MMA Fighting broke the news that take two of UFC 196's PPV-smash hit was close to being finalised for UFC 202 on August 20 in Las Vegas, during UFC 199's preliminary card.
The negotiations for the second fight have been dragging for a while now and it was thought that Diaz had been holding up proceedings after Dana White revealed his meeting with the Stockton native in his stomping ground didn't exactly go to plan.
Seemingly, they managed to work things out as the UFC confirmed the rematch would be going down at UFC 202 during UFC 199's main card.
