During Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker talked about wanting to match up welterweight champion Nick Diaz (22-7) against Jason “Mayhem” Miller (23-7) at a future event later this year.
Coker planned to put the two in the cage long before April’s brawl which took part at the “Strikeforce: Nashville” event which was broadcast live on CBS.
“I think ‘Mayhem’ versus Nick Diaz was a fight we were going to promote anyway,” Coker said. “It was just going to be a matter of time. So I think that fight will happen.”
Asked whether the next time we see Miller and Diaz will be against each other, Coker simply responded:
“I believe that fight will happen probably in the next eight months to a year.”
Diaz has won his last 7 bouts, having defeated Hayato Sakurai at DREAM.14 last month in a non-title bout in Japan. He defeated Marius Žaromskis last January in Miami to earn the Strikeforce welterweight title. His last loss was against K.J. Noons in 2007 for the vacant EliteXC lightweight title, a fight which he lost by TKO (cuts).
Miller, meanwhile, is 1-1 in his last two fights having defeated Tim Stout by TKO (punches) at the Nashville event. The loss came to current Strikeforce middleweight champ Jake Shields as both men fought for the vacant title in November at the Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers event. Shields earned a unanimous decision in that fight.
