UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre on Saturday’s Nick Diaz vs. Carlos Condit bout, which will crown an interim champion while St. Pierre recovers from knee surgery:

“The way I see it, I am not the champion anymore on Saturday night. I have not fought since April, against my will, but I understand the champion must fight. Youhave to put the belt on the line in order to call yourself champion, the best in the world. Right now I am not the best in the world, I am injured. The winner of this fight on Saturday will be more than just the new No.1 contender, but he won’t be the new champion either. The winner of this fight will have to beat me to become the true world champion and I will have to beat the winner of this fight in order to call myself the best in the world again.

“I like the format where the winner of this fight will have to fight me and I have to fight the winner to truly become the UFC champion. That is what the UFC is about,that is competition. This is fair to all of us, we have to beat each other to be the undisputed champion.”

Trainer Firas Zahabi, on “Beatdown,” discussing how Georges St. Pierre tore his ACL:

“When Georges got injured, he only got injured because there was a fight coming up and we didn’t want him to miss the fight. We tried to train around [an existing knee injury]. Things got worse. … We were a little bit stubborn. Maybe it would have been in hindsight wiser to cancel the fight. Maybe do the fight a little bit later? But when you’re in the heat of training, there’s nothing that’s going to stop you. You’re in the mindset in that, if your arm falls off and you could pass the medical, you’re still going to fight.
