A report from HDNet states that Nick Diaz’s manager, Cesar Gracie has stated if Dana White does not offer Diaz a fight with Anderson Silva, the Strikeforce welterweight champ’s next fight will be a boxing match against Fernando Vargas.In fact, according to Gracie, Diaz has already signed the contract to fight Vargas.* Diaz does have great boxing for MMA. How it would translate to the boxing ring remains to be seen. Vargas is a 26-5 light middleweight with 22 KO’s.
Diaz says he doesn’t see much of a future in MMA for himself, and Gracie reveals the news of the boxing contract in this video preview of Inside MMA which will appear in its entirety Friday night at 9 p.m. ET on HDNet.
*Editor’s note: Say what you will, but when Gracie mentions Diaz has signed the boxing contract he scratches his nose — I know this sounds whacky, but in psychology that means he’s not telling the whole truth. Just sayin.
