It doesn’t appear a fight between Nate Diaz and Georges St-Pierre is as close to done as UFC President Dana White seemed to indicate earlier this week when he confirmed a matchup between the two star fighters was in the works for UFC 227 in August. White revealed earlier this week that he was looking to book a lightweight fight between Diaz (19-11 MMA, 14-9 UFC) and former UFC welterweight and middleweight champ St-Pierre (26-2 MMA, 20-2 UFC) at UFC 227, which takes place Aug. 4 at Staples Center in Los Angeles and airs on pay-per-view. Related Georges St-Pierre opens as modest favorite over Nate Diaz for possible UFC fight Diaz had not made any public acknowledgment of the fight until today. He posted on his official Facebook account, declaring that at this point the fight is “wolf tickets.” He also took a personal shot at St-Pierre stemming back to his victory over his brother, Nick Diaz, at UFC 158 in March 2013 (via Facebook ): Gsp cheated when he fought my brother he was on steroids he was overweight and they let him because we were in Montreal and his boy gave nick a bad iv now they selling u wolf tickets on me gsp you can clear that sh*t up or fight yourself cheater What exactly Diaz means by “you can clear that sh*t up or fight yourself” remains to be seen, but if there’s anything to be taken away from his post, it’s that there’s still plenty of distance to the finish line of getting a St-Pierre fight done for UFC 227
