DREAM 3: Nick Diaz vs. Inoue Katsuya on Again
Just a day after Nick Diaz’s camp announced that ProElite didn’t want Diaz to fight on this weekends DREAM 3 card for fear that he will not be able to compete on EliteXC’s June 14 fight card, Sherdog is reporting that the two promotions have worked things out.
According to ProElite CEO Doug DeLuca, Nick Diaz has been cleared to fight Inoue Katsuya at this weekends DREAM 3 card, which takes place at the Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
