Nick Diaz vs Robbie Lawler...I Don't Buy It...

[@holdensagan]

I think Chael's problem is that he assumes that nick is looking for a path to the title. I don't think he could care less. I think he merely wants to compete and make some money. Full stop.

[@kyleelpel9402]

Damn, you missed this one Chael. Nothing is missing. This is a huge fight.

[@KolossusB]

Yeah there seems to be a lot of positive response from the forums at the idea. Plus it's a Diaz, so that alone drives interest already. Then just throw some clips of their first fight in the hype package, along with like Lawler vs rory 2, and diaz vs BJ to hype up their potential no nonsense approach to the fight. Nicks been out a long time, and Lawler is coming up on a year inactive. So it's a good opponent in that regard that he's not having to fight a prime active guy first fight back in his late 30's after 6 years inactive. If Diaz happens to win, parlay it into him vs Masvidal.

[@ayy2193]

Diaz comes back against a good opponent as a chance to see where he's at, without being overwhelmed by the highest level right away Lawler is well known, has been sliding BUT we haven't actually seen him fall off properly. Meaning his chin, speed, etc. All we've seen is he hasn't shown up in fights . So Robbie Lawler could still have his game intact completely if his mindset is right Previous history of a fight between them ending in Robbie KO'd. Might be the thing to light Lawler up again. Likely to be a stand up fight It's perfect
