Start getting pumped because for the second time, the UFC will offer a championship fight on network television as Metal Mulisha fighter Nate Diaz (16-7) will take on Benson Henderson (17-2) for the lightweight belt in the UFC main event December 8, 2012 on FOX 5.
Nate earned his shot at the title at UFC on FOX 3 earlier this year, submitting Jim Miller in the second round. Diaz was claimed the number 1 contender after the win and had the option of taking another fight in the interim or waiting for his title shot, he opted to wait and it was obviously the right choice as he will be the first fighter to headline a FOX twice. “I train with guys just like that. Athletic guys, strong guys. It’s definitely gonna be a good, hard fight. It’s time to fight for a title. I’m gonna do what I could to win that belt because that belt gives me…I’m trying to do it for my team and f**k the belt, I’m tryin’ to beat the number one guy in the world and that’s him right now.”
