Nick Diaz‘s next fight won’t be against Jason “Mayhem” Miller after all.
Instead, the Strikeforce welterweight champion has agreed to defend his title against Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos on Jan. 29 in San Jose, Calif. Sources close to Strikeforce confirmed the booking with MMA Fighting early Wednesday morning.
The proposed Diaz vs. Miller fight couldn’t be agreed upon by both parties due to Diaz not willing to fight at 185 and Miller not willing to drop down to 170. Neither camp was able to agree on a suitable catchweight.
