UFC 266 to feature title defences for Alex Volkanovski and Valentina Shevchenko

UFC 266 is scheduled to go down on September 25 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Yesterday it was announced that the card would include the much anticipated return of Nick Diaz, who will face former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler in a five round contest.

Yesterday ESPN announced that UFC 266 would also feature a pair of title fights. The first, which is expected to headline the event, is the rescheduled UFC featherweight title bout between champion Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega.

The second title bout sees dominant UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko taking on Lauren Murphy.
