UFC : Nate Diaz Wants the UFC to Add 3 More Weight Classes

Following a brutal technical knockout at the hands of Josh Thomson at UFC on FOX 7 on Saturday, Nate Diaz is calling upon the UFC brass to add three more weight classes to the company.

Monday afternoon, Diaz tweeted that his plans of returning to welterweight (via MMA Fighting) would change if the UFC added a weight class in between lightweight (155 pounds) and 170 pounds.

I am adding to this.
As I watched Nate Diaz at the weigh ins. He was truly sucked up. Drained. You can see as he weighed 157 into that fight. He's a growing kid. So he was able to just make the 156 mark to make the weight.
He should've never fought this fight especially when his body is not reacting well to the weight cut. Josh Thompson who is always a 155 lb fighter was ready for this fight. Nate wasn't. Nate taking his second TKO loss of his career. Looks like he will be moving to 170 where he struggled in that division. I think now it's a better move for him in his career. The Diaz brothers are exciting fighters period and never have a boring fight. Hopefully Nate will regroup and look better than ever in the 170 lb weight class because we know Dana won't add a special weight class.
