Tyron Woodley Says He Offered GSP and Nick Diaz $5 Million Middle East Fights as GSP Declines
The proposals were part of Woodley’s new TRIP venture with claimed regional funding that has not been independently verified.
Overview
- Woodley told Action Network he proposed a $5 million bout to Georges St-Pierre, who replied that he is retired and not fighting anymore.
- Woodley said he then messaged Nick Diaz with the same $5 million offer for a Middle East event, and Diaz liked the message but did not respond.
- He presented the outreach as a push under The Realest International Promotion, his effort to stage marquee fights outside the UFC.
- Woodley framed the GSP matchup as a legacy fight, arguing a win would eclipse his late-UFC losses to Gilbert Burns, Vicente Luque, Colby Covington, and Kamaru Usman.
- Coverage notes St-Pierre remains retired and that Diaz withdrew from a planned 2024 UFC return after rehab, while Woodley’s broader claims about TRIP’s funding and eight-figure purses are his assertions.
