The terms are good for the Stockton native:
Diaz will fight next on Nov. 10 in Corpus Christi, Texas in an EliteXC 160-pound title fight.
Both EliteXC vice president Jared Shaw and Diaz's manager Cesar Gracie (Pictures) declined to comment on the 24-year-old Stockton, Calif.'s opponent, though Sherdog.com was told it is a fighter currently signed to EliteXC.
The new contract guarantees Diaz three to five fights a year in 2008 and 2009, Gracie said.
"It's a lot more than he was making before obviously and it's a lot closer to what he's worth," Gracie told Sherdog.com. "People want to see him fight.
"Showtime stepped up and met the financial commitments."
