UFC 266 is upon us this Saturday, headlined by two title fights in featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski against Brian Ortega and Valentina Shevchenko putting her flyweight title on the line against Lauren Murphy. But the show-stealer here is a middleweight bout featuring a rematch from UFC 47, which took place in 2004, as Nick Diaz once again stands across the Octagon from Robbie Lawler.
The last Diaz-Lawler bout was a welterweight fight, though a lot has changed over the past 17 years. But Diaz spits as much venom as ever, and the trash-talking phenom is looking to knock out Lawler for a second straight time.
