From my understanding Luque is suffering from brain damage already. That could be a game changer for diaz to get a stoppage or sub if his neck is ok.A quick RNC finish would be the best outcome , doesn't matter by who but Luque has to be the overwhelming favorite .
This fight should not happen unless Nick is in hock with the mob
Most of the die hard fans are also in their 40's. They know the time is up. It was fun while it lasted and the cardio + jiu jitsu + 1,000 punches per fight made amazing entertainment that will live on in their minds, and eventually fade away into the sands of time.
I certainly appreciated watching him compete.
C'mon man, it's way deeper than that...To fully appreciate what a F'n badass Nick is, imagine being toasted on some really good bud and you agree to step in the cage with Anderson Silva...
then doing it and remain conscious after making it to the end of the fight.
Nick has a major advantage over most older fighters -cardio.His life now lost fighting hasn't been good so Nick is probably asking for a fight to get his life back under his control and structured with training and prepping for a fight.
