Why is no one talking about a potential Cerrone vs Nick Diaz fight

[zxyss25]

Yes, Nate already beat Cerrone, but that was ages ago, and that wasnt welter weight cerrone 2.0

Plus Nick has had a long welter weight layoff, and probably shouldnt face a top contender (Lawler, Condit, Rory, etc) right away

Both fighters are looking for big pay days, so lets match them up, heck it could probably even headline a PPV or at least a Fox card

You answered your own question, we already saw Nick's little brother kick the shit out of him.

If anything, a rematch with Nate nowadays would be more interesting imo.

Ages ago...Cerrones a new fighter now at WW

Nick moving forward and closing the distance for a nate 2.0 victory, cowboy ain't winning that. Might be entertaining though to see Nick get his first win in forever though. For the record I like Cowboy I just don't think he does well when someone moves forward all the time on him.

I don't think Cowboy is a new fighter. He's a badass, but he also just got crushed in 1 minute by RDA 6 months ago. Beating up Cote didn't erase that memory.

Nick Diaz just stood and traded with 185 Anderson Silva for 5 rounds.

Let Cowboy try to get through the little brother again first, before we get too carried away.

Has he beaten a ranked fighter at Welterweight? Let's not go crazy yet.

Cowboy gets bullied by Nick; verbally and physically.

Because the NBA Finals was on, you radishes

Cowboy gets bullied by Nick; verbally and physically.

...and psychologically. Nate broke Cerrone in their fight. I'd be interested to see how he reacts to Nate in a rematch.

Indeed, psychologically bullied was implied by means of verbal abuse.

Cerrone vs Brown would be way better tbh

Although I agree I think a Nate rematch is very interesting, I would LOVE nick vs cerrone.

Cerrone wants that fight back, and he would definitely be willing to fight Nick to prove a point.

I like this. It will be interesting to see the first ever double KO by body shot.

Apparently, beating Cote is a big feather in ones cap Hes the litmus test for legitimacy in the WW division, apparently

He may not be top 10, but are you saying Cote isn't a legitimate test at 170?

Former title contender at 185, and was on a good run before Cowboy derailed him.

I think hes legit but lets not get carried away

 

[ivory suit]

Cerrone is a much better fighter than the one that lost to Nate.

I say give Cowboy his rematch, i think he would beat Nate if they fought again

 

[BLACKWOLF]

Nick would get embarassed, they'll put him against the big names to make cash money until that "legacy" is run into the ground
