The leader of the Diaz army is back (hopefully).
Multiple sources confirmed to MMAmania.com today (Weds., Sept. 25, 2024), that Nick Diaz vs. Vicente Luque has been rescheduled for the final Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) pay-per-view (PPV) event of 2024, UFC 310, which goes down inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The pair of veteran welterweights were originally scheduled to throw down last month at UFC Abu Dhabi; however, Diaz pulled out of the fight due to travel issues, which made sense because Diaz and the Middle East would have probably never happened.
Diaz, 41, was last in action against Robbie Lawler at UFC 266, where he was stopped via TKO. The older brother of Nate Diaz has not won a fight since UFC 137 in 2011, where he beat down B.J. Penn. Diaz was also put on the shelf for years because of a dumb marijuana suspension.
Luque, 32, has not competed since Joaquin Buckley bludgeoned him in the co-main event of UFC Atlantic City (watch highlights). “The Silent Assassin” has lost three of his last five fights, two via finish.
UFC 310 does not currently have a main event and there are only two other announced matchups: Anthony Smith vs. Dominick Reyes and Virna Janiroba vs. Tatiana Suarez.
