The long wait for Nick Diaz to fight again is nearly over.
Following more than six years away from the sport. Diaz is currently targeted for a rematch against Robbie Lawler with the fight expected to serve as the co-main event at UFC 266 on Sept. 25 in Las Vegas.
Multiple people with knowledge of the possible booking confirmed the news to MMA Fighting after UFC President Dana White first revealed the potential matchup to TSN on Wednesday.
At this stage, verbal agreements are in place for the bout, but no contracts have been issued, so nothing is official until both fighters sign on the dotted line.
