Of the UFC, that is. There are other LWs out there who might beat him.

Diego has better cardio, a faster pace and probably better wrestling although it is close in that department. He also has a great chin, atleast as good as BJs.

He hasn't had his chin tested like BJ has, so there is no way to know if it atleast as good as BJ's. I haven't seen Diego get headstomped by Machida or GNP'd by GSP for 4 rounds. He does have a great chin, but I would rate BJ's higher because I have seen it seriously tested.
He uses his wrestling offensively more than BJ, but I'm really not certain he is a better wrestler, nor have I seen evidence that he is. The only guy to outwrestle BJ was GSP, unless you count him gassing, but that is not a wrestling skills thing so much as cardio at Welterweight.
At welterweight Diego has had better cardio, but so far at Lightweight he has not. He slowed down in both his LW matches in the third. I think the weight cut has been difficult for him. I am not sold yet.

Let's not leave out one very important aspect of Diego's skillset..."YES!"...this alone may spell defeat for BJ.

He does have the better scowl, I will give the Nightmare that.

Diego has the scowl, the Yes! and the personal issues, BJ has the boxing, wrestling and BJJ edge. Toss up really.

Diego's standup game is pretty good too, i wouldnt say BJ is that far ahead of him in that department.
