Condit was scheduled to face UFC legend B.J. Penn in the co-headliner of UFC 137. That fight has been scrapped for obvious reasons, and White said he&#8217;ll talk to Penn about a possible next fight.<\/p>\n<p>White went on to express his disgust and disappointment with Diaz and finally got what I have been trying to say for YEARS ABOUT THE GUY, Diaz no-showed Tuesday&#8217;s press conference in Toronto and today&#8217;s presser in Vegas. Diaz left Strikeforce and vacated his welterweight bout to re-sign with the UFC, where he hasn&#8217;t fought in five years, just for the opportunity to fight St-Pierre. &#8220;I&#8217;ve had my reservations about this kid,&#8221; White said. &#8220;Nick Diaz has lost his opportunity at the welterweight championship, and Carlos Condit has gotten it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What is Diaz&#8217;s future in the UFC? Well at this rate it won&#8217;t be anything involving a shiny new championship and &#8220;Big Payday&#8221; he has been whining for&#8230;He burned his own bridge.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Family-Secret-Forris-Day-Jr\/dp\/B004GLZ4YG\/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1309134704&amp;sr=1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/family-secret-ad-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/BookDetail.aspx?Book=232300\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11989\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"boxing interviews ad bio\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/boxing-interviews-ad-bio1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\" http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/RingsideReport1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\" http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/twitter-ad-link.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11990\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"advertise header2\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/advertise-header2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Sean Farrell The biggest fight remaining for UFC Welterweight champion George St. Pierre has to be Nick Diaz right?
