Is Nate Diaz a huge draw now?

[ElCasca]

Holly that was so anonymous before fighting Rousey got a 500k pay check for the Tate fight

Is Nate now having the half million purse on a regular basis and more important, if he ask, can he have a rematch against RDA now?

 

[sirmorbach]

I'm not quite sure, but I'd be glad if Nate was about to start getting those super heavyweight checks as well.

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

He definitely deserves the fight with RDA if he wants it.

He definitely gained a ton of exposure from last night. His social media bandwagon grew by 75% in one night.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

If Nate is on point and checks kicks in a fight, he is very tough to beat as a LW.

 

[BeastDanSevern]

Yes.

That was the most watched UFC PPV of all time and it show cased a dominant performance from a down to earth all american bad ass.

Far cry from some fancy talking delusional little man who thinks he so above the sport.

Nate is every man.

But if he lose to RDA again, he will probably go back from scratch, I think at least business-wise would be better for him to fight someone that he can make a war with.

Nate vs Pettis
Nate vs RDA
Nate vs Alvarez
Nate vs Khabib/Fergurson winner


Man this kid has the world at his feet now. and all Connor has is an ass whooping with Edgar coming up.

I agree 110%.

If Dana is smart he will book him with a striker. Diaz is about to trend wayyyyyy up now.

 

[Sgt Smith]

He's a Diaz, they've always been a good draw. That's why he was fighting Conor. I'm sure this will boost his name recognition outside us MMA zealots.

 

[traitmanz]

He should be.....He finished the Cash Cow hype train

 

[Tanaka]

He's certainly the man of the hour, we'll have to see if he can keep the momentum going.

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

I'm not going to base his last performance against RDA on anything.

Nate was clearly out of shape and fighting through some injuries.

If he comes into an RDA fight in the same shape and same preparation as he did against Michael johnson, he has a great chance in a rematch.

If he even loses and has a good showing against RDA, I can't see how he still wouldn't be in the contenders bracket afterwards.

He's always been a relatively good draw, his stock just raised substantially, and I guess he'll be viewed as more "mainstream" now.

 

[ElCasca]

If Ferguson defeats Khabib that fight would be a serious FOTDecade candidate

 

[Jopo]

I hate the RDA fight. I don't think he can win it and don't want his stock down yet. Call me crazy but better matchup for him is Lawler.

 

[YouJustGotDiazed]

Diaz has always been a big draw.

 

[Lepo Lepo]

Nate has always been a draw. His numbers on Fox were pretty IIRC.

RDA beats any form of Diaz.

 

[Son of Werdum]

I would say as far as name and exposure this is the biggest win of either Diaz bro's career.

Not only do I think it will substantially improve Nate's worth, I think it gives Nick some residual benefit. They are kinda seen like a tandem duo, when Nate fights Nick is always in his group during the press conferences. The exposure and how well Nate fought will certainly benefit them both in compensation and leverage for future negotiations.
