"Triathalon season is starting so he's getting ready, getting in shape for that and concentrating on being in shape, being healthy and helping me out and coaching me for this fight [against Jim Miller]. Right now, I don't think [we will see him back inside the Octagon]. He's big on, like I said, staying in shape and just being healthy right now. He's not worried about it. I think he's retired. He hasn't been into this whole fighting thing for some time ... since everything that goes on with the funny wins and losses. And not just for him, but for people on our team. So, I just think he's relaxed right now, you know? I think he's pretty set on his retirement, though. I kind of agree with him [about his decision]. It's hard to say -- he's my brother. I'm not going to tell him to go fight somebody. I think he's doing the right thing. He made enough money to just chill back, sit back and relax. People don't understand: Nick never had nothing. He came from not much, so when he complained a lot about not making a lot of money it's because there were so many people making more money than him and he works 10 times hard than them. So, they definitely paid him enough money to not have to anything. He doesn't need to fight."

GSP: Marijuana is not a performance enhancer
"I was not surprised that Nick Diaz tested positive, because I had heard some stories before that he took marijuana, but for me, I don’t think it’s a performance enhancer. I don’t see it as bad as if it was a steroid or something like that. Maybe it could help Nick Diaz, because I think he has problems in front of the camera. He’s very nervous in front of the camera, maybe the marijuana calms him down and makes him perform better."

GSP upset on potential Nick Diaz retirement
"I'm disappointed because of all of the build-up for the fight. Emotionally, I wanted to fight Nick Diaz. Carlos won the fight, he fought smart, and it is what it is. Carlos is an incredible martial artist. I want to fight the best man, so Carlos is the best man. It was a close fight, it could have went either way. I wouldn't have been surprised if it went either way. I do believe that maybe Carlos won the judges' decision because he used more weapons and he was more flamboyant than Diaz. But, on the other side, Diaz was - at the end he took the back. It was a tough fight. I just don't know what to say. I'm not surprised by the result, but I'm disappointed a little bit. Diaz's retirement announcement upset me. But, what can I do? I want to be the best. I don't want to be second or third. I want to be number-one, and to be number-one, I've got to fight the number-one guy."

Dana White Says Condit vs. Diaz 2 Set
Carlos Condit accepted the rematch after his controversial win over Diaz. There has been a lot of critics on that. Many thought Diaz won but the judges. The fight metric reports showed Diaz took the beating, but this is still unclear. Condit is getting blamed to fight passive and point
Condits manager : “That rematch can happen later on in the future. No one’s afraid of Nick, but we have to do what’s best for his career and in my opinion and the people around me and the advice that we’ve been taking, the best fight and the only fight is Georges St-Pierre,”
We'll be hearing soon I guess.

Nick Diaz ‘sick’ of GSP overshadowing opponent Carlos Condit
Diaz : "Yeah, I think it makes me sick. This is Carlos’ time to be here, and to be a part of this main event. This is … half of the show is built up around me fighting Georges St-Pierre. But that’s not
. I’m fighting Carlos Condit. So, I don’t like it. You’re more in danger of losing a decision to Georges St-Pierre. I think you're more in danger of losing your teeth if you're fighting Condit here."
Condit : "I expect a war. Honestly, Nick is probably the toughest dude I’ve ever fought. He’s well-rounded, he has a pretty dynamic skill set. He’s pretty similar to me. We both come to fight. No matter who wins, fans are going to win because it’s going to be a phenomenal fight.”
George St-Pierre explains his hatred against Nick Diaz
"I am very nervous that Carlos Condit will win on Saturday night, and that I won't be able to fight Nick Diaz this summer. I feel bad, it is weird that I want him to lose, but I have never wanted to fight anyone as much as I want to fight Diaz. I don't truly hate him as a person. I don't know that he is a bad guy, but I hate what he brings to the sport with the disrespect and the unprofessional things he says and does. It is sort of a professional hatred. He has been nothing but disrespectful and arrogant towards me. During UFC 137 (week) I felt like I had to walk around Las Vegas with my fists ready (to punch Diaz) because every time I came across him he wanted to fight there and then. Every time the elevator opened (in the hotel) I needed to be ready to fight in case he stepped in. I was on edge all week. This guy is crazy. I am used to hearing (smack) talk from opponents, Matt Serra did it, Dan Hardy did it, and Josh Koscheck did it, but with Diaz he has taken it to another level. He and his coach (Cesar Gracie) have called me a coward and tried to disrespect my accomplishments. All that has done though is make me determined to beat him up. He will bring out the best in me, I will be 100% focused, like a bomb-expert defusing a time bomb. When my back is against the wall and I have no choice but to win, when I cannot lose to this person under any cost, that is when I am most dangerous."

Diego Sanchez on Nick Diaz!
Man, everybody out there, straight up, I don’t like to hear this crap about Nick Diaz. I’m hearing this stuff on Sherdog, ‘Oh Diego Sanchez and Nick Diaz…gotta pick Nick Diaz, that was a long time ago and he’s gotten so much better.’ You know what man, we’ve all gotten better. Styles make fights! I’m still a guy that’s gonna take down Nick Diaz, I’m still a guy that’s gonna push the pace on Nick Diaz, I’m still the guy that’s tough enough to take Nick Diaz’s little pitter-patter punches. Styles make fights. Nick Diaz has this grappling that’s on point and so do I. We get back in there again, I’m going to kick his ass again.”
