Nick Diaz finally has an opponent.
The Strikeforce welterweight champion will fight on Jan. 29, as has long
been expected, but a much-anticipated bout with Jason “Mayhem” Miller
has been put on hold for now.
Instead, Diaz will defend his belt against Brazilian striker Evangelista
“Cyborg” Santos. The pair will server as the main event for
Strikeforce’s long rumored Jan. 29 event at the HP Pavilion in San Jose,
Calif.
