11:58 AM ET 11.29 | Tristar head trainer Firas Zahabi believes Nick Diaz deserves to be the No. 1 contender to Georges St-Pierre's UFC welterweight title over Johny Hendricks. "I think Diaz is the guy who deserves it most," Zahabi said. "[Diaz is] the guy who is the Strikeforce champion. He climbed up the ladder all the way. Johny deserves it very much, but Diaz has been there longer and done more fights and has bigger wins," Zahabi said. "If you want to be really fair about it, he is the guy who beat the most amount of names in the biggest fights."
