How is Huerta, or even Guida, a more "proven LW", than Diaz? He is 5-0 in the UFC - neither Huerta nor Guida have beaten anyone of higher competition than he has. I believe they are right on the same level. Don't get me wrong, I would like to see him fight one of them to open more doors for either winner, but I don't believe that either of their stock is of any more value than his.

Tyson Griffin v Nate Diaz sounds sweet.

The consensus seems to be Guida, and I do like the idea of that fight. However, I really want to see him and J-Lau go at it. That is guaranteed to be top 5 fight of the year candidate. Those two are always looking for the finish, and they both set a furious pace. That fight is the best potential matchup for the fans.

Actually, Lauzon [v] Diaz sounds awesome. Both coming off wins and I remember Diaz wanted to fight Lauzon on TUF 5 show.

Huerta was a win away from a possible title shot so obviously he was a more proven fighter. Huerta has only lost once and that was to Kenflo. Seriously, when is Diaz gonna fight a proven UFC fighter?

Do you not consider Hermes Franca, Kurt Pelligrino, and Josh Neer proven UFC fighters?

I, honestly, just want to see him lose all ready. I don't like his lame cockiness nor his lame fights...sorry if this bothers Diaz fans, but I don't like Nick either.

well he's already been tested against a wrestler in gray maynard, albeit when they were on tuf.

this may be a bit early for him, but perhaps nate vs the winner of sherk/griffin? the neer fight served to put nate against tough guys and let him grow as a fighter.

And people think he should fight for the title, did you forget who has the title. BJ PENN!!! the guy that fights at LHW and still split's with Lyoto. Yeah, give him a fight with BJ, make it right before the fight with GSP, so Penn can get a good warm up, cause thats all it would be.
SECOND time...I've seen them refered to as redneck/white trash. And they're NOT, haha. Please stop that. Brown neck, maybe - But even that's not appropriate, Jesus. They're from Stockton! California, man.
