A high-profile bout originally slated for UFC 262 will take place about a month later than originally anticipated.
According to a report from Yahoo Sports, Nate Diaz has suffered a minor injury that has resulted in the postponement of his welterweight clash against Leon Edwards. The five-round, non-title contest has been moved from UFC 262 on May 15 to UFC 263 on June 12.
UFC 263 takes place at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz., and is headlined by a middleweight championship tilt between Israel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori. In the co-main event, Deiveson Figueiredo will face Brandon Morena in a flyweight title rematch.
