Luque has repeatedly expressed interest in fighting Diaz throughout the past year, doing so again following a submission win over former champion Tyron Woodley in March.
Diaz, one of the UFC's most popular fighters, has lost two straight fights. In his last contest, the 36-year-old dropped a unanimous decision to Leon Edwards at UFC 263 in June, though he nearly pulled off a Hail Mary comeback during the final minute.
The No. 4-ranked Luque is one of the division's hottest fighters. The Brazilian is coming off a submission win over Michael Chiesa in August, and he's won four straight.
