Nate Diaz vs Rich Clementi

With nate's choke out of Pellegrino, he obviously moved up a notch in the rankings. I personally would love to see this fight because I love the jiu jitsu game. Who do you guys see taking this fight and by what means?

yea i picture it like this, basically similar to the pellegrino fight--

nate gets taken down and eats a few punches from the bottom. Clementi unsuccessfully attempts to pass guard while peppering diaz with punches until the end of the round.

Round 2 starts, Diaz lights clementi up on the feet and clementi takes him down, gets sloppy, and gets caught in a choke...

DAMN i want this fight to go down!!!!

Yeah, Nate by sub. I want to see this fight for two reasons:

1. Nate keeps asking for better competition, and like they said at UFC 84, Clementi is that valuable gatekeeper type of guy that most elite fighters will beat, but he will still weed out any pretenders. It Nate handles him easily that's another important step up the ladder.

2. Rich has won what 4 fights in a row? He deserves a step up in competition, Nate is perfect, an up-and- coming contender who is tough as nails with great BJJ.

honestly i dont see this a worthy fight to be in the dream fights section. but i think nate would submit clementi in the third round. most people are saying 2nd round, but rich has been working on his ground game and improving. not good enuf to hang with diaz tho.
