Nick Diaz will return to the octagon for the first time in almost six years on September 25th. He fights Robbie Lawler in the main event of the pay-per-view bill at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. He last competed in the octagon against Anderson Silva in 2015 at UFC 183. Diaz, a welterweight, appeared slightly undersized when fighting at Silva’s natural 185 pounds. Diaz was defeated by a judge’s decision, but he provided UFC fans with some of the most unforgettable taunts of all time.

However, this time around Nick won’t have any support of his girlfriend back at home or at ringside.
