Nick Diaz on Thursday sent his official Notice of Breach of Contract to EliteXC. The letter is an attempt that many fighters are making to free themselves from the shackles of EliteXC's sinking ship. The promotion's parent company, ProElite, Inc., is expected to file bankruptcy any day now.If the breach of contract doesn't go through, it is possible that the fighters under contract with EliteXC could get mired in the legal process when the bankruptcy court tries to find relief for ProElite's creditors.
Below is the letter that Diaz sent to EliteXC, as it was posted on his manager Cesar Gracie's website:
