    From Sherdog:

    “It was off, then on, then off again … now it’s back on,” said Diaz’s trainer, Cesar Gracie. “I won’t really believe it until he is on the plane tomorrow morning heading to Japan.”

    “Tonight we will be pulling an all-nighter cutting weight,” Gracie said late Wednesday. “Nick was under the impression he wasn’t fighting. So now we have to get the weight back down before he leaves.”

    EliteXC President Gary Shaw originally pulled Diaz from this weekend’s card because the contest was said to be too close to the June 14 EliteXC match between Diaz and Muhsin Corbbrey in Hawaii. Gracie stated that ProElite CEO Doug DeLuca was to thank for making the Diaz-Inoue bout happen.

    “He thought Nick sort of got screwed with the whole California Athletic Commission thing,” Gracie said, referencing the California commission’s removal of Diaz from a March matchup against Jae Suk Lim.”

    “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.”

    Apparently, EliteXC pulled Diaz from DREAM 3 when they realized how compacted his fight schedule would be given his approaching June 14 bout, an issue which the company was not willing to take a chance upon:

    “Having accepted a bout for Diaz, that was subsequently canceled on Dream’s April 29 offering, EliteXC’s concern stemmed from the proximity of the May 11 fights, set for live broadcast on HDNet, with the company’s June 14 offering headlined by a lightweight title bout between KJ Noons and Yves Edwards.”

    The motions which led up to the latest fight cancellation are a bit cloudy, but the bottom line remains that Nick Diaz has been pulled from competition yet again. Perhaps this time around the reasoning is a bit more legitimate, but it still spells nothing but aggravation for Diaz, who has not fought since November of 2007.
