Diaz wants to fight Anderson Silva
Although he has defeated notable middleweights Robbie Lawler, Frank Shamrock and Scott Smith, Diaz has no history of competing at 185 pounds.
If Nick wants Silva, he has got to earn that right. There are several fighters in the UFC middleweight division who already feel that they should be next in line for The Spider. One of those men is Ultimate Fighter winner Michael Bisping.

Bisping has an excellent UFC record of 13-4, and he feels that his UFC 152 victory over Brian Stann warrants his long-desired crack at the middleweight championship.
The long-standing issue with Bisping getting a fight for the belt has been his track record against elite competition. Holding a record of 1-2 against opponents ranked in the Top 10, a win over Diaz would get "The Count" over that hump that he has struggled with for so long.
Who holds the advantages in this fight? Both men throw a high volume of strikes, which leads to an accumulation of damage that cannot be ignored. Each man has more wins by TKO than any other method, and neither has been submitted in their careers.
