A comeback from Diaz would be huge and the UFC knows it, he's easily worth the 500k if not much more.

PS: I think Lombard mauls Nick.
PSS: Lombard is worth his 300k salary.
PSSS: Of you think a perennial top 5 Middleweight in Yushin Okami was EXPENSIVE at 40k/40k you must hate MMA fighters.

I'd love to see him fight, but if I were the UFC I wouldn't set a 500K for a mid-losing streak, non-champ precedent with a guy who's just going to keep losing to anyone with a double-leg in his arsenal. That said, I don't give two ****s about the UFC's bankroll, so why not, I say give him 500K a fight. There's a ****load of fights I'd like to see Diaz in.
Mostly, I'd still love to see him rematch Lawler. I think Robbie knocks him the **** out. This Lawler is a totally different beast than the one that fought Nick the first time while Nick is exactly the same, just a tad bigger.

However, if he did put a couple wins together and make it to a title fight, and then if Johnny wanted to be crazy and fight Nick like he fought Robbie then I think Diaz can win the fight. But if Hendricks wanted to use his wrestling I'm sure he can take Nick down at will and win probably every round, but he might just be reckless enough to just stand and box with him.
Anyways, I hope they pay him his half a mil... I'd love to see him back.

Personally I am a fan of what the Brothers Diaz offer to the fight game and I respect thier craft, I mean Diaz vs Daley is one of my favorite fights. But in reguards to the fight game he has become a non factor due to his in activity in my book. But seriously all he needs is one good fight with someone to get him back into the mix.
I would love to see him rematch either Condit or Lawler. Either of those fights I would be happy with.
Or even Maia, if they desided to grapple it would be something great. Cause Diaz can be offensive when he needs to and take risks. I like the match in that.
I hope we can see him fight soon, but he would have to start at the end of the line like everyone else, after back to back title shots (I include the interim title).
A big shout out to fish for never drowning, my boy Gilbert Melendez, Pineapples, and Stockton 209 WHAT!!!

If you can pay Carrano a top dollar why not Nick?

ps. YUSHIN OKAMI IS SO WORTH THE ******* 40K/40K THE UFC WAS JUST SO BUTT HURT THAT HE BEAT LOMBARD WHO THEY PAID ******* 300K FOR.
Welterweight Lombard is worth the 300k though

It happened after the GSP fight, and if it had happened again a few months later, no one would be talking about him now. It was good for him that he layed low for a while, that helped people forget the loss/whine and start building interest again. But give him a couple more straight losses and he'll be cut instantly. No way the UFC would continue to pay him 500k cause by that time people will have grown tired of his antics.
Talking will get you far but you have to back it up eventually or bust.

Take that for a grain of salt because I am not exactly sure how much of the PPV revenue Zuffa keeps vs Cable companies and pts going to the fighters, but if Nick wants $500k, he should try to negotiate PPV pts into his contract (if he doesn't have that already). Additional buys means more money for all parties.

Not that I'm against supporting other cards but I just can't afford to buy every one so I just wait for the fighters that I really want to succeed before whipping out the credit card.
