After over half a decade away from the cage, former UFC title challenger Nick Diaz will return to face Robbie Lawler in a rematch at UFC 266.
Reports circulated last week that Diaz, 37, was linked to a co-main event fight with Lawler, 39, at UFC 266 on September 25th. Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports has now revealed the fight is a done deal. It will be just the second time a non-title, non-main event fight has been scheduled for five-rounds after Nate Diaz vs. Leon Edwards first broke that feat at UFC 263.
