Newly minted welterweight Nate Diaz (12-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) will re-up with the UFC for four more fights.
The fighter's manager, Cesar Gracie, today told MMAjunkie.com that the new contract will be finalized today.
Additionally, Diaz is signed to face Marcus Davis on the first televised bout of Aug. 28's UFC 118 in Boston. TD Garden, the city's revered sports arena, hosts the pay-per-view event.
Diaz made his welterweight debut in March at UFC 111 and stopped Rory Markham by first-round TKO. The win took the sting off a disappointing decision loss two months prior to lightweight Gray Maynard at UFC Fight Night 20, a fight considered to be a title eliminator for a shot at then-champion B.J. Penn.
In the days following the fight, Diaz took to the Internet to grumble about the judges' decision and display the lack of damage he sustained in the fight.
Afterward, Diaz told MMAjunkie.com that he was tired of year-round dieting and wanted to try his hand in both weight classes.
Following his stint on "TUF 5," Diaz went on a tear in the 155-pound division with five-straight wins before falling short on points to top-tier competitors Clay Guida and Joe Stevenson.
Davis (17-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC), meanwhile, recently returned to the winner's circle at UFC 113 with a second-round TKO of Jonathan Goulet, which reversed a two-fight slide to former contender Dan Hardy and Ben Saunders.
Diaz will undoubtedly play the heel when he fights the "Irish Hand Grenade" in Beantown. Source: http://mmajunkie.com/news/19835/nate-di ... th-ufc.mma

Diaz definitely got screwed in the decision against Gray Maynard; Diaz definitely won that fight.
