Nick Diaz returns to action at UFC 266 as he takes on a fellow veteran in Robbie Lawler. The elder Diaz brother has been out of action for six years now. Diaz vs Lawler will take place on the main card of UFC 266, which will feature not one, but two title fights.
Brian Ortega will fight champion Alexander Volkanovski for the featherweight title and also, Valentina Shevchenko will take on Lauren Murphy for the women’s flyweight title.
Lawler also shared his thoughts on the fight being a five-round contest, as opposed to the regular number of rounds. He said, “I feel good. It doesn’t really matter. But I think he is going to be in shape ready to go 25 minutes. That is just his makeup. He comes to fight, he likes to push the pace. He can go 25.”
