Nate Diaz said he wants the fight with Conor at 155 lbs

Ya, screw Khabib, Alvarez and El Cucuy.
Khabib hasn't fought in how long? And suddenly he deserves a title shot? Alvarez can fight the winner of Khabib and Ferguson for all I care. Winner of that gets next title shot after Diaz.
 
Certainly would make more sense. Winner gets RDA. Edgar and Aldo can fight for an interim belt or sit there and cry a bit more.

Only logical reason for this idea is that Conor needs to beat Nate at 170 for his ego.

Conor is a nobody at 155, they're even fighting at 170 so Conor can make the excuse that he never lost at 155. After watching the Australian card I can say that Conor isn't even top 15 at 155. 155 is easily the most stacked division and a win over Conor doesn't mean anything but a fat cheque.

Okay if you say so. The fight isn't official at 170lbs, so we will see. Winner of Diaz/McGregor vs RDA would generate more interest than any other fight for RDA at this point.
 
its just for an excuse even though nate and conor are near the same weight on fight night. Their reach is also pretty close, nate is just taller.
