Nick Diaz out against Lim....Fickett to step in
If true...this is very bad. Two of EliteXC's best fighters won't be part of Saturday's event. No Shields...No Nick Diaz.

After a tumultuous week of matchmaking for the upcoming Elite XC/Strikeforce co-promoted show, MMAWeekly.com has learned from sources close to the fight that Nick Diaz is out of his fight against Jae Suk Kim for undisclosed reasons.
Drew Fickett will now step in and face Kim instead as he was currently without a bout after Jake Shields dropped out of their bout due to injury.
The exit of Nick Diaz came suddenly after Elite XC had just released what was surely the final change to their upcoming Showtime card.
Jae Suk Kim will now face Drew Fickett in a fight that will take place at 170lbs and will be a part of the televised portion of the show.
MMAWeekly.com was unable to secure any further details as to why Diaz had to drop out of his bout, but we will follow up as more information becomes available.
