Yeah, Diaz bros don't handle guys with good leg kicks very well.
I would love to see him vs Wonderboy @170

zackthewop -I'm guessing Oliveira. Nates gives him a good chance at winning and setting up a title fight but it also gives charles a chance at beating a big named fighter that puts him in the spotlight and a chance to fight for the title.
Of the top guys at 155, I think that Nate has the best chance against Olivera. So, I think that you’re right that he might be the fight.
Given what RDA did to Nate’s legs, I can’t imagine that a Gaethje fight would be pretty.
I'd like to see Oliveira. I think Oliveira beats him similar to how he beat Tony.
Gaethje IMO might put him in the morgue.

Great matchup. I think Oliveras better at this stage of their careers, but its guranteed action.

It won't be Oliveira. Oliveira is in the title picture, Diaz is in the fight exciting strikers and make money picture.
Oliveira just beat Lee and Tony, he will be fighting for the title vs the winner of Conor/Dustin.
Khabib is retiring.
Diaz is coming back to 155 lbs and will fight Gaethje.
Just my opinion.

Wonderboy picks him apart easily I think
Only reason Nate is going to 155 is because nick will be returning to 170

I think you are right but I think it would be compelling viewing even if it was one sided

You’re correct, it’s Gaethje, and the fight will be announced just before Conor’s fight. People seem to forget, the UFC LOVES Gaethje. He’s fought who they asked him to fight over and over, he makes weight, looks amazing and wins. If Conor and Khabib aren’t around (retired or boxing) then Gaethje is a guy they want fighting for the belt.
A win over Nate helps build his brand for the post Khabib/Conor era. Other than Conor, Nate is the biggest brand builder in the division, and they’d rather give that treatment to Justin than Oliveira…especially when the UFC was trying to make Gaethje vs Oliveira and the Oliveira side said no.
They don’t reward the guys who say no with better fights, they reward the guys who say yes.
UFC lightweight contender Paul Felder says he would love to fight Nate Diaz and says he doesn’t care what weight the fight is at.
Felder is in Fight Island where he will be doing his usual commentary duties. The No. 8 fighter in the lightweight division, Felder is coming off of back-to-back losses to Dan Hooker and Rafael dos Anjos. However, both of those were competitive fights and there’s no shame in losing to either fighter. There was some talk that Felder could potentially hang up his gloves, but he ended up changing his mind. He then signed a contract extension with the UFC for several more fights. He is not done yet.
Another fighter who still has something left to give is Nate Diaz. UFC president Dana White recently said that he was talking to Diaz about a big fight, though he offered few other details about the fight. But if Diaz truly is going to make a comeback, then Felder is hoping that he will be in the running for the fight. Speaking to the media ahead of the latest UFC Fight Island series, Felder said he hopes the UFC considers him as Diaz’s opponent in what would be a battle between two fan favorites.
“No, my God, I’ve had so many people tag me and say, ‘UFC in the works, Paul Felder vs. Nate Diaz in the works.’ When are they gonna call me and tell me about that that because you want to talk about getting motivated and excited, I would absolutely love that fight. Like Hooker even said about it, I’ll fight him ‘85, 205, it doesn’t matter, that’s a fight you take. Nate’s a legend at this point. I would love that fight, but no, it’s not me. I wish it was me,” Felder said (Via MMAFighting.com).
I think Oliveira is better than Nate but Nate could make this an ugly fight and for Oliver's to brawl.
Justin vs Nate would be an ex iting war
