Six Pounds No Problem for Diaz in First Round TKO of Markham

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – When Rory Markham tipped the scales at 177 pounds Friday for his WELTERWEIGHT bout with Nate Diaz, who was making his debut in the division, it was assumed that the former lightweight was going to have some difficulty dealing with the strength and power of the veteran knockout artist. But it was Diaz laying the hurt down on Markham Saturday at the Prudential Center as he scored a first round TKO win.
