Shortly after he booted Nick Diaz from a title fight with UFC
welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre, UFC president Dana White told
MMAjunkie.com that reporters would “flip out” if
they knew whom he was putting opposite B.J. Penn, whose original opponent
Carlos Condit was promoted to meet St-Pierre.
And considering the past 48 hours, White is not too far off the mark.
The UFC president today tweeted that Diaz has been
re-booked to meet Penn in the co-main event of
UFC 137, which takes place on Oct. 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center
in Las Vegas.
