Topuria vs Nate Diaz

[Goat Poster]

Could this be why we won't believe it? It would probably need to be at 165/170 but it actually kind of makes sense.

Diaz will keep being Diaz, win or lose and Topuria probably becomes the 2nd biggest star in the sport with a win. Seems a smart business move...

Am I wrong to think this will be bigger than a Oliveira/Poirier fight? It would make all the sense for the UFC to do this. Give Topuria an easier and bigger fight and even if he loses you setup a fight against McGregor perfectly, you give Diaz a shot at the BMF and then you finally get the Diaz Conor trilogy. What's the downside?

Is this actually being talked about or are you on meth?

Topuria destroys Nathan

 

[Luthien]

Nate's destiny to stop riding hot 145'er champs coming to 155

 

[Captain Tenneal]

Yes, I agree with allowing another old UFC great to be mercilessly beaten down because the UFC can't promote otherwise

Topuria get Stockton slapped then curls in a ball an taps in fear

The Nate who wiped up Michael Johnson vs Ilia would have been interesting. Ilia would eventually take him down but I'm not sure he could sub Nate and his GnP, while effective, isn't a highlight of his skillset (at least that we've seen). Nate is an old man now so moot point and no, it wouldn't be bigger than Ilia fighting Charles nor Dustin.

Iila would ko him in 2 rounds max at any point. He isn't eating those punches. Some dudes will just crack any chin

Beating Nate Díaz doesn’t mean anything anymore

Look at what it did for Leon’s star power, absolutely nothing

 

[tritestill]

Fucking ban this dude

He is on the same meth Nate is.

Also Topuria would beat the shit out of Natan. He would give him another TKO loss.

That would be funny if a former FW MMA fighter does what Jake Paul failed to do--KO or TKO Nate.

It would be a waste of a fight, though. The ONLY thing Nate would have going for him would be size, as he's the bigger fighter and I'm sure it would have to be at 170. Still, Nate is too old and slow to do much against an elite fighter in their prime.

 

[Ozze]

So you want Topuria to fight Diaz and than Conor?

Fuck off with this shit. They're both old news, move on.

Nate at his absolute best has nothing at all for Topuria at his worst.
