What do you guys think of this match up? We could use it as a #1 contender fight, and to break Diaz back in after that serious lay off. Two great WW fighters, both who are known for their hands. Thoughts?

I'm a huge Diaz fan, but after watching Hendricks just drop Kampman, I'd be worried the way nick's style leaves his chin open to big shots, i mean his chin is good, but Hendricks hits fucking hard, i think he could submit him though, it'd be a good fight |

Tbh, I would rather see them just give Hendricks the shot. I mean he has 5 in a row, waldburger, pierce, fitch, koscheck and Kampmann. Whereas Diaz is coming off of a suspension and a loss. Just doesn't make sense to me. |

Look GSP cant see Diaz inthe standing game. But diaz would be bad against wrestlers. Think guys Its about matchups. |

If GSP fights Silva they need to make this fight. Nick finishes Hendrix.

I love watching Diaz as much as the next guy but it won't be near as enjoyable to see Diaz spend 4:59 on his back every round. Nick Diaz is about as exciting a fighter there is but people need a reality check when it comes to him versus elite wrestlers. |

Nick fans love to ignore the fact that nick sucks against wrestlers. Hendricks would ko him or cut him wide open at some point. |

Johny said he has no desire to fight Nick, and would rather wait up to 10 months for a title shot.
Wise choice, in my opinion. |

LayzieTheSavage - Oh come on. I'm not saying Hendricks would beat Diaz, but it would be an extremely competitive fight. Hendricks is a stylistic nightmare for Diaz. Paul Daley had Nick in big, big trouble and I think we can all agree after tonight that Hendricks definitely has more power than Daley. That being said, I think Diaz is a better striker and submission artist, but he tends to get tagged a lot in his fights and I don't know if he can afford to do that against Hendricks. There's also the fact that Hendricks is a 4 time All-American, and Diaz has been outwrestled by far less accomplished wrestlers than Hendricks. |

MachidasStraightLeft -This.LayzieTheSavage - I feel if a title shot for Hendricks is out of the question, Diaz would be the fireworks we need.

Tubarao - i have seen the Diaz bro's pick apart so many really good strikers that I have to with Nick in this one....Plus they also have the Grappling dynamics that would possibly let us see a lot more of their games - something useful in getting an idea of how they'd fair against GSP

Give Diaz Koscheck before we talk about giving him a #1 contender fight coming off a suspension and a loss |
