Nick Diaz's return fight.

[Kyler Ruxin]

So as far as I know, he hasn't said if he wants to be at 170 or 185, he just wants big fights. So who should he fight at either weight? He obviously doesn't deserve a title shot vs Robbie, as fun as that fight could be. I think a huge fight for him right now, and one that would definitely sell, would be Diaz vs. Rockhold. Rockhold is bigger and has the chance to turn this into a ground and pound match, but Diaz is slick on the ground. Rockhold is also cocky as fuck, and might want to try to knock Nick out standing up, just to prove some kind of point. A stand up war between these 2 could be a ton of fun.

Nick vs anybody will be good. Just want to see him fight.

What does deserve have to do with anything? Title fight at 170 or 185 if Bisping keeps the belt. You want Diaz to fight Rockhold? Barf. There is no upside to this fight and it isn't a big fight, so Nick would say, fuck no!

 

[Still your boy]

Diaz would destroy rockhold

 

[TheRassler]

Either Robbie or Bisbing.

That's a weird fight to envision Diaz vs Rockhold.

I don't really care who he fights I just wanna see him be active again

I'm a huge fan of Diaz and would throw my money at him fighting for the title, but he hasn't won a fight since 2011. He's not getting a title fight.

How many fighters have gotten title shots after coming off a loss? It's happened plenty of times.

I am not sure what reality you live in but looking at someone's record for matchmaking would probably make you the worst matchmaker imaginable. So Nick Diaz lost a decision to GSP and Condit (who many argue he won this fight), and went to a decision with a scared Anderson who was on steroids? In your mind that means he can't fight for the title? I don't agree.

How many of them hadn't won a fight in 5 years?

I'd like to see either title fight for him, and I wouldn't care at all if the UFC made it. I just can't imagine they will give someone who hasn't won a fight in 5 years a title shot, because it makes the sport look fucking ridiculous. I was more just wondering what other fights there are to make for him, but apparently he just fights for the title over and over again.

It doesn't make the sport look like anything, so stop whining. Faber also fights for the title over and over, right? Nick Diaz is a big draw, and he needs/wants big fights. Title fights are big fights and Nick has shown time and time again that he has the skill to compete with the best fighters.

Decisions aren't real losses, so he hasn't loss in many years either.

holy shit you are a hard person to have a conversation with. I said I didn't give a shit if they gave him a title fight, I just assumed they won't for obvious reasons, and was wondering what other good fights are out there for him.

Matt brown

yea that would probably be an instant classic. And thank you for not being the first person to tell to go fuck myself for implying Diaz doesn't get an instant title shot haha.

 

[McgreGOATsLeft]

Nick... An instant title shot? Are you fucking kidding me? I think fighters actually might riot if that bullshit happened.

If Bisping's opponent gets injured, Nick Diaz
