UFC: Diaz vs GSP in December?

It's funny how business works. Dana White has been quoted on many things. For example, he has said that Nick Diaz will never be back in the UFC.
It's funny because, as years went by, Diaz improved and he was calling out top talent. Diaz defended his Strikeforce Welterweight title against a man who fought for a No. 1 contender championship in the UFC, Paul Daley.
Paul is a striker and one of the most powerful in the world at welterweight. In the fight, Paul catches Nick with two solid shots and drops Nick twice. As the round closes Nick catches him, Paul drops, Nick capitalizes and scores the TKO victory.
What does this all mean? Well, for one, Daley is a good striker and has never been out-struck in his career. He had never been KO/TKO'd due to strikes, and was a top-10 ranked fighter. After that fight, the Cesar Gracie camp had both defended their belts in dominating fashion and it showed that both Diaz and Gilbert Melendez needed a step up in competition.
At UFC 129, GSP fought Diaz's teammate, Jake Shields. Shields had an impressive winning streak coming into the fight and hadn't lost since 2006. He decided to stand, allowing GSP a unanimous decision victory. After this bout, a few big question marks arose: Who's left for GSP? Should he move up to middleweight?
That's when the talk of Diaz returning to the UFC started. Many thought it was just a rumor, then it was reported that Nick would box Jeff Lacy, an interesting move for Diaz, to say the least.

Nick later stated that he would not take the boxing match if he were granted a shot against GSP. Well, here we are today, May 19, and here is the latest report.
MMA writer Dave Simon is reporting that GSP is scheduled to return on Dec. 10 in Montreal at the Bell Centre. Most likely against Diaz. If this fight is signed, Diaz will not be fighting Jeff Lacy in a Pro Boxing match.
Last night on Facebook, Gracie stated that Diaz would be meeting with Dana White today.
There are many things that could come of this, but the matchup with GSP seems to be the most logical. When more information arrives, we will be sure to keep you updated

I want this figt to happen and I want Diaz to win, if it doesnt happen GSP needs to fight Silva already

gsp all the way. sorry to say it but this dude is a beast!

wermp. He wants to be top all time fighter, which if he does he needs to beat Anderson Silva, in which case he should show alot of eagerness to get the fight against Silva, but he shows none. He will wait until Silva is too old or out of that weight class before he jumps up

I'd also love to see what Chael Sonnen would do to GSP

I don't think GSP will be the champ at years end. I know he's a good fighter, but he can't keep winning these boring fights. Somebody will catch him in one of these fights

I thought Dana had already said that GSP would fight Silva if he beat Shields. Who wants to see another tomato can get a shot at either GSP or Silva? The only fight left for either of them is against each other.

GSP doesnt truely want Silva

I wouldn't either, but imagine the PPV buys on a fight like that. Surely Dana can make him an offer he can't refuse.
