#3 Nick Diaz vs. Georges St-Pierre

Diaz is a fool

Nick Diaz is one of the most overrated and overhyped fighters in the history of mixed martial arts. There, we said it. The guy comes across as a thug and it's shocking that the UFC continues to consider him a commodity when in reality there are so many other guys who are more talented than him.

Alas, that didn't matter to the company a few years back when they booked him in to challenge Georges St-Pierre for the Welterweight Championship.

It went about as well as you can imagine for Diaz, with his verbal taunts and accusations falling on deaf ears as GSP continued to build his legacy as Champion. The result was never really in doubt and all it served to do was once again prove to the world that Nate was by far the more talented brother.

If you need even more proof, go watch his two fights against McGregor. Back to a man who's already featured once in this list.
