Diaz was originally supposed to face St.Pierre but after not attending two press conferences, UFC President Dana White pulled Diaz and replaced him with Carlos Condit.
White announced a short time after that, Diaz would face Penn in the co-headliner.
White announced on Twitter earlier today that Penn-Diaz will be a three round main event.
