Leon Edwards vs. Nate Diaz pushed from May 15th to UFC 263 in June

The UFC’s next pay-per-view will have one less marquee fight. Nate Diaz suffered a minor injury in training and won’t be ready for his scheduled bout with Leon Edwards at UFC 262 on May 15th. The setback was not serious enough to scrap the fight entirely, as the two will square off at UFC 263 on June 12th in Glendale, Arizona. Diaz and Edwards were to occupy the co-main event slot for May’s event at the Toyota Center in Houston for a rare five-round non-title match. With two title fights already slotted for UFC 263, the Diaz fight will likely be moved to the third headliner.
