Strikeforce Champ Nick Diaz Could Be Georges St. Pierre's Next Opponent

Filed under: , ,

TORONTO -- Georges St. Pierre was barely a few minutes out of his last fight when the MMA world began speculating about what fight he would find himself in next. One thing is certain: the welterweight ranks keep thinning as GSP continues to mow through contenders. And since he's beaten several of the top-ranked UFC stars already, the UFC might well go to plan B.

Long discussed has been the possibility of a super fight with middleweight king Anderson Silva, but there are a few possible roadblocks. For one, St. Pierre hasn't committed to moving up a weight class. Also, he'd be forced to wait a few months, as Silva already has a scheduled title defense against Yushin Okami in late August.

The other alternative? How about a champion vs. champion bout with Strikeforce titleholder Nick Diaz?
