Nate Diaz has traditionally been a rather difficult fighter to match make for since he broke into the mainstream. In fact, it seems like only massive stars like Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor are enticing enough for him to make a return. However, there’s no more denying Luque as a clear contender who can take over the welterweight division.

Nate Diaz isn’t ranked in the upper echelon of the division, however, he’s still a massive money fight for Luque. Furthermore, Nate Diaz will bring up an elevated level of exposure for Luque, something he really needs going forward.
