Nick Diaz and Demian Maia are two of many contenders in the UFC’s welterweight division.
Diaz is coming off a decision loss to UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre at UFC 158, and Maia is undefeated in the weight class with three straight wins.
This is not a fight that is signed, but would potentially be a marquee bout should it happen.
Diaz has talked about retiring unless he gets a rematch against GSP or a middleweight bout against Anderson Silva.
Those fights are unlikely to occur right now.
For Maia, this would be a fight that could make him the next challenger for the championship. Stylistically, it is an intriguing fight that many fight fans would love to see.
Let’s have a look at a breakdown for this potential welterweight clash.
