Nick Diaz at UFC 65: Update

September 29th, 2006 | by Dr J

I reported earlier in the week that Nick Diaz would be fighting at UFC 65 in November. Well, it now looks like his previously unnamed opponent will be American Top Team fighter, Graison Tibau. Tibau is a BJJ specialist with an MMA record of 11-3.

I don’t have much information about Tibau. As is the case with most UFC newcomers, Tibau has spent is time in the smaller promotions and looks to make a good showing in his first UFC fight.
