than me, and it's bulls--t.?<BR><BR> It?s unlikely a clash between Diaz and St. Pierre comes to fruition anytime in the future, but should Diaz find a way to prove he can topple high quality wrestlers in the future, seeing the elder Diaz brother back in the UFC may not be a long shot.<BR><BR>
