The biggest names to do so were former UFC and Bellator lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez, and recent UFC interim lightweight title challenger Kevin Lee.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Monday&#8217;s edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2018\/1\/31\/16948272\/kevin-lee-explains-why-nate-diaz-should-fight-him-next-not-washed-up-eddie-alvarez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The MMA Hour<\/a>, Lee explained why he, not Alvarez, should be the man to welcome Diaz back to the cage.<\/p>\n<p id=\"xLisyx\">\u201cI see what Eddie\u2019s trying to do, but I think the man\u2019s just got it all wrong,\u201d Lee said. \u201cI think the fans, they don\u2019t want to see who\u2019s the biggest name against the biggest name. It\u2019s who\u2019s the best. So, if we\u2019re going from a sporting perspective, I gotta throw my hat in the ring versus Diaz. I think that\u2019s the fight to make. That\u2019s a fight that I\u2019ve been pushing for. That\u2019s a fight that I\u2019m going to talk my talk and I\u2019m going to keep going. But from every other perspective other than a fun fight, that\u2019s the fight to make.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"tFm5sE\">\u201cWhen you look at it, we\u2019ll just call it what it is. Diaz is coming off the loss to McGregor, who\u2019s the champ. I\u2019m coming off the loss to Tony. I mean, it just makes more sense from a sporting perspective to see, am I going to bounce back?\u201d Lee added. \u201cCall it what it is, I got tired versus Tony. Diaz is known for not getting tired. That\u2019s going to answer a lot of those questions, the tiredness, the mental warfare, all of that. It\u2019s going to answer all of the questions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"E3nutp\">\u201cIf you\u2019ve got Alvarez in there \u2014 the man\u2019s washed up. We all know that. The UFC brass, they know it. Alvarez is never going to be the champion again. He\u2019s never even going to sniff that title again. If they want to make me and Alvarez happen, I\u2019m cool with that too, but I\u2019m just looking at it from a fan perspective and seeing what I would want to see. I want to see the two guys who just challenged for the title, because I\u2019m going to be back in a title shot within the next year. And I think the UFC knows that, I think the fans know that, and I think that\u2019s what makes the most sense.<\/p>\n<p id=\"N7D43S\">\u201cThey know me, too: Me and Diaz, we\u2019re going to be talking that sh*t, so it\u2019s going to be even funner from that perspective,\u201d Lee added. \u201cBut, if I\u2019m speaking for Dana (White), I think he already knows what fight to make. I don\u2019t really have to tell him, he already knows. Even Alvarez is saying it\u2019s saying that it\u2019s Diaz\u2019s [call] and all of this. Like, Diaz really ain\u2019t got no clout. He just got clout just because everybody be dick-eating him. But the man, he don\u2019t fight like that. He don\u2019t fight enough to have enough respect, to have enough clout to really call his shots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you think a Kevin Lee vs. Nate Diaz fight is the fight to make?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 1\/31\/2018. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this month, fan favorite UFC lightweight Nate Diaz drove the MMA community into a crazed frenzy, asserting in a Instagram post that he planned to end his long hiatus, and return to the perilous Octagon this spring.
