The Diaz brothers are becoming quite familiar with five-round co-main events.
The rematch between Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler, which was previously reported as being in the works, is now official for Sept. 25 as the five-round co-main event of UFC 266. MMA Fighting confirmed the news with UFC officials following an initial report by Yahoo Sports.
Diaz’s younger brother, Nate Diaz, made history earlier this year at UFC 263 when he competed in the first five-round, non-title co-main event ever held on a UFC pay-per-view with his decision loss to Leon Edwards.
