Coker-"Diaz/Miller possible in 2011"

http://mmaweekly.com/mayhem-miller-vs-nick-diaz-possible-in-2011-strikeforce-mma


Miller has recently made it seem(or has tried to convince us) that it's Nick that doesn't want to fight Miller saying something like "I want it, Scott wants it, so that only leaves Nick from making it happen". But these comments from Scott

“You have to look at it from all different angles,” Coker said about Mayhem vs. Diaz. “Would it be a fun fight to promote? Sure. I think we should wait until the beginning of the year, and let’s have another conversation on that because with Miller and Diaz I just couldn’t imagine the extra security that I’d probably need to get to make that fight happen.”

Makes me think Scott is the one waiting to pull the trigger. And Miller is just effectively selling the fight by pissing Nick and his fans off by claiming he doesn't want to fight Miller.

Doesn't matter Scott... Make it happen!

Right either way make it happen, I'm just saying if it doesn't it wasn't because Nick didn't want the fight.

just building some more hype its just a matter of time before they make it happen and when diaz beats that ass I want diaz to whoop daley as well.

Everything is happening in 2011 with Coker

LOL. 4real

So the 2 biggest fights out there for 2 of his highest rated champs and Coker is finding reasons not to make the fights?

Not cool.

Nick hasn't spoken up and said he wants the fight yet. I don't think he wants to get embarrassed by Mayhem.

Coker is full of shit half of the time, so this doesn't surprise me.

All this means is Coker wants to promote it next year. We all know that. Fact is, this fight won't happen or come close to happening until one of these guys agree to fight at WW or MW or somewhere in between. This one is up to the fighters because of the different weight classes.

Maybe Mayhem should challenge Cesar Gracie to a fight and knock him out with one punch in 20 seconds like Frank did. That sure inspired Nick to move up.

"Coker did point to the fact that Diaz’s next fight would likely not be in the welterweight division, as Strikeforce sorts out who exactly would be the next challenger for his 170-pound belt."
