This has been a fight that the fans have wanted since Diaz was in Strikeforce. Diaz clearly gets under the skin of the champion and GSP has had enough. Instead of taking on #1 contender Johnny Hendricks or fighting in the “superfight” with Anderson, GSP asked Dana White to make the fight with Diaz. Whether or not you think Diaz ‘deserves’ the fight, this is the fight fans want and I can’t wait.
