Diaz will make his UFC debut in a light heavyweight matchup against Zhang Minyang at UFC Macau on November 23, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS Diaz is far from your typical debuting fighter in terms of MMA experience. He's been on Contender Series -- where he lost to surging prospect Joe Pyfer -- and also has experience fighting under the banners of both Bellator, and most recently, LFA. Counting out the contender series loss, Diaz has a finish within the first two rounds in each of his previous seven fights. He now turns to Mingyang, another newer fighter who collected a first-round stoppage against Brendson Ribeiro last February.
