"I don’t see any irony ... Even though Fedor is now under contract
with Zuffa, I still have a hard time imagining he’ll ever fight in the
UFC. We’ll see, but that’s my bet right now. There are few fights,
though, that can’t be made now. And that’s the good thing. You know me
... I’m as big a fan of this as anybody and I love making the fights
that everyone wants to see. At the end of the day, it’s all about making
great fights and the fights the people want to see. That’s what we’re
doing."

Sounds promising still.

I often forget Cung Le even exists.

Thank God for BBC's creepy obsession to keep him relevant

Cung Le is an awesome wrestler and one of the best strikers ever. He has some of the best judo also. My creepy obsession with him is that he is a badass! If Cung fought MMA 8 years ago he would beat the shit out of Silva and GSP.

Don't let your creepy obsession turn to hallucination.

Nick would lose to great wrestlers, nothing has changed, many close decision losses.

I'd keep him away from guys like GSP, Fitch, BJ, Kos, Alves at first; I'd like more Condit, Diego, Kampmann's of the division.

I agree on the wrestlers, but why Alves and BJ? Those would be fantastic fights that Nick could most def win.

Alves and BJ would fuck Nick up.

I would love to find out, see what's really up.

Yeah cause Nick has been beating guys on that level. And both guys have strong enough wrestling themselves, plus have better striking.

Why not just find out? I think he can beat him, plenty others do as well. Let's see it in the cage.

How about we find out if he can beat Diego Sanchez first.....

But I'm down for all fights, just have a different idea of when they should take place.

Plenty of sites right now calling for GSP vs Nick. Read about it on BE and mmamania earlier.

They ask what fights you'd be most excited for and picture GSP vs Nick...

Some people might want it, I just know GSP will take him down easy and probably win a boring UD, I'd rather see Nick face some other guys first.

GSP would murder Nick Diaz.

You THINK so, I'd love for us to KNOW. Only way that happens is in the cage.

Eh, not seeing Nick's standup style translating well at all in a fight with Alves. He'd be in a good deal of trouble there

Yeah Thiago isn't Cyborg, imagine Thiago's kicks that Nick rarely checks? then he's really powerful and can takedown most WWs except the best wrestlers. Nick BJJ is good but doubt he subs Alves and def not BJ.

OU fine, I actually don't even care, he'll get his ass beat, but my MMA dream is complete, lets the fights roll.

I only want to see BJ whoop Nick's ass. That's why I picked that fight. BJ would beat Nick on the feet and on the ground. BJ is better in every way. GSP is a step up from BJ, so that is crazy talk. GSP would own Diaz in two rounds max. He would be a bloody mess by round two and doctors would be crying.

In a striking affair I think Nick gives anyone trouble, especially a lw whose career is littered with fights in which his stamina has played a negative role.

And I for one am not acting like Alves, fresh off a decision win over John Howard is too good for Nick Diaz.

And Alves and BJ are bangers, they'd stand.

They are better strikers, and having proven themselves against higher quality competition. And bro, who has given BJ stamina problems? some of the fucking best fighters ever? Look at who Nick has been beating lately, that's why I've always chilled on going crazy over him.

Alves's only win in the last 2 years is John Howard.

Injuries, and faced GSP and Jon Fitch, we;'ve seen Alves beat top guys before, he'd run through Nick's level of comp.
