I like Diaz vs Masvidal personally.

What's the actual timeline for his return?

Lawler would be my first pick, though he's rumored to be fighting Thompson.

The winner of Cerrone and Perry would be great. 

Diaz vs Masvidal... I'm not sure the world can handle that much mean mugging all at once.

I think every person u named on that list beats nick diaz

His time is done its just about money now he'll do his best to cherry pick the big money fights.

Just like Gsp, Woodley, and Conor do now.

Just like Khabib and Colby will do soon.

Can't blame them i guess they wanna get paid!!

Woodley and Colby would be the most money and for belts.

Official welter champ and interim welter champ.

Gsp would be alot too but him and woodley want conor for the biggest payday!

So my answer is who the **** knows what the crazy ufc will do.

I'm for Diaz vs Masvidal, but Mazzy would smoke Nick TBH. That's a very, very harsh return debut for a guy who hasn't fought in three years, and who has had two fights in the last 5. Say what you want about Masvidal but he has nasty hands at middle distance and in the pocket. Nick would get his lights punched out.

In all honesty, I can't stand the Diaz brothers. They're both incredibly entitled given how average their records are.

@Bruce I'm pretty much on the same page. Could care less if I ever see him fight again.

Watch him get gifted an unmerited PPV headline slot against a top fiver or a big draw anyway, though.

@Imperator - I totally get that you don't like the way they fight, and they don't have the most consistent records, but they've fought and beaten top guys.

Diaz vs. Masvidal is a nice idea, as has been mentioned. 

Chael mentioned the possibility of Diaz vs. Covington. I like the sounds of that.

He's been cleared to return for awhile. Why would he be motivated to return now?

@Skelli Covington would bore out a UD there pretty easily IMO.

@Fish you realize that RDA had to have invasive surgery right after his fight with Colby right? Just about lost an ear. Colby whooped his a$$ from pillar to post, took his best shot and kept going. That was actual ****. RDA never stood a chance in that fight. Stop being salty.

Yeah, that was a freak injury. It happens.I'm not salty, I just don't like boring fighters.Colby is that. If he didn't rn his mouth constantly nobody would even talk about him.If you're gonna wrestle and grapple, you've got to work. This thing is about damage, not burying your head in your opponent's garden of good and evil sniffing **** for 5 rounds on the fence to earn a UD.

Nobody wants to see that. Usman, Khabib--I like guys like that. I like a good fight

In any case I agree with you that it's RDA's fault for not being able to defend a single. Terrible performance.
