Wow......style wise it would be a pretty good fight since Nick will stand & bang the entire fight. Could he beat Anderson ? Hell no....but it would be an entertaining fight.

Nick would get led to slaughter and I say this as a really big fan of Diaz's fighting style.

Nick is not very fast nor is he very athletic, so he would try his punches in bunches combo like he always does to wear guys down. That would lead him to be eating Anderson's precise, laser counterstrikes all day and because Nick is so tough he would end up looking at the lights multiple times. Most guys don't hit as hard as Anderson does so the whole take one to give one strategy isn't that great of an idea. I would think that if this fight happens, it might end up like Leben status..

It would be exciting and it would be a ballet of violence but it would probably be a one-sided beating. It'd be great to watch for sure though but the UFC can't really justify this superfight as is. But with this also said, war Nick Diaz for having the guts to want to fight the very best.

Why does he deserve to leapfrog an entire division he has never competed in? It's not like he's a long time champ like GSP. He lost an interim title match to Carlos Condit. He should need a few wins at Middleweight before even sniffing a title shot. Give him Munoz, and Sonnen before a title shot.( He wouldnt beat either one)

Anderson is literally the worst matchup for him. No head movement/lateral movement plus no fear of takedown for Anderson = Diaz getting KO'd for the second time in his career.

he isn't asking for a title shot. He wants a catch weight fight against Silva.

Give it to him.

I'd love to see Anderson shut him up.

That would be such an awesome fight! I love the Diaz bros, they are funny and entertaining and pretty damn good fighters as well. While Nick won't stand a chance against Anderson, it'd be one hell of a fun fight to watch!

It still wouldn't shut him up. It'd be great to see him get KO'd though, and maybe Shields/Gil/Nate can jump Anderson after the fight! I'd still take Anderson though.
