The highly-anticipated rematch between Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz has encountered an insurmountable hurdle, making it an unattainable dream. Georges St-Pierre is a retired former UFC welterweight champion. He had previously announced his participation in the UFC Fight Pass Invitational event in Las Vegas this December. However, he chose to keep his opponent’s identity under wraps at that time.


Georges St-Pierre recently disclosed that Nick Diaz was the designated opponent for this match. MMA fans are well aware of the history of Nick Diaz and Georges St-Pierre. Sadly, both fighters have fallen victim to injuries, dashing any hopes of a reunion in the grappling arena. This is what GSP had to say: 

Unfortunately, he’s hurt. I think he has a neck injury, and I just got hurt myself. I’ve got a shoulder injury. I have to wait a few weeks to see if I’ll require surgery. Unfortunately, it will be cancelled, perhaps postponed [for] the future.
Georges St-Pierre told UFC broadcast partner TSN.

This development has left fans disheartened as they eagerly anticipated this legendary rematch. The cancelation of the match may also result in it being postponed for the foreseeable future. St-Pierre’s injuries, particularly the shoulder, may necessitate surgical intervention. Speculatively, this might further delay any potential return to the mat. This is a significant setback for the fighters and fans who had highly anticipated a thrilling showdown between the two legendary fighters.


While there were discussions about other potential opponents, the main focus was on the showdown between St-Pierre and Nick Diaz. St-Pierre underscored that he is not directly involved in the negotiation process, which his agent conducted. Given the injuries and uncertainties surrounding the situation, the timing and likelihood of this iconic rematch remain uncertain.

Rockhold expressed his strong interest in the opportunity, confidently stating that he would be up for a match with George. This is what Luke Rockhold had to say: 

I’ll go straight for your neck. Straight at you. I don’t hold back or any way of fighting. I’m going to come for you.
Luke Rockhold told the MMA Junkie about grappling Georges St-Pierre.

St-Pierre is much older than him, and Rockhold acknowledged that age difference. However, the deciding factor he believed could be the difference in weight. Both men have held UFC titles in the middleweight division. Rockhold firmly insists that the weight for their grappling contest should be around 190 pounds.
