Nick Diaz was sort of like the old gatekeeper.They had him fight Lawler right before Lawler got a shot at the MW title,they had him fight Sherk and now Sherk is dropping to LW to get a title shot,they had him fight Riggs right before Riggs fought Swick in fight that had a lot on the line as far as the open wide UFC MW division,they had him fight Karo and after that Karo was the #1 contender.Diaz was a good gatekeeper.
