“He will give up the title, he will give up his Strikeforce title,” White said. “He will come in and fight Georges St-Pierre, two guys will fight for the vacant belt in Strikeforce and we’ll go from there.”
White stated that Diaz could go back to Strikeforce at some point in the future if he chose, but for now he is strictly a UFC fighter.
No decisions have been made at this time regarding who will fight for the belt or when that fight will take place.
This moves makes plenty of sense to me. Nick Diaz is the representing figure for the Strikeforce Fighting Championship and has held onto his belt the longest inside the infant organization. Since the Zuffa purchased Strikeforce, the fans have been asking for 'superfights' among title holders in their respected divisions.
