Nick Diaz ’s decision to move up to the UFC middleweight division to take on one of the greatest fighters or all time in Anderson Silva may not have been a very wise decision, according to former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre . St-Pierre knows a thing or two about Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) and Silva (33-6 MMA, 16-2 UFC). “Rush” was involved in a longstanding rivalry with Diaz prior to defeating him at UFC 158 in March 2013, and a bout with Silva was discussed for years but never came to fruition. Diaz and Silva are now scheduled to face each other in a 185-pound affair in UFC 183’s pay-per-view headliner on Jan. 31 in Las Vegas. The bout between the former UFC middleweight champion and ex-Strikeforce welterweight titleholder was merely fantasy years ago, but now it’s a reality, and St-Pierre thinks Diaz may be in over his head
