High risk, low reward at the time it was offered I suppose. 
Technical Primates -Barbo lasted 3.15 vs Cerone.GrindOnLine -Technical Primates -I have watched it.GrindOnLine - 1) I don't think he refused and it was a contract issue
2) if he refused is because barbo got destroyed by vagner and cerone and he is trying to move needles headlining.
3) love barboza and still won't put this one on him but I hate that angle. His management need to stop ASAP
Got destroyed by Cerrone?? Did you even watch that fight? He was lighting Cerrone up before he got stunned with that hard jab coming in and then finished with a choke. How is that getting destoryed? And as I recall he was winning the fight against Varner also.
Now put yourself in Nate shoes and tell me if you are going to bother with the little details.
Okay I'm in Nate's shoes and I'm not gonna bother.
No seriously I don't know what you mean.
Cerone got dominated for 15mn by Nate.
Why would Nate take the fight?
Nate s fighting the guy who just ktfo the exiting champion.
Smart move by Nate.
As I said, I like barbo but lets stop pretending that the early success he had against Cerone means anything to Nate.
Not surprised to hear a Diaz dodging an opponent.
Why u scared homie?!?!
kingkoopa - Not surprised to hear a Diaz dodging an opponent.Yup, he dodged the #13 guy to fight the #1 guy. Makes sense.
Why u scared homie?!?!

It doesn't matter if you get dropped by a half ass jab or a hard jab, at the end of the day you got dropped by a jab.
Nate saved him an ass whoopin. He should be thanking nate.
How about a cowboy rematch killer...
rockfists - Nate saved him an ass whoopin. He should be thanking nate.
Doubt it. Did you see the Barboza vs Green? Green and Diaz have a similar style; no way Nate wins.
Nate would TKO him. I said it.
Revik -Green and Nate have a similar style? What because Green was talking shit in the cage? Lol ok brorockfists - Nate saved him an ass whoopin. He should be thanking nate.

Pettis, Gil, Khabib r all above him.
Plus Barbo is a tougher match up stylistically
cwashrohawk - Winner of Ferguson and Trujillo would be a fantastic matchupI like this.

Doubt it. Did you see the Barboza vs Green? Green and Diaz have a similar style; no way Nate wins.
Because they are both one dimensional strikers that walk forward. Barboza can simply chop his leg down or head kick him.
fenatic - Complete bull shit. Nate Diaz didn't turn down that fight for any other reason than he was in a contract disagreement. Manager is trying to spin it to sound good for his fighter. Joker.
"Manager is trying to spin it to sound good for his fighter."
oh the horror!! who woulda thunk about that???
now let's stop pretending that RDA isn't a much better matchup from a risk/reward standpoint.

Green doesnt walk forward. He is a counter fighter, thats why he spends so much time talking in the cage
You cant chop someone down while backpeddling from the onslaught coming at you, ask Cerrone
kingkoopa -Ok, so #4 guy over the #13 guy, lol. It doesn't change much. Which fight does more for his career? It's common sense.Hate420 -Dos isnt the #1 guykingkoopa - Not surprised to hear a Diaz dodging an opponent.Yup, he dodged the #13 guy to fight the #1 guy. Makes sense.

He's been forced to be agressive these past few fights.
Cerrone had no head movement or good footwork in that fight. While Barboza has been improving his movement with Frankie Edgar.
