Machida's bigger, faster and not one to get intimidated by forward pressure, and that's even before we talk about all the spinning **** he could throw against Diaz. I think Diaz gets finished for the first time since Jeremy Jackson if this happens. I doubt it will, though
But from a marketability point of view, this is a dream matchup. This **** would sell.
=============
From the article: ""I wanted Machida to fight Vitor Belfort, but Vitor Belfort is his own matchmaker, apparently," White joked. "He wants to make his own fights."
I'd have to say that Vitor's not making the best case to get that coveted title shot pissing off the boss right and left. Plus, that's totally opposite to what he said on the MMA hour last time he was there. He said it's not all about titles and he's a UFC employee and will fight whoever they put in front of him ... apparently that's everyone he knows he can beat or is not in his weight class therefore won't jump in front of him in line in case of a loss.

Nick Diaz is so...*******...slow...there is literally no way he could beat Lyoto Machida. I'd give myself a better shot than Nick ******' Diaz, **** I'd give Tacos and his 32-0 amateur record a better chance than ******* Nick Diaz.
The potential ***** fit after the fight tho, that would be awesome.

I'm going to have to agree with Anik on this one. I can't envision any way that Nick Diaz wins that fight.
It's not like he has a lot to gain by fighting him either.
