Well, I think it has the potential to be interesting. Anderson does his best work in the clinch, he seeks it out. Specifically, Anderson loves the double collar tie. Anytime Anderson seeks out the double collar tie though, he'll have to deal with the excellent body shots/defense Diaz has in that range. Could be an interesting fight.
andy vs diaz legit?

But he never has! He always loses those fights
Don't know about the best boxing, definitely the best infighter though.

I know. I know. No sense at all.
Why pay Nick "they money he wants" for a fight that is going to be gigantic? That's just crazy talk. What sense does that make?
NO. They just want him to fight. Preferably in big match ups that would make tons of money.....much like this one.
Fantastic. Let's find out.
Anderson has done his best work at range for years now, and the only time he has used the double collar tie recently he got knocked down

Slow? No head movement are you kidding me! Anderson does not want a boxing match with nick Diaz. This is a fight that will attract even the most casual fans the buzz would be amazing !! $$$$$$ you could fill a large venue 10000+ and not to mention ppv buy rates ! It would deliver it's the only major super fight that makes sense

Sad that Anderson has fallen to this level in his fans eyes.
A freak show fight that would do nothing for his return to the MW contender race against a guy who is smallish in the WW division, fights walking forward in straight lines, and throws the most obvious and slow punch combinations against a guy who is arguably the best counter striker in MMA, who feeds off guys trying to walk him down, and who has far more power then Nick.
If Anderson is basically retired and only taking fun legacy fights, fine. But if you or his fans start proclaiming how great he is based on ZOMG the Matrix he put on Nick, then that is sad.
It is like you guys are seeking Forrest 2, but against a much smaller and even less dangerous opponent.
How so? After Anderson crushes NIck his stock would drop. It would be pretty hard to keep giving Nick unjustified title shots after he gets his ass kicked. Also you really can't see Nick retiring if he got crushed by Anderson? He already hates fighting.
Nick is really not that good a boxer. Take away his chin and all he has is some good, but slow combinations. Boxing is more then just hands

Just stop.
Even if that did happen (and it could), who cares? He's basically retired until he gets 1 more big fight. Then? He'll be retired again. So who CARES?
His stock is big right now, so pulling the trigger would be a very good idea.
Not to mention, you're basically making an argument for nobody to ever fight Anderson, because they may lose, and their stock will drop. Seems like you really thought about this for a while.
Again. Brain. Use it.
refer to the above.

Nick is a WW who the UFC clearly wants fighting for the title. Matching "contenders" against fighters from a higher weight class, who they can't beat is pointless. It would be like the UFC making GSP vs Melendez or JDS vs Gus

Nick would certainly quit again if he gets the pay day he would demand.
People on this forum do not understand Nick. Nick does not like fighting and only wants to make enough money in one fight to quit forever. that is his ultimate goal. The GSP fight, in his mind got him there already but I doubt he manages it well enough to retire from it and so he will look for that retirement payday in one more fight.

The slightest bit of common sense should tell you the DO NOT want nick fighting for the title. If they did Nick Diaz vs Johnny Hendricks would already be announced. Nick is WAAAAY too volatile for them to ever has as champ at this point. Again, common sense.
They want Nick in fights that will make the most money. Period.
Again. You have to use your brain at some point. Seriously.
I
Jesus God. If that is actually what you're comparing this match up to, I really wonder if there is anything in this sport you actually grasp.
Or possibly you suffer from a condition a number just like you suffer from? Being an Anderson Silva fan. This had robbed many of any rational thought when the subject being discussed has to do with Anderson Silva.
