“If I had that option available to me, I would be honored to be in that position, and I would be gratefully accepting of that position or fight, if you will, with the 185-pound champion or the 155-pound champion,” Diaz said. “I would take either fight, and I think I could beat either guy to win a title at both weights.
“I’d like to be runner-up in the pound-for-pound rankings. That’s the No. 1 goal, aside from the No. 1 ranking in the welterweight division.”
“I look past every opponent to get to the No. 1 spot of the welterweight division, and I look further beyond that. If it were up to me, I would take that fight with Anderson Silva. I would say, ‘Yeah, of course.’ I’m looking for the next best thing, and the next best thing is always the closer fight to the No. 1 fight, and that’s what I’ve been working toward this whole time.”
