Nick Diaz vacates his Strikeforce Welterweight title

On a different note, White revealed that Strikeforce welterweight king Nick Diaz will vacate his title in order to challenge UFC champion Georges St. Pierre for his strap at UFC 137 in October. Henceforth, Diaz will be regarded as a UFC fighter, though he could return to Strikeforce at a hypothetical point in the future. As a result, two to-be-named Strikeforce contenders will battle later this year to decide a new 170-pound ace of the hexagonal cage.
