Greg Jackson knows talent and he chose GSP over this punk. Nothing else needs to be said.

Diego just sounds like a guy who couldn’t stick around if he wasn’t top dog. I’d think the chance to train and work out w/ a guy like GSP would be something to value. To me, Diego threw away a great opportunity.

Diego needs to close his mouth and concentrate on the matters at hand. He’s getting ahead of himself and it’s going to end up coming back to bite him.

There was a time when i though diego vs. gsp would have been THE fight at 170. But looking at their losses, i look at gsp and think WTF was the matter with him tonight ?? I look at diego and think, he got beat. Period. Koschek did everything better, so did Fitch. And Koschek was walking into a BIG fight – for him, and he shook it all off and just went to work. After that , gsp gave Koschek a lesson or 3 in mma fighting, and out wrestled him too!! Just beat his ass.
Diego talks about that something special in his heart, but if you ask me i think he’s only got heart when things are going his way.
After his losses Gsp picked up, went back to the gym, and exorcised his demons and is now better than ever. Diego is whining about sour grapes.
Not only does he NOT deserve a shot with gsp– he’d get demolished . If he had half a brain he would have tried to learn everything he could from and about gsp in camp so if he ever found enough heart to WIN HIS WAY to a shot at gsp ‘s belt he’d at least have given himself a chance.
Right now he sounds like a guy that burned through his trust fund and just found out now, he’s gotta WORK for a living.
Ain’t gettin no tissues from me dude…..

Im getting tired of fighters saying they were sick of injured during a fight and that is the reason they lost. Diego, Kos is better then you and you will never be at George’s level…..EVER!

Where is this “controversy” that Diego is talking about in the Fitch fight? Fitch put it on Diego and won convincingly.

diego is good, but i really don’t see him, karo, swick, hughes, davis, alves, or even kos touching georges. the only guy i see being a real threat is fitch. all these guys are excellent guys, but the rate of improvement compared with st. pierre, plus the fact he’s already so far ahead of people in his division makes me second guess all of them matching up against georges. and you throw serra in that mix against any of these guys and it changes things as well. i think serra will lose to georges, then after that i’m in the small percentile who thinks he’s good enough to give hughes a run for his money. regardless of a loss to both georges and hughes, i think serra is a big problem for all of the top WW’s.

Bear in mind that Jackson only brought in GSP full time after Diego and GSP lost their fights at UFC 69.

Jackson always maintained that he would not train GSP if it came that Diego and him were to on a collision course to meet in the Octagon. However, that meeting was derailed with them both losing on that card.

One would think that they would benefit from working with each other: GSP could help Diego with his wrestling and striking and Diego could help GSP with his submissions. It is not unusual for camps to have fighters who might compete against each other in the future.

I understand Diego’s hurt feelings, but in life sometimes you have to put your ego aside for what is best for your career. The move away from Jackson’s camp, in hindsight, was a mistake. He might have won the Fitch fight if he had a training camp with elite wrestlers like GSP.

Jealousy may be a problem with Sanchez. I never really liked him because of his own god complex of himself. He needs to rack up 4 or 5 quality wins and against top WW’s before he can start running his mouth.

Let me see???? I am Greg Jackson. Should I push away St Pierre just because Diego may be bothered?? Grow up, Diego. Start winning every fight then maybe you can talk about St Pierre.

It is good to be confident, but Diego takes it to a different level, where he hasnt backed it up.

I can’t believe a camp would try to have multiple fighters in the same weight class working together… I mean other than AKA which has Fitch, Koschek and now Swick all fighting at 170.

It’s too bad Diego can’t see the benefits of training with talented teammates in the same weight class. He should know firsthand how beneficial it is having just dropped consecutive fights to 2 of those types of teammates.

he should have used gsp as guidance to improve, but instead he chose to go the different route and use his presence as a distraction and leave… gsp is the younger, quicker, and more talented fighter. he would crush diego at anything and everything…

Diego. Try this. You have lost 2 fights in a row. Quit talking GSP and get a win first. You are no longer a contender, and are fighting on the undercard now. Get your mind out of the gutter, off of Ali, and on fighting. Got it? Good… Let me worry about Ali…

i do like diego as a fighter, and do agree he beat himself in last 2 fights, but hes def feeling salty about gsp taking his place in the jackson camp. and honestly any camp wants a champion so i wouldnt of turned down a chance to train gsp and get that credit for his improved performance, but still a dick move on jacksons part imo. if i was diego i would of left too and felt betrayed. sort of a catch 22. i just hope diego can find someone to bring him to that next level in training, cuz he has not improved since he left jackson. he has a lot of potential, just needs the right camp. where hes at now just isnt working for him imo.
