Nick DiazNick Diaz has been hospitalized with a very bad staff infection. According to GracieFighter.com he contracted the infection a couple of days before his EliteXC fight. He was admitted to a hospital in Las Vegas where he was to watch his brother's fight at UFC Fight Night 11. Diaz has been on an antibiotic IV since Tuesday.

"I felt pretty crappy in my match in Hawaii but I figured it was jet lag or maybe something I had eaten the night before. When I left Hawaii the next day I was getting chills and had to be covered with several blankets on the plane but I just kept having cold sweats. By the time I got to Vegas the infection had ballooned up and so I went to the hospital to have it checked out. They admitted me and I've been here ever since".
