UFC News: Huge rematch in the works
UFC president Dana White tweeted on Tuesday that Carlos Condit has accepted a rematch proposal to face Nick Diaz following a controversial decision at UFC 143. White told MMAFighting.com that he has yet to set a date for the fight. [Thanks to Dot Net Member Rich Conner] Powell's POV: I can't believe Diaz didn't stand by his retirement talk. Yes, that's sarcasm. That said, I enjoyed their fight on Saturday and look forward to the rematch. I had Diaz winning 48-47, but I would have accepted Condit winning by the same score. However, I was shaking my head over two of the judges scoring the fight 49-46 in favor of Condit, and apparently I'm not alone. It will be interesting to see whether UFC puts the rematch on pay-per-view or decides to headline a FOX show with it. By the way, I give Condit a lot of credit for agreeing to a rematch when he could have declined in favor of a title match with Georges St-Pierre instead.

Should be a good rematch

Last I read this morning was that Diaz's camp didn't want a rematch. I'm sure their just holding out trying to get a bigger pay day.

They said it was in the works lets hope should be a good rematch and im sure he is holding out for a bigger payday

Well it's definitely off now. Diaz tested positive for marijuana after Saturdays fight.

ty for telling us.it would of been a good rematch

When is the next UFC on FOX?

Middleweight contenders agree to May 5 bout

A middleweight contest between contenders Alan Belcher and Rousimar Palhares is official for UFC on Fox 3.

UFC president Dana White confirmed the matchup on Monday.

Belcher last competed at UFC Fight Night 25 against Jason MacDonald, defeating the submission specialist with a first-round submission due to strikes. The victory was his third in a row after defeating Patrick Cote and Wilson Gouveia in his two contests prior to his most recent win.

Like Belcher, Palhares is currently on a nice winning streak, having won three straight as well. His streak began against Dave Branch last March and continued with a victory over Dan Miller at UFC 134. His last contest ended with a first-round submission victory against Mike Massenzio at UFC 142.

UFC on Fox 3 is set for the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J., on May 5 and features a lightweight main event between contenders Nate Diaz and Jim Miller.
