More Fantasy News
Santos up next
Diaz will fight Djorden Santos at UFC 313 on March 8, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Diaz is coming off a poor showing during his UFC debut, which resulted in a swift defeat at the hands of Zhang Mingyang. Diaz will have four inches of height and 3.5 inches of reach working in his favor against Santos, though his opponent has not lost a professional fight since 2019.

Quickly finished in UFC debut
Diaz lost to Zhang Mingyang via TKO (strikes) at 2:25 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
Diaz has major power and significant durability issues. That's what happens when every single fight you are in is a car crash and ends almost instantly. Diaz was nearly doubled up in significant strikes by Zhang (17-9) and finished when a low kick, elbow combination found its mark. A former competitor in both LFA and Bellator, Diaz was also knocked out in his lone appearance on Dana White's Contender Series, although that came against a high-end opponent in Joe Pyfer. Diaz, already 34 years of age, would appear to be on an extremely short leash.

To debut in Macau
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.
