Ive been thinking about this and can't come to a conclusion as surely they want to generate a lot of steam off him as he was already a big draw and with his brother Nate's victory on Connor they'll surely boosted his "sell factor". We all Nick only wants big fights but with the W's not going his way surely they can't just keep sticking him to the front of the pack everytime.
My original theory was that they would look to book Lawler/Diaz 2 as this has legs. Nick won the first fight both pretty stand and bang and this would also get the fans excited. Plus i also think it is a much easier fight to win than say a Rory or a Wonderboy fight. However this has now been quashed as Lawler/Woodley has now been booked.
Then i thought they'd set up the Bisping fight up as that would have created some great back and forth plus a good sell. However with Bisping now the MW champion i can't Diaz been thrown infront of Souza, Wiedman, Rockhold and a very strong MW division. Saying that its the UFC so anything could happen but i think this would be highly unlikely .
Carlos Condit rematch - This would be a great fight as the first fights causes much debate and both are fan favorites. However i just seen that Corlos and Maia will now throw down at 202
The only other possible people i can think of is....
Matt Brown - would be a good fight for the fans but i think Matt has lost alot of steam of late and wouldn't be a big draw.
Johnny Hendricks - He has a fight booked at 200 so we'd have to see the out come of that, plus i think Hendricks would just wrestlefuck Diaz. However there is a little history between them with the whole "your fat johnny " at the weigh ins.
Dan Henderson - This is an outsider but i think would have some serious legs as both big household names. Diaz tried his luck at MW against well the best ever imo and didn't do too badly at all. Both have rock solid chins and Diaz pretty much made his name retiring legends .
i'd love to hear your thoughts because i really am at a loose end with it all...
