If Nate wins, will this help Nick secure a ww title shot?

[Winger]

Or will zuffa not risk having to deal with two Diaz bros ruling the division?

Good luck getting those 2 to fight each other.

Okay but will it help Nick get a title shot at WW?

I don't think it will help him. I think he is going to get it sooner or later anyway.

 

[Break Brick]

I dont think it will affect it. Nick is pretty much a shoe-in for the shot anyway, as long as he doesn't balls it up.

 

[Michaelangelo]

Nick should fight Hendricks. Either way he's going get a #1 contenders match when he comes back.

 

[Warbringer Doom]

Depends on if they wanna take the "can 2 bros hold the belt at the same time" marketing angle. If they saw dollars in the pumping up of "Da Diaz Broz: the hardcore ballers from Stockton." Then yeah I could see it helping.

 

[lockon]

nope it wont help nick
i think nick will get it after 1 win once he comes back anyway

 

[Brock2026]

It might but I can't picture Diaz beating GSP. Nate is also going to have a hard time beating Benson.

 

[aker2703]

nate winning is irrelevant.
nick will get the shot because GSP is scared to fight anderson and diaz is better financially (for GSP) than hendricks.

just like chael is better for jon than machida or hendo.

 

[guilineseguy]

Why would Nate winning/losing have anything to do with Nick? Coming back after a loss, is not going to get the title shot. He beats a contender or two then yeah they are going to try and throw him right in there.

 

[rplende]

What has Nate Diaz winning got to do with Nick getting a title shot? This thread is dumb!

 

[MortalWombat]

I was going to call the idea silly, but with the latest shenanigans, you might be onto something. I'm going to go with "Yes".

How does one have to do with the other?
