OMAHA, Neb. -- Nathan Diaz and Josh Neer are set to squabble for the chance to ascend another rung on the very tall UFC lightweight ladder. Both men made the 155-pound weight limit Tuesday, setting the stage for tomorrow night’s showdown at the Omaha Civic Auditorium.

Mac Danzig and Clay Guida also tipped the scales right at the 155-pound allotment and will square off in another highly anticipated lightweight matchup.

The televised portion of the card is rounded out with a middleweight tussle between Ed Herman and Alan Belcher as well as a light heavyweight bout pitting hometown favorite Houston Alexander against Eric Schafer.
