Can Nate Diaz truly headline UFC 200

[RicksonsGrip]

The McGregor rematch was already not that much of an interesting fight, despite the numbers it could have generated from more mainstream viewers... can nate diaz really headline a UFC PPV? let alone UFC 200?

I for one am not interested at all at any other Nate Diaz fight, and much less as a headliner... unless the UFC can bring in GSP for 200, then it sounds like just any other PPV or even worse, hell it looked like any other PPV even before this whole thing...

Are the matchups being re arranged? GSP vs McGregor? Is Conor injured? Is this just a one sided publicity stunt from McGregor? Can Nate Diaz headline something other than a fight night without McGregor?

[what-wut]

yes he can, Nate vs Robbie would have been huge, I would rather him fight Robbie than Conor.

 

[KONE]

If it's against Lawler or GSP, yes

 

[Jon Stark]

Against GSP or Robbie he can.

 

[kroe]

If it's against GSP then its really GSP headlining

 

[UL]

Don't be silly

Unless it's against GSP

Who loses all my respect (which means a lot to him) for taking an easy tune up fight with someone not even in his division

Does have to be a WW? I say wait on the winner of Pettis/Barboza. Both will trade with Nate.

 

[Sonny Qc]

If it's against Lawler or GSP, yes

If Nate doesn't fight in the main event, I won't be ordering. If he does - regardless of opponent - I will be ordering.

 

[machidafan99]

yeah but the card is phenomenal right now. So many good fights.

 

[Arrrrgh]

No Nate will not headline without Conor.
However,

I for one am not interested at all at any other Nate Diaz fight, and much less as a headliner... unless the UFC can bring in GSP for 200, then it sounds like just any other PPV or even worse, hell it looked like any other PPV even before this whole thing...

No, no it did not.
The card is stacked already without a main or co-main event yet announced. Saying otherwise is just being ridiculous.

..but seriously, who doesn't enjoy a Nate Diaz fight??

 

[Akabignasty]

Nope....doesn't matter who he fights.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

No chance, nope. they will probably go with Jones vs Cormier 2

 

[AndrewSUFC]

Against someone who isn't Conor McGregor? Naw.

 

[Siesta]

Imo, nope.

 

[Drake]

Nailed it.

yes he can, Nate vs Robbie would have been huge, I would rather him fight Robbie than Conor.

A LW beat a FW and gets to fight for the WW tilte, seems fair.

McGregor had an aura, and he still kind of does and people want to see if he can get it back or eat his words again because it was so delicious the first time.

Nate has lost too many times and been around way too long to have an aura. This shit has bumped him significantly, but he'll never have Ronda, Conor, Lesnar, or GSP levels of aura around him when they were on top.
