Nate Diaz will take on Josh Neer on September 17 at UFC Fight Night 14 at the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska. The lightweight matchup was confirmed Wednesday by GracieFighter.com, the official website of Diaz's Cesar Gracie camp.
Diaz (9-2), the season five winner of The Ultimate Fighter, has competed at the past three UFC Fight Night events, tapping out all of his opponents with chokes. The most recent one was on April 2, when Diaz submitted Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Black Belt Kurt Pellegrino with a triangle choke.
Neer (23-6-1), a product of Miletich Fighting Systems, won a unanimous decision against Din Thomas at the last UFC Fight Night. The 25 years old out of Des Moines, Iowa will look to avoid suffering losses to both Diaz brothers. Neer succumbed to a kimura to Nick Diaz at UFC 62 in August 2006.
