The Diaz brothers want nothing to do with Georges St-Pierre.

After Nate Diaz shot down rumors he'd fight St-Pierre and accused him of using steroids when the Montreal native fought his brother in 2013, the elder Diaz, Nick, also questioned the circumstances surrounding UFC 158.

"They poisoned my IV with some kinda weird-ass drug that put me to sleep," Diaz told TMZ Sports. "I've had 37 fights, fighter for 17 years. I never slept more than five or six hours a night. I've got a fight tomorrow. I slept for 14 hours. I'm like, 'what did you put in my IV, dude?'"

Diaz also claimed St-Pierre had "something wrong with his (hand) wraps" and is confident the fighters weren't properly drug tested because he "would have tested for weed." He doesn't believe St-Pierre had a say in his alleged poisoning but feels outside forces worked to ensure he didn't win.

"Everything was strange," he said.

The 34-year-old has not fought since January 2015 when he was tested for marijuana metabolites and earned a USADA suspension. Diaz was ruled eligible to return in April, but has yet to confirm if he will return to the UFC.
