Reason behind Diaz vs Lawler

[Hasbeen]

I have a theory about this. This makes no sense. Beat a FW and get a WW title shot?! I am incredibly stoked Diaz won and he made me some good money, but he definitely shouldn't be fighting someone like Lawler.

Now the theory... I think Dana White is so pissed that his golden goose was destroyed so badly that he wants to punish Nate. I think this is Dana's way of trying to put a hit on Diaz. Diaz vs RDA could be a good fight even if the first one was lop sided. Lawler destroys any LW with ease. Wtf was Dana thinking?

This isn't a sport. The UFC is entertainment. They don't care about "earning" title shots. Look at Chael vs Jones.

Nate will get the fight because he is hot right now and will sell PPVs.

he wants to legitimize Conners loss, say he lost to the next title challenger

Nate Diaz has good chance to beat Lawler, so it is not out of the world. Same with Conor. Lawler is a big guy but he wants to bang. Makes him perfect for both guys. But Conor needs a cardio workout first.

No.
GSP Vs Lawler @200.
Didn't see the guy front row saturday?

Diaz Vs Alvarez next if I had to guess.

nate has a much better chance to beat lawler than beating rda.
