While it’s entertaining to see fighters trade vitriol at each other (to an extent), it’s always a touching moment to see these combatants share genuine sportsmanship. And it’s a bigger bonus if it involves two of the sport’s legends like Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler.
The two respected veterans met again at UFC 266 two weekends ago, 17 years since their first encounter. But this time, the tables have turned, and it was the “Ruthless” one who got his hand raised via third-round TKO.
Lawler and Diaz were seen having a conversation right after, but the words they exchanged weren’t heard by anyone else.
