UFC 266 was headlined by a showdown between two tremendously skilled, elite fighters in featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and the endlessly dangerous and tough challenger, Brian Ortega. It also featured an appearance by Valentina Shevchenko, either the greatest or second greatest female fighter we've seen yet. Despite this, the bout that excited and intrigued fans the most was the rematch between Robbie Lawler and Nick Diaz.
