Nick Diaz is about to return to the ring in September this year, at UFC 226, according to a source ESPN. UFC 266 will take place at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
During this upper station, the opponent of Nick Diaz was former Welterweight UFC Robbie Lawler. Two people encountered at UFC 47 17 years ago, Nick Diaz lowered Knockout Lawler.
It is expected that Nick Diaz vs Robbie Lawler 2 will be a 5 -round Co -Main match – the next exception for a non -belt match, not leading the event but still lasts 5 rounds, after the Nate Diaz vs Leon Edwards at UFC June 263.
Up to now, Robbie Lawler has not signed a rematch. However, the sources expect Lawler to soon sign his contract.
In his final match at UFC 183, Nick Diaz confcends the “Spider” Legend of Anderson Silva, losing the consensus point but was later canceled by the prohibited Silva. After that, Nick Diaz was suspended for 5 years (before being reduced to 18 months) because he was discovered twice the use of marijuana before the match.
The chain of the Diaz brother in UFC is not really successful – he won 1, lost 2, before the monuments like Georges St -Pierre and Carlos Condit. However, it is undeniable that with the fierce “blood -selling” style, and the attitude of entertainment is very entertainment, Nick Diaz has even more fans than many UFC champions.
