Why would UFC matchmaker think this is one of those fights that need to be made?
I get the Diaz brothers have cache and get to assfuck the rankings and step in to take fights they dont deserve, but this really takes the cake. Its not a "money" fight. its not a fan fight that the public is clamoring for...I dont get it. Its not even a matchup fight where Diaz can be the one to derail Chamaev.
None of it makes sense.
What does make sense is Chamaev vs Masvidal or Covington, maybe even RDA and then he has to fight for the title. Usman is going to wipe down Covington again so I doubt he is going to want to fight Kazmat coming off another loss to Usman. Gamebred is fighting Edwards so really its only RDA.
Maybe thats why actually, when you really analyze it, Diaz is the only other fight for him in the near future besides RDA, who just pulled out of fighting him. Kazmat has taken a total of 3 significant strikes in his UFC career, none of which were real damaging strikes. How is Diaz supposed to have the strength to keep himself off the ground when Masvidal was able to take him down and abuse him.
