Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler are set to collide a second time tonight (Sat., Sept. 25, 2021) in a five-round, main card Middleweight clash from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, at UFC 266. It’s been 17 years since the first bout between these two martial arts legends, and a little over five years since Diaz last made the walk to the Octagon. Despite some last-second weigh-in shenanigans, there is major hype surrounding this match up, which promises to provide both action and nostalgia. After all, neither Diaz nor Lawler are known for boring fights, yet no one could really know what to expect from these veterans at this stage of their careers.
