UFC Show Moved And Gets Big Main Event, Nick Diaz Update, UFC Fight Morning Weigh Ins

- UFC Fight Night 70 was originally slated to take place in Brazil next month, but the UFC announced that it will move to Hollywood, Florida instead. The show also got a big main event, however, as Lyoto Machida will take on Yoel Romero.

The show will take place on June 27, and will also feature Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson against Jake Ellenberger.

- Nick Diaz was originally on today's Nevada Athletic Commission agenda to answer to his positive test for marijuana metabolites after UFC 183, but officials delayed his disciplinary hearing. No date has been set as of yet.
