Regarding the UFC and Diaz Bros? UFC 209?

[dragonsfly]

I Honestly believe the Diaz bros are worth more then they demand in reality. They are one of the core of MMA community faves and bring that excitement in a good light and bring alot of feel good factor. A Diaz Bro is entertaining on an off camera on the streets, public and everywhere. They are veterans now and have been in this sport more then a decade.

On a serious note the UFC owes them a lifetime achievement bonus for just being in the UFC for so many years. They deserve to have this privilege and ofcourse without doubt HOFers.

Most of the interesting fighters retired or suspended. The Diaz bros have been the most interesting part of MMA for me and without them it would be effin empty. I couldn't imagine them retired or how MMA will look like without them?

I can tell you what alot of people will start to feel old all of sudden and realize time is moving faster then we imagined. The Diaz Bros are legends. The UFC should grant their demands

Why would Nate fight Khabib?

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

I love watching them fight, but they don't bring in the money they are asking for. Damn shame.

 

[SuBB]

Why would Nate fight Khabib?

He s been offered the fight and refused by wanting a ridiculous amount of 20 mill to fight, the homies scared of the bear rapist dagestani

But what does he have to gain from that fight?

If you are Nate Diaz, why would you fight Khabib?

He's not a big name and not a PPV draw.

Even if he beats the shit out of Khabib, what is he going to gain from it?

What was he gaining from Conor when he fought him?? The fight was offered since 2014

Money

Money

That's rite he can make good money from khabib aswell but asking for that kind of money is ludicrous. He doesn't deserve that much

 

[soulsstealer]

seems kinda odd they would be feautered just cuz of the number but why not.

Nick Diaz hasn't been in the UFC for very many years. He is a 0.500 UFC fighter who has never beat a legit Top 10 WW, who is 1 - 3 since he came back from the minor leagues, and hasn't fought in 2 years.

He doesn't literally mean 20 mil he is just making it clear he wants a big payday to fight.

I'm the first guy to make a thread about this last year.

but seriously, you need to let it go. It really isn't that big a deal.

What he gained from fighting Conor? About 20 million dollars.

 

[leto1776]

Wow, are there really people who care about seeing the Diaz bros on the event that shares a number with their city's area code? Really?

They're worth a lot when paired with a GSP, Silva or McGregor. Nick did about 230,000 buys with BJ Penn and 400,000 with Carlos Condit. In reality, they're overvaluing themselves and piggy backing off the success of others. It may be that since the McGregor drama and a few other things, that they're name value is higher than ever right now, but I can't see either doing that well without a big star.
