Dana White says Nick Diaz tried to fight GSP in a hotel

Dana White says that Nick Diaz attempted to track Georges St. Pierre down in a hotel. Which is the reason why GSP disliked Nick Diaz so much.
The reason why Diaz got the title shot is known to a lot of people in the MMA community. He did not deserve the title shot, but he got under Georges' skin with the trash talk and he talked his way into a title shot. Diaz is coming of a decision loss against Carlos Condit and a medical suspension for a failed drug test.
Dana White told the story on Jim Rome's radio show and explains where GSP's hate is coming from:
"Nobody has talked about this, I haven't said anything about it, but at one of the fights, the one where he really starts calling Georges out, he was chasing Georges around the hotel and like yelling at him and stuff. Georges thought he was going to try to fight him in the hotel. He was just waiting for the elevator doors to open and see Nick Diaz,"
"Like at the last fight where he said all that stuff after his last fight when he said all that stuff about Georges, he was really messing with Georges bad at the fight, like trying to fight him at the hotel. That really pissed Georges off."
"Like at the last fight where he said all that stuff after his last fight when he said all that stuff about Georges, he was really messing with Georges bad at the fight, like trying to fight him at the hotel. That really pissed Georges off."
Nick Diaz has the chance to dethrone GSP this saturday, but will he be able to do so? GSP intends on beating Diaz so bad that he retires again.

Nick Diaz 'close' to losing title shot
ANAHEIM, Calif. – UFC President Dana White doesn't want to scrap the UFC 158 headliner of Georges St-Pierre (23-2 MMA, 17-2 UFC) vs. Nick Diaz (26-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC), but on Saturday night he said if the challenger doesn't change his ways, that may be exactly what happens.Well, first of all, I'm not surprised. Nick Diaz is smoking too much pot and does not realize he needs to show up for work! Nick Diaz is a great fighter but he needs to get his mind straight and show up for these kind of things. Otherwise Dana White is going to scrap his ass from the card and Johnny Hendricks will be more than happy to take his place!
"I hope we don't come to that," White said following Saturday night's UFC 157 post-event press conference. "I'm really close. I don't want to be. I don't want to do this. It sucks."
Diaz is currently scheduled to face welterweight champ St-Pierre at next month's UFC 158 event in Montreal. The reason for the potential change is eerily similar to the series of events that saw a planned October 2011 bout scrapped. That planned UFC 137 fight was tossed aside when Diaz failed to show for a pair of pre-event press conferences.
This time around, the former Strikeforce champ missed three separate interview sessions, leaving a video crew hoping to produce a "UFC Primetime" series without a subject to tape.
"He did not (show up) – neither did his brother Nate," White said. "And we spent over $50,000 in production costs and guys cruising around Stockton, Calif., and not interviewing people.
"It's not funny. We're very cool and very lenient in a lot of ways. Look at this company. Look how we are. We let a lot of things fly. But that's just absolute bulls---."
Diaz's attorney, Jonathan Tweedale, initially claimed his client did not, in fact, miss any scheduled appointments. However, White said he has since spoken with Tweedale and the two are now on the same page. He also said Diaz has since complied with video requests and that his brother, Nate, is also expected to do the same.
Should that all go according to the current plan, then the much-anticipated contest will not be in jeopardy. But for now, White seems a little tense, especially on the heels of the commendable media efforts of UFC 157 headliners Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche.
"We've treated Nate and Nick with respect," White said. "Anytime they come in and want to negotiate their contracts, we do the things, we're good to everybody. At least give us the respect to show up and not blow $50 grand on not showing up for interviews you're supposed to do.
Dana is the boss and you do what the boss asks you to do! If Nick Diaz misses one more thing that has to do with promotion the GSP vs. Diaz fight, Dana needs to cut his ass and show him who's boss. Because Nick Diaz does everything he pleases and he does not give a shit about the fans,otherwise he would show up every time he is needed to.
