Nick Diaz was scheduled to fight on the DREAM.3 show on May 11th, but from the sound of it no one told EliteXC with whom he’s under contract. Not surprisingly, Gary Shaw put the kibosh on “Shaggy’s” fight in Tokyo:

Nick Diaz won’t fight Sunday in Tokyo.

EliteXC promoter Gary Shaw phoned Diaz’s manager Cesar Gracie early Tuesday with the news that the league was killing the fighter’s appearance on the May 11 Dream card. Diaz will make his next scheduled contest versus Muhsin Corbbrey at 160 pounds June 14 on the Showtime-televised EliteXC card from Honolulu, Hawaii.

Representatives for Fight Entertainment Group, which expected to promote Diaz’s welterweight bout this weekend versus Katsuya Inoue, did not respond to requests for comment.

On Sunday, Gracie aimed to make it clear that his side was not to blame for the confusion that had two of MMA’s top promoters battling.

“We put these two organizations in contact with each other,” he said. “They were supposed to figure it out but there was some miscommunication somewhere.”
