I think nate needs to be humbled

Started drinkin his own koolaid

Throw em in there
 
Nate is just looking to slide out for a potential fight with Jake and then slide back right into the UFC whenever that situation is settled. Personally I think he's going to change his mind about coming back to the UFC and he's going to end up trying out another promotion. I don't see why, if he's serious about starting his own promotion, he wouldn't market it by fighting in it now that his UFC contract is up.
 
I'm imagine if Diaz was on Glory he would have a good deal of pull, he wouldnt just be booked to fight on the undercard against a mid level guy who might beat him.

I'd guess either he would fight for the belt in a main event or he'd have some kind of other match that would suit him, maybe a kickboxing match against another MMA fighter or a boxer?

Most likely though he ends up celeb boxing I'd agree, probably just using Glory to build up his value a bit highlighting he has other options.

Glory would pay Nate good like they pay their other stars as Badr Hari, Rico Verhoeven, Alistair Overeem, etc.
Then match him up with one of their other upcoming stars like Hamicha, to boost his name.
Nate won’t make a serious run in Glory I guess..
But this all won’t happen after all, for Nate’s own good..:D

Again though I think Nate would probably have enough pul to be treated like someone such as Overeem and not used by Glory to try and build up someone else.

Yeah ofcourse they will hype him up and treat him as a big name, which he is ofcourse, not just to hype someone else up over Nate’s name.
But what I meant is, that will happen automatically as a result of it cause someone like Hamicha will make easy work of Nate and become a bigger star while doing so, since Nate is super well-known worldwide and people will tune in to watch him fight.
Overeem on the other hand, nobody is writing him off against Badr Hari. Badr is the deserved favorite in their trilogy fight, but I don’t think anyone will be super surprised if Reem will give him a good fight and possibly win. It’s very well possible that Alistair wins that fight.
If Nate wins against Hamicha that will be an upset for the ages.

I suspect though if Nate did fight for them it would not be against some dangerous up and coming kickboxer, it would likely either be against a big name for them or some all star fight that just happens to be in Glory.
 
Nate needs to stay away from any combat sport that has leg kicks in it. He would get brutalized in kickboxing by everyone.
 
Nate will do some form of celebrity boxing.

He'll either promote it, co-promote it or be paid an enormous cut of the PPV by another promoter.

At his age, it would be nuts to enter a serious professional kickboxing league. Those days are long gone. He's now a famous, rich and semi-retired fighter.

Yeah I think so top, but atm they don’t have any big star at welterweight..
Their biggest names were Cédric Doumbé and Nieky Holzken. Doumbé switched to MMA and Holzken signed with ONE.
You also have Murthel Groenhart who is quite well-known and a former Glory champ aswell, but he also made the transition to MMA

Again my guess would be that he's really interested in working with Jake Paul but showing he has other promoters after him strengthens his position in negotiations.

I don’t think Jake is going to take on Nate next, in case he manages to win against Anderson Silva (which I doubt). That will be a step down in competition and it looks like Jake is looking for better opposition all the time.
If Jake loses to Silva, a Nate Diaz fight is very well possible
 
Would rather see Nate box. I'd like to see Silva beat Paul and then retire and then see Nate beat Paul as well.
