There’s been discussion this week about the potential rematch between Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz at UFC 300; co-hosts Dave Simon and AJ D’Alesio express varied opinions:

Will GSP Fight Nick Diaz at UFC 300?

Dave Simon:
Skepticism: Dave initially expresses skepticism about the likelihood of the fight happening, labelling it as “unlikely.”
Speculation on UFC’s Plans: He ponders whether UFC would headline a card with two fighters who are not expected to fight again in the UFC, suggesting that it might not make sense for the organization.
Comparison with Past Events: Dave parallels Brock Lesnar’s one-off appearance at UFC 200, suggesting a similar role for St-Pierre and Diaz as a possible co-main event.
Concerns About Fighters’ Current Stage: He questions whether it’s appropriate for them to fight for five rounds at this stage in their careers, hinting at their age and time away from the sport.
Possibility of a Co-Main Event: Despite his initial skepticism, Dave acknowledges the potential for this fight to be a significant addition to the UFC 300 card, possibly as a co-main event.
AJ D’Alesio:
Optimism and Possibility: AJ seems more optimistic, initially responding with “Possible” and later elaborating on why he thinks the fight could happen.
Focus on Fighters’ Current Condition: He emphasizes Georges St-Pierre’s excellent physical condition and readiness despite his age.
Speculation on Behind-the-Scenes Motivations: AJ suggests that a previously planned jiu-jitsu match between St-Pierre and Diaz might have been a setup for announcing their fight at UFC 300.
Legacy and Comparison with Other Fighters: He discusses St-Pierre’s legacy, comparing him to Conor McGregor in terms of fame and suggesting that St-Pierre still can fight effectively.
Excitement for the Potential Card: AJ expresses excitement about the potential lineup for UFC 300, including the possibility of Conor McGregor’s participation.
In summary, Dave Simon shows a more cautious and analytical approach, weighing the practicality and implications of such a fight. At the same time, AJ D’Alesio displays more enthusiasm and optimism about the possibility, focusing on the fighters’ capabilities and the excitement it could bring to UFC 300.
