No one will be a more interested spectator than Georges St-Pierre at UFC 143 Saturday night, as Nick Diaz battles Carlos Condit for the interim 170-pound title at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
St-Pierre, who is recovering from a December knee surgery, is looking forward to discovering who he will face later this year to unify the mixed martial arts championship. Getting in the cage to confront Saturday's winner, however, is a different story.
"I don't like to be there. I don't like confrontation," St-Pierre told The Canadian Press. "But I know it's necessary for the promotion of the sports. The UFC, they force us to do it sometime. They love it."
"I think it's disrespectful (to get into the cage). When a guy wins, I think it's his moment of glory and I don't want to overshadow that. He wins, he deserves that moment."
"I don't think (Diaz is) a bad human being. I just think to my eyes, he's disrespectful (to me) because I'm fighting him.
"I do not believe in bad persons. I think everybody has issues, like I do have issues. I'm not a perfect human being. I have qualities and issues, Diaz has qualities and issues. Even though I believe he's a good person, he just has maybe bad social skills. Maybe the camera makes him nervous. Who knows? But I don't think he's a bad person."
