DREAM.3: Nick Diaz vs Katsuya Inoue back on
May 8, 2008 by Michael Huckaby
As reported yesterday it looks as if Nick Diaz vs Katsuya Inoue is officially back on this weekend’s DREAM.3 card from Saitama Super Arena. Sherdog has the scoop.
Questions arose when Diaz was originally pulled off the card as he had apparently gained weight due to the belief he wasn’t fighting.
Diaz will spend his last few hours in the United States cutting weight before heading to Japan to face former King of Pancrase Katsuya Inoue in Dream.
“Tonight we will be pulling an all-nighter cutting weight,” Gracie said late Wednesday.
Unfortunate for Diaz and hopefully he’s at 100% for the weekend. And according to Cesar Gracie the man we have to thank is apparently ProElite CEO Doug DeLuca….
“He thought Nick sort of got screwed with the whole California Athletic Commission thing,”
We still don’t have all the details on that situation but one would assume he needn’t bring his questionable medical marijuana card to Japan.
I hope he wins, but if not, here come the excuses. And they will probably be legit. At this point i think he should have just passed on the fight, but he must feel reasonably confident.
He must have been eating that “real chocolate”!!! Diaz will win this one.
