    Nick is one of my favorite fighters, but I really don't see this being a good idea.

    Too bad DW and GSP don't have this ****er's confidence... or lunacy.

    Didn't Diaz offer a fight at 180 or something that Mayhem refused?

    hmm i honestly don't remember that but I remember in his youtube videos he seemed afraid (The first time i've seen em afraid of anyone btw). I dislike Diaz but, i have respect for em as a fighter. I'd watch the fight. I'm curious to see how his striking matches up to Silva's.

    It's not a good idea unless you just want to give Anderson an easy win.

    Some Diaz fans are just plainly delusional. Almost on par with the Penn fans pre-UFC 94 (or even post-UFC 94).

    Nick must be smoking too much of the wacky tobaccy.

    Diaz isn't a big 170 pounder, and if Nick couldn't catch cowardly Condit running around the ring, then Silva would be too quick for him.

    This would probably look like the Leben fight.

    Diaz would stand in front of Silva feeling he can take his opponent's power.

    Then BAM! out in a minute.

    Maybe, but would you also say that Diaz would probably **** Leben up pretty bad if they fought?

    I doubt GSP would fight Silva. Out of respect Bones doesn't want him either. So let's move on to who would actually fight Anderson. Weidman and all these other upcomers need more fights to prove themselves. Besides, there is no rush. Bring on Nick. Yeah, sure he might get destroyed. But that's what Silva does - he destroys people. If it's gonna be a mismatch might as well make it a fan friendly fight between two of the biggest stars in the game. I guarantee you for however long it lasts it will be pure brutal action. Silva is obviously the favorite to win but Diaz is always a live dog especially when you consider father time can strike at any moment for Silva.

    Has Nick woke up and ran out of weed? Someone tell this bum to stay retired. He couldn't even turn up for the GSP fight and now he wants Silva? This dude is such a ****in goon.

    Nick is an excellent fighter, but he should be chasing a rematch with Condit or wanting to fight one of the other top 5 guys in his own division. Fighting Anderson at 185 is a sure-fire way to get owned.

    Great idea Nick! I'm sure they are getting the contract ready as we speak.

    Silva would get ****ing surgical on him. It would be criminal. If Nick is tough, he'll get beat up more. If he is human, he is done inside 1 or max 2.
