Khabib wants Nate Diaz next

This is troll fest. Diaz destroyed miller and cerrone. Shouldn't this kid have to beat at least someone like edson barboza, lauzon etc and diaz fight maynard or pettish he loses or even dos anjos. Why on earth does this guy deserve a top five shot yet. Who has he beaten?

Troll fest? Khabib said he WANTS to fight Nate, that's all, no signed deal or anything. And people are saying they like the fight because it sounds like a good fight.

I'm not sure if Khabib deserves it or not but crazier fights have been made.
 
Khabib reminds me of Jim Miller for some reason. Anyway...

Khabib may have fantastic ground game but he has never faced a volume striker like Diaz... and we know Diaz isn't very comfortable when there is a threat of a takedown (wrestlers).

Good match up, maybe a little too early for Diaz to accept. "He ain't got a name yet" basically.
 
Nate is to high on the ladder for this right now but down the line.
 
It doesn't make any sense as far as rankings go, but as a diaz fan, I'm fine with the fight. I think nate tears him apart with his boxing, and gets the finish. He may get taken down a few times, but he will still win. It seems people are forgeting how good nate is.
 
great matchup imo..
kabib is like a little guy running through the LW division. he tore up Tibau and that guys is likea natural middleweight

Most people think he lost to Tibau and then he beat a guy who got knocked out by Shane Roller, he isn't running through the LW division.
 
I'm interested in seeing this fight. Book it Dana.
 
hope nate puts a stockton stamp on that ass. waaaayyyyyy unalled for. khabib deserves absolute hell

Wanting to see it doesn't mean it's appropriate given the achievements of the fighters. If you believe this fight should happen you dont believe in meritorious rankings and shots. I do. Unless khabib finishes people like Jim miller or even guys in the top 20 he will be on his way. He certainly is closer to home than any realistic match with diaz ESP after the uproar over chael talking into a shot. He wants to fight bendo too so do all 155. He should call out edson and not be a typical socialist thinking everyones deserving.

I agree with rankings and order to make fights that make sense as well. I didn't say I think this fight should happen right away, I'm just saying it would be a good fight whether it happens next or some day down the road. But then again most fights at 155 sound good anyway.

And I think its good for fighters to ask for big matchups, means they are hungry and want the title. Nothing wrong with that imo.

Yea, Fitch clearly won. Did Silva almost get killed? no.

how did tibau win? by having his back against the cage the entire fight, defending td's?
 
Diaz won't take this fight, it's too dangerous for him. Khabib hasn't proven himself to the North American/South American crowd yet, and Khabib could potentially take Diaz out. It wouldn't be a smart move for him to fight Khabib until Khabib proves himself to everyone's satisfaction.

And if Nate had a fight tonight that he won, you'd be saying Nate would "destroy" Khabib.

Welcome to Sherdog, gents. I say "gents" and not "ladies and gents," because, well, because Sherdog.

No... he just isn't that great. IMO!
