Prediction: correct dos Anjos   correct Decision  

Probably going with Dos Anjos. Nate has been out a while, his heart isn't in it and Dos Anjos is in the middle of his prime while Nate hasn't ever went more than 3-0 in the UFC..Inconsistent.

So RDA gets a title shot after he beats Nate?

Obviously RDA is the favorite and rightfully so, but I feel like Diaz has made a habit out of shocking people and winning fights he shouldn't.

155 title picture is about as murky as it gets, but in the best way possible. You could give the winner of Alvarez/Cerrone a shot, along with a returning Khabib, along with RDA if he wins this one. Going to come down to timing.

I am torn on this fight. Dos ground game might be good enough to out grapple nate, however if this fight remains standing, I think Nate would win this.

I'd prefer this as main event as opposed to JDS/Miocic. Diaz has a better chance if it were five rounds, I think RDA is to quick, strong, and technically sound enough to avoid early trouble.

Khabib is going to be our whitest champion ever someday and it will be glorious. All hail the Eagle.

Dos Anjos by decision here. I don't go along with Diaz Bros hype.

Prediction: wrong Diaz   wrong Decision  

My first instinct was Diaz gets destroyed, but the more I think about it the more I think he has a good chance. Just thinking about the massive height and reach advantage he'll have, combined with the fact that he stands almost sideways to lengthen that snappy jab, I just don't know guys. How does RDA find him? I can see the volume just wearing RDA down and breaking him. Maybe RDA holds him on the fence. I'm probably going with Diaz on this one but not sure.

Diaz's boxing plus length should give Dos Anjos a lot of trouble.
