UFC President Dana White has revealed that the promotion is working on a lightweight fight for Nate Diaz and that it won’t be against Tony Ferguson.
Rather, the promotion seems to be putting together a mysterious lightweight fight that could have great implications for both fighters involved.
“We’re working on a Nate Diaz fight right now (at) lightweight and it is not Tony, but if we get it done, I think you’re gonna like it. It would put him in a really good position if he won the fight and the guy who he could potentially be fighting, I think it’s a great fight for him too,” White told Oscar Willis in a recent interview (transcript via Bloody Elbow).
But who could it be against?
