Well Ive said it before so Ill just quote me "I want to see him fight Kenny Florian not only because I know he can beat Kenflo but because it would shut some of the doubters up, make the haters squirm and put him in the hunt for the title shot."

I think Nate and Clay Guida would be perfect right now. They are both looking at the same time frame, and if Nate can get past Clay that opens him up to the top guys in the division.
I agree, both are coming off wins on the same fight card...makes sense to headline the next Fight Night maybe.

There are quite a few fights I'd like to see.

a Guida Diaz fight seems to be the most rational move after their decisive wins. Would be interesting to see if nate could use those incredible judo throws he used so easily on neer to take the much more compact and much stronger guida down.

I dont think the UFC is going to set up a Guida Diaz match. Guida is coming off a win to a TUF winner and a fight with Diaz is not going to boost him up the rankings or get him closer to a title shot. There would be no reason for Clay to agree to this match.
Frankie Edgar is the only LW right now that would make sense since he doesnt have an upcoming fight right now that is not going to be a can for Diaz.

EEK Im a big fan of Nate but I think Frankie would beat him and to tell the truth Edgar deserves a shot at BJ ASAP.

based on the lw fights that have already been announced and committed to i would say huerta v diaz makes the most sense
that would be a great fight
on the same note i have to say i was thoroughly impressed with nate's performance against neer
i thought neer would overpower him and grind out a win but nate was scrappier than i thought him capable-he looked very well-rounded and technically tough
if he looks that good in his next fight (as long as its not a tuneup) than i would welcome him to the lw contender tourney (a club that boasts many members imo)
