I was talking to someone today with in EliteXC and was told an interesting bit of information after doing some poking and prodding. After Nick Diaz and KJ Noons yesterday both fought and won and left without any serious injuries it is being proposed to ask KJ and Nick to fight as the co-main event at the next EliteXC on CBS show July 26. The card was confirmed yesterday with the announcement of the Scott Smith Vs Robbie Lawler rematch for the Middleweight title. Both fighters of course would have to agree to fight in less than 6 weeks of preparation. One obstacle would be that Nick Diaz was rumored to be fighting Hayato "Mach" Sakurai at Dream 5 for the Welterweight Championship. Which is coincidentally a scenario we asked Diaz earlier this week when we interviewed him."You recently said in a interview you would like to fight Shinya Aoki, if there is a injury in their LW tournament would you like to come in as an alternate?
I would absolutely jump in to fight Aoki but I think my next fight in Dream will be (Mach) Sakurai.
If you had a choice one month from now to fight in the Dream Tournament or fight for the EliteXC lightweight championship which would you do first?
My first loyalty right now is to EliteXC so that's where I would fight but a month from now I should be in Japan fighting in Dream. I've always liked fighting in Japan especially since they use a ring instead of a cage. "

I'm in the process of attempting to get confirmation on this and I will make my best attempt to get other confirmation on this. One official I contacted today did not give me any official word said he was not 100% sure because Nick was cut in his win. I will update this throughout the day and let you know if anything happens or I get any word from EliteXC.
