Diaz was not fired.
I think it was very premature for Zuffa to pull him from the original fight. They should have fined him a percentage of his pay. There was no bigger draw aside from Anderson Silva fighting GSP. And when has Diaz never shown up for a fight? From what I can tell he's always had some type social anxiety and has done this in the past. Regardless if he shows up to a press conference or not will have no bearing on if I'll watch the fight. Penn VS Diaz is just as fascinating, but who really care about Condit VS GSP?
