While watching my stock tickers at 3:47 p.m. - it hit me. The UFC should run, not walk, to sign Nick Diaz, if only for a three-fight deal. With EliteXC out of business, Nick Diaz needs a place to fight, and there is a particular fight card that could make great use of Nick returning to the UFC.Imagine this: Ultimate Fight Night XXX, headlined by a rematch between Nick's younger brother Nate Diaz and Manny Gamburyan. The next headlining match? Karo Parisyan vs. Nick Diaz. It would be a total freakshow type of event, but the back story would ensure huge ratings.
If you recall, Nate beat Manny at the Ultimate Fighter Season 5 finale only because Manny injured his shoulder. Up until that point, Manny was clearly winning the bout. And during the season, Nate Diaz had a confrontation with Manny's cousin Karo which nearly escalated to blows. Plus, Karo already beat Nick at UFC 49.
So it would be the Diaz brothers vs. cousins Manny and Karo, a.k.a. Armenian Top Team. The UFC would have to be sure Nick stopped smoking the dope, but otherwise an event like this could draw huge ratings.
