UFC officials announced the match-up on Tuesday.

Diaz (17-9) has been out of action since his TKO victory over Gray Maynard in November of last year due to contract disputes. Prior to that victory, Diaz, was on a two-fight losing skid with losses to Benson Henderson and Josh Thomson.

Dos Anjos (22-7) moved into number three on the UFC.com rankings after a knockout victory over Benson Henderson at UFC Fight Night 49 in August. He is riding a two-fight winning streak with his other victory being a TKO against Jason High at UFC Fight Night 42.

The Diaz vs. dos Anjos bout will serve as the co-main event on FOX.

UFC on FOX 13 takes place at the U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix, AZ on Dec. 13.  It is headlined by a heavyweight matchup featuring former champion Junior dos Santos and Stipe Miocic in a 5-round fight.
