Georges St. Pierre will be in Las Vegas this weekend and you can expect to see him in the cage at the conclusion of the nights main event.<Br><Br>
Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit will fight for the interim UFC Welterweight Title and St. Pierre will be anxiously watching to see who he will face later this year.<Br><Br>
GSP talked about the post fight confrontation this week:<Br><Br>
"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."<Br><Br>
"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."<Br><Br>
"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.<Br><Br>
"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." <Br><Br>
