Nick Diaz says he'll be in Dallas at UFC 171. When, not if, when Johnny Hendricks wins the title will Nick Diaz step in the octagon or make it well known that he wants him next. I like Nick Diaz but even he needs to come to reality that he's coming off to fight a losing streak.
Condit will get the winner. Let Nick fight Lawler/Hendricks loser for a shot

As entertaining a fighter as Diaz and as big a name he is is he doesn't deserve a title shot, you've lost 2 and have retired, come back beat a contender then get your shot, why should anyone who's been inactive and coming off loses take the shot over Condit/Rory etc
I really want Lawler to win but if johny does win and then you go with the give diaz the loser theory we get condit and Hendricks II (I think condit will win) and the Diaz and Robbie again. I like that a lot
Big Diaz fan, he dont deserve shit though.
Technically Hendricks is getting a title shot off of a loss
Seems like the UFC would love to give Nick a title shot. I mean they love money and all and I'm sure it would be a decent PPV. They still try to pretend title shots are always earned though although there are many cases where they aren't. They should keep trying though especially with actual real number 1 contenders like Condit around.
So maybe, just maybe Nick should stop whining, take one fight and with a win, would almost surely get the next shot at the belt. One fight? Really?
I think as good as his boxing is he knows he's got an even shot at best at beating any of the top 5. Thus the pressure to get a title shot.Likely his last title shot as well. He's no spring chicken.
He could be fighting Condit already (no comment on ducking) and with a win could have fought for the belt by the end of the summer/early fall.
If I were the UFC I'd say "when you want to fight someone other than the champ let us know. Otherwise good luck with your future and remember you can't fight for anybody else."
209 Whut! a bunch of idiots.
kalt - The Diaz bros always think they're entitled to a title shot so it wouldn't surprise me. Sad thing is, because a lot of criminal morons think the Diaz bros' antics are "keepin' it real", Dana would probably give his retired ass that title shot. It would do a few more PPV buys than whoever is rightfully the #1 contender. So Diaz gets what Diaz wants, because this is a legitimate sport, yessir. Is Nick Diaz even in the top 10 anymore?Nick will always be top 10. More budo than 90% of "mixed martial artists" out there.
Win, lose, or draw he brings it and is never in a boring fight.
Fuck your sport. I want to see warrior spirit.

It would be interesting to see him face Rory even, if he wins thats a notable name for his case after condit fights for the belt if he beats woodley. If Rory wins than he gets one fight closer to a title shot. Also it gives Diaz the chance to avenge Nates beatdown
Vote me down - Big Diaz fan, he dont deserve shit though.
Voted down.
With GSP gone, Diaz can easily be champ. He can beat Lawler (again) he can beat Condit (again) and he can beat Hendricks which would be the toughest fight for him there now but he'd still win.

I'm sure even guys who don't like Nick agree he's great to watch and a warrior, budo and better than most etc. He's always in exciting fight for sure. But that doesn't he deserves a title shot. Not while on a 2 fight skid and when there are other options for contenders. You know the ones who don't retire after all their fights and keep booking fights.
Mad you're not seeing Nick fight? Be mad a Nick.
how Shields who beat Lawler,Woodley and Condit who is fighting on the same card?
Nick should jump into the cage post fight and grab mic from rogan and rant
Nick Diaz does not deserve a title shot.
