Idk how many fights are left on his contract, but DFW should definately Shields him away to the UFC and soon before all those wars hes been in catch up to him
I agree. Nick Diaz should be in the UFC.
Problem is that Diaz is a champion and I'm fairly certain unlike Shields he has a Champions clause that won't allow him to become a FA.
I've been wanting Diaz back in the UFC for some time now...will he be able to pass the drug tests is the question.

Because the drug tests that UFC fighters take are different from Strikeforce's???

He gets the same tests in strikeforce that he would in the UFC
I sure hope so...
Nick Diaz has too strong of a bargaining position for the UFC to go after him right now. He has more value to Strikeforce than he would bring to the UFC right now. Hopefully something changes soon. If the SF roster beefs up and Nick isn't one of the few fighters they can build a show off of, or he keeps getting quality wins and 170 in the UFC thins out, then maybe then his value to the UFC would be more than his value to SF. Something like this would most likely have to happen cause I can't see a bidding war between SF and UFC over Diaz.
Rumor is that Dana was actually trying to sign Nick but when GSP heard about it he wet his drawers a little
strikeforce fights are mainly in california,there athletic commission seems to catch more guys then nevada,who knows why but it seems to be the case
When GSP is through cleaning out the division in the UFC, then they'll bring in Diaz.
It's not illegal for Nick to smoke.. He's got a medical card.. It's exactly like having a prescription for pills..

Nick Diaz has got crazy skill.. it takes two to tango out side of the ring.. Nick was probable stomping the asshole who was talking shit

If you haven't heard the Diaz-Riggs hospital story, I suggest you look it up. It's a classic.

You guys are all acting like it is irrational to think that Nick Diaz would fail a drug test...with or without a marijuana prescription. He's failed tests before and has a fondness for the chronic.
