So now that Conor is seemingly retired and off the 200 card, and with news that GSP is close to coming back, some rumors that it may even be at 200. Also factoring in that Nate only wants big fights and his fame is at an all time high after Conor.

What are the chances that Nate gets matched up against GSP now and headlines UFC 200? Pretty good possibility I think. Dana said they are looking for a new opponent for Nate, but as we've heard Nate wont take just anyone. What say you Sherdog?

Nate said that GSP was his brothers fight and on top of that he was training for a pure striker. I doubt he'd take a fight against GSP. Bring out Nick vs GSP 2 and give Cerrone another crack at Nate imo!

I never liked the rematch anyways, depending on the replacement it could be a good thing.

One rematch for a worse rematch?

Really?

I think Diaz deserves at least lawler. Nick has business against Silva and bisping and gsp beats Nate in return worst case anyways. So Nick still gets gsp and possibly lawler rematch either way.
 
It's going to be GSP he's going to not look like the old GSP at all due to rust, knees etc, still have enough to 50-45 Nate and then retire again after
 
Is GSP really able to fight at 200? Did he tell USADA he was back 4 months before 200 actually happens? That's what you need to do in order to get tested.

I thought Cerrone vs Diaz was a good fight :). Nate has no buisness fighting for the WW strap and you know it. Dos Anjos is busy and another Cerrone win would be big for Nate right now, could give him a shot at RDA before Khabib maybe?

I guess you ment Nick vs GSP? GSP needs a warm up if he is coming back and Nick has enough of a name to make sense. I think it would sell like crazy.
 
Nate is just the #5 (or whatever) ranked LW. He's not headlining shit unless it's against Conor or RDA.
 
To be honest, I would pay just to listen to Nate ramble on inside the octagon for 25 mins as UFC 200's main event.

Why the fuck would anyone want to see that? Nate vs GSP would be a little more interesting because Nate would attack off his back more then his brother

How does either Diaz brother deserve Lawler?
