Diaz lost the fight via a unanimous decision but he never thought the fight was fair. He believed that someone poisoned him before the fight that put him to strong sleep.
“I think whoever tries to make that fight, I’m gonna have to give him a backhand slap,” Nick said. “At the end of the day, I fought [St-Pierre], they poisoned my IV with some kind of weird-ass drug. It put me to sleep!”

“I have 37 fights, been fighting for 17 years, I never slept more than five or six hours a night. I slept 14 hours, I’m like ‘What did you put in my IV, dude?’ I never had anything but clear IV. And there was something wrong with his wraps. I know they didn’t test us either because they were filling up all our piss inside little film containers.”
