Struve wont be cut if he loses. As long as he doesnt have a health issue, I think they will give him one more chance.

Re: UFC on Fox - Dec 13 - Phoenix

I was hoping Struve would retire, not because I want him too, just for his own good.

I'm sorry Struve, but I've got Reem taking this one and putting his name back on the radar.

JDS v. Miocic is the Main Event

Nate Diaz will end his hold out and face RDA

Lol at dude not even getting a new deal. Maybe next time he'll let a professional handle his negotiations

A source close to the Diaz camp confirmed to MMAFighting.com that Diaz will return under the terms of his old contract.

They probably promised him a new deal if he won. He lost out on a lot of money and potential fights with that dumb *** holdout.

I don't know why RDA is taking this fight. He should be next in line or 1 fight away from a title shot. Diaz gets him nothing other than maybe some money, but I doubt he even gets part of a PPV and with it on FOX probably nothing. Diaz shouldn't be getting a top level fighter like this when he is 1-2 in the last 2 years. He should have to prove he can beat someone who doesn't stand in front of him and not move.

I'm hoping RDA takes him down and subs him.

Cant say I agree. Diaz was ranked #9 before he was removed from the rankings and is coming off a win. He lost to #4 (Henderson) and #6 (Thomson). He beat #5 (Cerrone) and the current #9 (Miller). The only options the UFC had was Khabib (who is injured) and Dos Anjos. I dont think fights against Bobby Green or Jury wouldve been enough to get Diaz to come back and fight.

Also, you shouldnt penalize Diaz that much for being 1-2. Henderson is 1-2 in his last 3 and I dont think that means he should have to work his way back up.

I agree with what Aaron is saying plus fighters want to stay active.

Too me it's still a toss up with who gets the shot after Gil anyway. Assuming Khabib is still injured and RDA beats Nate and Cerrone beats Alvarez, then I'm not sure who deserves the next shot. RDA holds a recent win over Cerrone, but has lost this year. Cerrone has a more impressive streak (imo), but does his losses to RDA, (as well as Pettis if he beats Gil) push RDA above him? I don't know, all I do know is that if it all plays out like this, then it going to be a tough decision and it's only going to be more difficult when Khabib returns.

Diaz weighed in at 160.6. That's unprofessional

I love the Diaz brothers, but Nate is getting out of control. He has literally become a carbon copy of his brother.

i think regardless if Nate wins he shouldn't be near a title shot if hes gonna miss weight like that, it feels like Nate had done that in the past

Re: UFC on Fox - Dos Santos v. Miocic - Dec 13 - Phoenix

Like the guy said during the weigh-in (I think it was Ariel), perhaps something was agreed on behind the scenes. I'm sure he would've informed the UFC about the whole ordeal. He didn't seem effected by it at all when they said 160.6.

This beings up a question I have.. What is the most a fighter has missed weight by?

I've seen 8 pounds before. I think rampage was 7 over for the Bader fight.

Re: UFC on Fox - Dos Santos v. Miocic - Dec 13 - Phoenix

After a bit of time to think this over, I think Nate did this intentionally.

I think he's trying to get cut by the UFC so he can join Bellator, fight lower competition for more money. I wouldn't blame him.

Quick thought: What if the Diaz bros, Jake Shields, and maybe Gil all ventured into Bellator? They've all done a lot with Coker (besides Nate), so I'm pretty sure he'd be willing to splash the cash. I could see it happening.
