Word surfaced yesterday that Nick Diaz had agreed to a long-term contract extension with EliteXC.
Reports are that Diaz has signed an exclusive contract with EliteXC that will extend his current contract through 2009. Diaz will fight between three and five times a year over the length of the contract with his next fight coming on November 10 in Texas.
Diaz’s next fight will be for the EliteXC 160lb title which we can assume will be labeled as their lightweight title. My guess is EliteXC has decided on the 160lb weight limit instead of the standard 155lb limit to fit Diaz into the title picture. Diaz has wins at 160lbs over Takanori Gomi and most recently Mike Aina.
