Diaz-Maynard II replaces the originally intended main event of Demetrious Johnson vs. Joseph Benavidez, a flyweight title match which has been shifted to Dec. 14 in order to headline that show.
The fight, first reported on Sunday’s edition of FOX Sports Live, will be contested as a three-rounder as a concession to the limited preparation time remaining.
That move was necessitated by a knee injury to lightweight champ Anthony Pettis, who was forced out of a match with Josh Thomson.
