Nate Diaz fight at one seventy? Rory Markham is being rumored but who else do you think is a good first fight at welter weight for Nate Diaz?
Nate would be a great fight for Rumble Johnson!
Jack Skellington - Nate would be a great fight for Rumble Johnson!
That would be an entertaining fight.

Rumble is about the biggest 170 out there. Real bad idea.
Nate has a real problem. At 155 he's drawn, scrawny and has no punching power. He has problems with wrestlers and isnt great on the feet either.
At 170 the wrestling phenoms will take him down at will. Standing, I dont even want to see what the top 170 hitters like Daley, Hardy, Davis, Saunders or Rumble will do to this guy.
I like the Condit or Sanchez ideas for him at 170.
smth416 -You forgot Nate height works against him at 155. At 6'1 he's usually taller than his opponents. And when he fights wrestlers, the height is a serious disadvantage as they take him down at will.Jack Skellington - Nate would be a great fight for Rumble Johnson!

And as good at his BJJ is, Nate cant seem to pull of the subs from his back when it counts.
Look I like nate Diaz, but I agree, moving to WW is not the answer.
Hazelett

Yep, agree on all points.
He's a tweener weight wise. There are fights he can win at 170 (Markham is one of them). I'm thinking guys without one punch KO power and great wrestling. Condit, Sanchez, Serra and maybe even Swick.
I see the lanky frame working against him at 170 too. I mean can you really see him not getting mauled or KO'd by GSP, Fitch, Koschek, Hendricks, Ellenberger, Daley, Hardy etc?
Hazelett idea above is a good one. I only want to see Diaz fight if he can use his BJJ.
I think Hazelett or Condit would be great. And yeah rumble is huge. Diaz isn't strong or even that big at 155. Rumble would walk through him.
