Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz has on paper admitted his
role in a brawl following April’s “Strikeforce: Nashville” event,
according to his representative.
Diaz on Monday sent the Tennessee Athletic Commission a “consent order”
that will trigger a three-month suspension from professional
competition.
However, the fighter will not be licensed in time for a Strikeforce
event planned for Aug. 21 in which he was considered for a possible
eight-man middleweight tournament.
