Belfort is ready and trained but has no fight. Riggs chickened out of his fight with Diaz, which leaves Nick with no fight.
Belfort is reasonably well known, and for Diaz to KO or tap him in the first round would look good. Jay Hieron is not known, and would be a nothing win for Diaz.
This would then set up an Anderson Silva vs Nick Diaz match this year where the Spider finally gets KTFO.
santiago
i think diaz heiron is a solid fight
better fight at 185
hieron needs to be in the ufc...just think about the possible matchups there against Antohny johnson, koshcheck, fitch, matt hughes, Swick etc etc...same goes for Diaz..
u want diaz dead?
hieron?
shiiiat
belfort/diaz would be awesome, but yeah isn't a ww
and well, diaz doesn't HAVE to fight for the title right now...give him belfort or santiago!
or fine, let's have diaz plow through hieron and get on to some good ones
wasn't belfort supposed to fight santiago?
...Vitor is in a different league than Nick,Nick is great,but Vitor is to big and to fast and he actually has power in his punches.Nick is at the top at 170,Vitor is at the top at 185&205...and would not have been mauled by Fedor,Nick would have been,War Nick at 170 in the UFC
