Loretta Hunt is reporting that Nick Diaz and Thomas Denny will fight on July 26 on the next EliteXC-CBS Saturday Night Fights event.
Denny made his EliteXC debut at a ShoXC event earlier in the year when he won via disqualification against highly touted Malaipet. The bout agreement between Diaz and Denny put to rest the rumors of a Diaz rematch with KJ Noons on July 26.
Hunt also reports that the event will take place at the Stockton Arena in Stockton, CA as was earlier speculated.

This is disappointing.. I wanted to see Diaz vs Noons, and if that didnt go down, i would rather have the matchup with Sakurai. So we lost 2 good potential fights..
Diaz has to win this fight if he wants another shot at Noons any time soon..
Yeah, Diaz vs Denny isn’t that exciting at all. Would much rather have seen him stay in his DREAM.5 fight, but if the even is in Stockton I guess there is no way he can’t fight on the card
I saw Denny’s fight in Elite. I thought he could have continued after the blow to the back of his head. The guy seems scrappy but Diaz should win without much trouble.
