Nick Diaz last fought in 2015 against another legend in Anderson Silva. Prior to that, he kept an active stint and fought the likes of George St. Pierre and more. Though Diaz failed to claim wins in these important fights, he remained popular.
Right from the beginning, Diaz has been a fan favorite fighter, and throughout his career, he has remained active. Now, after 6 years out, he will look to claim a huge win over ‘Ruthless’ Robbie Lawler.
This fight doesn’t guarantee a title shot for either of the two fighters, as both men have been inactive and are past their primes. Nevertheless, entertainment value will be at an all-time high at UFC 266.
