I think we should swap these two fights Nick Diaz vs. Gleison Tibau & Alessio Sakara vs. Drew McFedries

i was a little shocked when i seen her wasnt on the main card

[AJL416AZ]

im thinking the Sakara and Vera fights will end fast, so we will see Diaz.

plus Monson/Sylvia is not making it out of the 2nd.

[Dork8503]

i agree with you, if we see the tim jeff fight go 5 rounds ill probally shit myself

I personal don't like Nick Diaz. Don't see why you boys want to see him so much. All he does is lose. Other than the last fight he had lost 3 in row in the UFC. Even surprise they keep bringing him back. It's better for the UFC to show new talent or at least someone new to UFC rather than journeyman like Nick.

ahhh not this shit again, Nick is exciting to watch and a good fighter.. the guy just needs to grow, if he had lost to a BJJ fighter, a striker, and a wrestler in those 3 loses you would have a good point but all 3 of his loses were by decision, and niether wrestler really hurt him.. they just kept takin him down and kept him there.

I don't see anything exciting about losing all the time. And Afro, are you like glue to this forum 24/7? I see you on everytime I post or reply. I'm glad you are always there to give your opinion so it's not a knock on you.

well my friend, the 3 guys that mr. diaz lost to were no joke. one is currently the lw champion, one has a remarkable undefeated record....and well, riggs is a tough dude. the 2 fights he had vs. riggs and sherk, it just didn't seem right. diaz looked like he wasn't even trying to fight. he didn't even show up! i was pissed. he is a very young fighter still....and i don't know if he was partying too much or what....but he is proving that he is back. aside from that.....the dude is a very well rounded fighter. he's a fiesty little s*@t talker. can box, and is extremely awesome on the ground...and displays wonderful bjj.

who wouldn't wann see him fight!?!?

The reason that everyone enjoys seeing Diaz fight is because he is that guy, the one who has all the skills to do something big, but never seems to get there. Like the other people said here, his losses came againts two top guys, and well I really don't have an excuse for him losing to Riggs, that just looked like some seriously uninspired fighting.

I can understand if he keeps losing and has the talent of Vitor Belfort. People like Vitor even when he keeps losing because they see that explosiveness. But when I think of Diaz I don't see anything he is great in. Yes, he is well rounded but not great in anything...usually that is boring. You need to have that special something that draws viewers in. The guy is just boring to me.
