Diaz vs Lombard!

Offer Nick Diaz his 500k and make him fight Hector Lombard for it.

Style wise this is obviously a very entertaining matchup. Hector has been on a roll lately and is arguably 1 win away from a title shot. Diaz is a big name with a lot of popularity, as well as a long history of success in the sport. Diaz already has a win over title challenger Robbie Lawler, so a win over Hector could also be argued as justification for a title bout. Being that Nick would have wins over 2 current top contenders.
Hector last beat Jake Shields (Nick's teammate) so you have the motivation to avenge the loss of a longtime friend and teammate factoring in to Nick deciding to sign the contract and make his return. As well as bring his A-game during the fight.

Regardless of who wins this would be a big fight and a big sucess for the UFC. If Nick beats Hector you have Nick fighting in big fights again. Which win or lose, everyone wants to see. If Hector beats Nick, then you have another top fighter with an entertaining style primed for a title shot. Win-win for the UFC, the fighters, and the fans.

gilbret - Enough with the diaz threads. Why are people so desperate to get a guy whose been retired for well over a year and has already stated his heart isn't in it anymore and that the only thing that can possibly motivate him is a financial sum which Dana has already said he won't pay. Dana isn't going to give someone who lost his last 2 a raise because then he'd have to do the same for Nate and other fighters. Nick is retired and will probably never fight again. Enough with this bullshit. Phone Post 3.0


I love you...Couldn't have said it better..VU!!!

Because some of us care more about great fighters fighting than we care about the propaganda that you guys feed on.

Nick Diaz is a guy who has dedicated his life to fighting. I for one have much more respect for him than the jonny come lately guys who are getting paid heaps of money for their look more so than their fighting skills.

Pay the man. He and many others like him paved the way for the MMA we know now, at their own expense.

How about offer Nick $25K to show and $475K to win against Lombard? If he's as good as his fans think, he'd jump at this offer.

Maybe not so extreme a differential, but a good idea.

say $200 + $300

IMO, $200K is extremely fair, which is what he's being offered now. Especially given the fact he hasn't won in years, it's likely a #1 contenders match and he could make millions if he won the title. If he wants to cry about it, offering him $200K with the opportunity for more still doesn't work. Make him gamble for his money if he thinks an amazing opportunity and being one of the highest paid athletes in MMA isn't good enough. Maybe not $25K/ $475K but $100K tops/$400K.
