Did anyone else notice that Cesar Gracie's GracieFighter.com post about the future of Nick Diaz was released to the public right around 4:20 Pacific time? I did, and I think that's around the same time the BBQ Anderson Silva will host for the king of Stockton will start. Anderson Silva fighting Nick Diaz is a match we've only begun to comprehend in select videogames, and even then the matchup is hard to book. This is like Hendo Vs. Fedor - never thought to happen, raises way more questions than answers, but it would still be friggin' awesome to see. Some people question a superfight's place in the sports world, I personally think we should see more of them, and I'm still waiting for Minowaman Vs. Brock Lesnar.

Anderson Silva's manager, Ed Soares, seems to like the idea of this magical match up as well. This is what he had to say about it on Twitter.

*UPDATE: CagePotato and Ed Soares are speaking on Twitter as we watch Michael Jackson popcorn .gif style. Our official stance at the site is: we want to see rawsomicity in our fights and Anderson Silva Vs. Nick Diaz would be flowing with it. Oh yeah, we're contacting Cesar Gracie in an exclusive interview. Hopefully he'll get back to us soon.

We're sure the mention of Nate, not Nick, was just Twitter's fault. Those interface developers need to step it up. Third party devs too.

This fight does not have to be for a title shot, its a win win situation for the UFC to make it happen. Diaz does not care about the belt as much as the fight and Silva aint no punk and would help teach him and become a better fighter win or loose through the fight. This fight is a rare treat some times non title match up like these can change the landscape of the fight game. Taking the Diaz fight will help the 185 lb division get settled . Its a good way to keep Anderson Silva active and a good way to let things settle while using the most merurially compelling fighters of our era.

I can guarantee that the Diaz vs Silva fight would generate 1.75 million ppv buys. Another reason why too and how it can become a win for the UFC.

This is a rare warriors fight! I believe and will support Nick Diaz for the win, he finished one legend BJ Penn, it's time for Anderson to face IMHO a younger stronger version of himself.

This won't be a war it will be a battle of the best. It will be legendary just host it in Japan or Maddison Square Garden.

Diaz doesn't care about the belt because he got screwed with that Carlos "The Natural Born Runner" Condit fight. I think he saw through some of politics and BS in MMA/UFC, which is why he semi-retired.

Brenta? really? what are you, 5?

When has Diaz fought a (skilled) guy with a longer reach than him?

Diaz's only hope is a sub. And Anderson won't let him get any sort of takedown.

Anderson T/KO rd 2.

the ufc will never make this fight happen. they can only lose this way. anderson is one of their most valuable fighters, while nick is only known to the ufc mainstream fans by not showing up. although i dont think the fight will happen, id love to see it. at least nick would bring the fight to anderson unlike okami, vitor, cotê etc

Forgot quotes over "Losing".

The majority of fans, and actual MMA fighters alike, had Diaz winning that fight.

Apparently useless half hearted leg checks and running away the whole fight can still get you a W on points, Octagon Control and Aggression be damned.

Not only is this fight not going to happen, it doesn't even make sense to try and make it happen. I like a hypothetical match-up as much as the next guy, especially when it's a superfight, but this doesn't make sense. The MW division is staked with contenders that need to be sorted out and then face Silva one by one. There's at least a couple solid contenders that would give a descent fight and bring in solid PPV numbers. Silva will need quite some time after his fight with Sonnen, he always takes his time and only has a couple fights a year. To match him up with another great fighter from another division would, in my eyes, skew his status as the greatest MW since he's not facing the top contenders at that weight. I think this is all his management stirring talk so that they can get more leverage, more money, and get Andy some good, but safe, fights that pay big and let him win easily.

The Spider would love this fight, smaller guy with no takedowns who keeps coming forward with punches vs arguably the greatest MMA counter puncher of all time.

I would buy this and bet on Nick in a heartbeat.

Would be worth the money for the pre-fight pressers alone.

Yeah yeah yeah, but just 1 thing, Nicks punches are hard to counter, i mean AS prob beats Nick even without a single counter.
But i dont know i just want to see Nicks boxing style vs AS, who knows it might work.

In a fantasy world this would be an awesome fight.

1. Silva constantly faces guys afraid to bring it to him(except Sonnen) and we ALL know Nick comes forward always. The diff between Nick and Chael is that Nick comes forward with technique not just head down, take down.

2. Nick has a granite chin and may be one of the few guys who could take a barrage from the Spier.

3. Who wouldnt want to see Nick calling Silva a bitch with his hands out while the Spider dances around and does his shuffle?

it would be entertaining till the end

Don't bite the fucking bait here assholes, clearly Nick is looking for one last big pay day.

If you guys think Nick would/could actually win you might as well attach your mouth to his balls and start humming.

He couldn't beat Carlos Condit because Carlos was "running", so how the fuck is he gonna keep up with the Spider?

All I see is a beaten up Nick Diaz crying claiming "bullshit", because that's what pussies do, make excuses, quit, and talk shit after they lose.

I am not of fan of Nick at all, but I am fan of Nick's fights as he always brings it and I'm always hoping that whoever he's fighting knock's his ass out. I think Silva could do with ease and I'd pay to see it happen (though I totally agree that Nick doesn't deserve the fight and is just calling Silva out for the pay day).

Nick called out Anderson? any twitter captcha? or smth like that?
Honestly i think Nick didnt think of a comeback yet, Ed just fabricated this stuff, knowing that Nick wont back down, but i dont care i want Nick to get mad at this and taking this fight.

God i think i just jizzed in my pants( i know the joke is old BUT I DONT CARE)

Anderson Calling on GSP but GSP is great at in his division and his size. To me calling on GSP sounds little bit picky or coward. If you willing to challenge someone, do it like BJPenn, Nick Diaz and Franky Edgar--fight with your own size or bigger guy. You fought at 205ers with Forrest and Irvin and won with dominant fashion...How is it suddenly became LHWs are too big for you and calling on smaller guy....Like your talent and skills but strongly disagree calling on much smaller guy...period.

Silva trying to stay relevant. He knows he'll never get another huge payday without his opponent selling the fight. The MW champ is making too much money and now he's just a prima dona cunt.

Why does this fight make sense?

Because Nick brings it... entertaining, will strike and go to the ground, will be able to take a few shots...

It's a win win in my opinion... DANA PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Nick will come to fight and not win a point contest. Exactly what Anderson wants to challenge him. Gsp would try to outpoint him, so would Jones...

How many times has Nick actually been finished? That's right... another reason why this is a great match...

Who cares about the title and who's in the pecking order. This is entertainment at it's finest waiting to happen
