“I believe the belt will be the next step. I saw that there are some conversations about a possible fight against Nate diaz. I'm sure those would be incredible numbers. They have been scheduled to fight before. It would be monstrous, which everyone would like to see. They could do it at welterweight (up to 77kg), without anyone cutting weight. Fun for the fans,” said Brown, in an interview with 'MyMMANews'.
Although he welcomes a super fight against the 'bad boy', who is in the last fight of his contract with the UFC, Brown understands that it is time for Poirier to try to consolidate himself even further in the division. For Mike, Charles of the Bronx should be the priority at the moment.
“Probably, the thing is to win the lightweight belt,” he said.
