Brown deserves a title eliminator fight and I don't think a fight with Diaz who is retired and lost a bunch of fights prior to retiring will help much with getting a title fight. Great fight for box office $$$ and entertainment value.
You're right in theory... but not in reality. The UFC is an organization where Gina Carano is being courted for a title shot and where Chael Sonnen got a crack at the lhw gold. Popularity matters.
I want to see Diaz back in hopes to see him lose. I do give him props, he comes to fight everytime, I just don't like him. I would like to see him v.s. Brown though. That would give him a real challenge to see if Brown is ready for a title shot.
I could easily say he doesn't deserve it right now. It's not about whether or not he could beat Browne. It's about sitting idle while the division moves him by and forcing him to reassert himself before he 'deserves' anything in the division again.
Lol no. Diaz doesn't deserve a guy who is on 7 fight win streak.
