My thing is, what did he gain by fighting Nate?
Tons of money. Diaz was supposed to be an easy fight for him when the RDA fight fell out. He lost but the fight did the biggest PPV buys of all time. The rematch he just had to get his win back and prove he could hang at 170. I think it earned him a lot of respect.
