A UFC Hall of Famer recently expressed interest in working with former rival Nick Diaz and possibly collaborating on something that would be enjoyable for fans. He noted that their rivalry is in the past and offered to assist him in creating opportunities outside of fighting.
Georges St-Pierre was involved in a memorable rivalry with the Stockton native that saw heated exchanges ahead of their eventual welterweight title fight. It appears as though there is no longer animosity as they were seen shaking hands in the locker room prior to Diaz's most recent bout against Robbie Lawler at UFC 266.
The former UFC welterweight champion is among the contributors that will be appearing in Diaz's upcoming 'Dark Side of the Cage' episode, which airs on VICE TV this Wednesday.
During his appearance on 'Deeper Into the Cage', St-Pierre expressed his interest in helping Diaz by putting something together for their fans:

"I would like to pick [Diaz's] brain and talk to him. If one day I have a chance. You know, we share a moment in our life together that it creates a bond. And from what I've heard, because we have a lot of friends in common, he's a very good guy. And it's just the nature of our sport made it in a way that we were adversary, but now that it's done...we can talk as human being and I would be interested to do so."
