UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz (March 16th)

[Headliner]

I will say however if throwing the book at him means giving him the Condit rematch (or at worst a fight with Kampmann) and having him main or co-main a pay-per-view), then yea I imagine Dana is going to throw the book at him.

lol
That's pretty much what I think as well.
He's goint to mainevent/co mainevent, I just think he's going to get some unfavourable matchups, like wrestlers, with the hope that they can take him down and they can get rid of him.

Diaz controls his destiny though. If he wins, he stays around.
I just personally think Dana is going to throw guys with good wrestling backgrounds like Hendrix and Rory at him.

It sounds like you just dislike Diaz and want Dana to hate him as much as you do. Dana just made a ton of money thanks to Diaz. No way in hell does he want to let that promotion ability that Diaz has go to another org.

I don't hate Diaz. I think he's as smart as an 8th grader and a knob, but I like watching his fights.

Dana didn't make a ton of money off DIaz. He made a ton of money off GSP. Diaz has headlined two cards against big names in Condit and Penn, and brought in 280 and 400 in buy rates. Lets not delude ourselves here.

Except this card did over 1 million buys. So yes, money was made thanks to Diaz and his natural ability to hype a fight. Outside of Chael, nobody in this business can hype up a fight like Nick.

Except Chael does it on purpose.
