Former undisputed UFC welterweight title challenger, Nick Diaz has admitted that he was unprepared for his Octagon comeback at UFC 266 back in September 2021, claiming he knew a loss to former division champion, Robbie Lawler was on the cards in their rematch.
Diaz, a former undisputed WEC and Strikeforce titleholder, snapped his six-year Octagon hiatus back in 2021 in a middleweight rematch with former welterweight champion, Lawler, suffering a third round TKO loss due to retirement in their main card matchup.
The return came as Stockton native, Diaz’s first Octagon walk since headlining UFC 183 back in January 2015 in an eventual official ‘No Contest’ against former undisputed middleweight champion, Anderson Silva.
