A grudge match between Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz and middleweight Jason “Mayhem” Miller is not likely for this year, according to Diaz’s manager.
Diaz is going to fight at an event planned for Oct. 9 currently dubbed “Strikeforce: San Jose.” But he will compete welterweight, and Miller is not his opponent.
Instead, recent winner K.J. Noons, who defeated Diaz nearly three years ago for the EliteXC lightweight title, is expected to get a shot at belt.
