For UFC welterweight Nick Diaz, the road to UFC gold got a little longer last night as the former Strikeforce champion dropped a close unanimous decision to Carlos Condit at UFC 143.
Condit, now the UFC’s interim welterweight champ, will be next in line for Georges St. Pierre as he continues to rehab following surgery.
Back to the drawing board, Diaz will have to put together another impressive run before he finally gets a shot at the champion.
Here are five fights Diaz should take to get himself back into title contention.
