Conor may indeed fight Diaz...again.
Does Diaz "deserve" a marquee fight over let's say...the winner of Lee vs Ferg...of course not, but Conor is the "star", so he will get that fight if he wants it.
Ironically, I totally think that if Conor was set to fight the winner of Lee vs Ferg it would appeal to MORE real UFC fans rather than Conor vs Nate which would appeal more towards casual fans...
...if only the UFC didn't care so much about casual fans...but oh well.
The UFC is about ENTERTAINMENT first and foremost, so obviously normal pro sports rules do not apply.
Did Conor "deserve" to be in the same ring as Floyd...fuck no, but...enough people were fooled by the hype, and...that's the point.
Ratings are what really matters to the UFC brass, and to that end...actual deserving fighters are often left in the dust.
So...stop whining about fighter X not deserving to fight fighter Y: The UFC is more like the WWE than a pro sport.
I mean, in what other sport would they allow someone like Conor and Ronda before him to be the FACE of the organization...?!?
I wish the UFC was fair, but...it's not.
No fighter is forced to join, so...tough shit.
