Nick Diaz is officially set to end his six-year hiatus from MMA.
The former Strikeforce welterweight champion will face off against Robbie Lawler in a rematch 17 years in the making.
For anyone who doesn’t remember, Diaz and Lawler first squared off at UFC 47 in April 2004. The Stockton California native famously picked up a one-punch knockout win after two rounds of war.
Dana White revealed on Wednesday that Diaz and Lawler will rematch at UFC 266 on September 25. The fight will be only the second non-title, non-main event fight in UFC history to be set for five rounds. Nate Diaz was involved in the first when he went toe-to-toe with Leon Edwards at UFC 263 last month.

Nick Diaz is understandably the underdog ahead of his MMA comeback at UFC 266. The oddsmakers have him at +110 to return with a win in September.
The 37-year-old has been out of action for several years and for the large majority of that time he’s been living his best life in Las Vegas.
Even before his hiatus from the sport Diaz wasn’t at the peak of his powers.
Diaz is currently riding a three-fight losing streak. He was last seen in action against Anderson Silva at middleweight in 2015. Diaz suffered a unanimous decision defeat in that fight, but the result was later overturned due to a positive drug test from ‘The Spider’.
Prior to that, he lost against Georges St-Pierre and Carlos Condit in back-to-back fights. The fan favourite has not recorded a win since beating MMA legend, BJ Penn, at UFC 137 in 2011.
Lawler is backed by the bookmakers to emerge victorious against Diaz at UFC 266. If you fancy a bet on ‘Ruthless’, you’ll find him priced at -138 to get the win.
The former UFC welterweight champion is amid a run of poor form.
Lawler has lost four fights in a row and looks somewhat gun shy. The 39-year-old has fallen to consecutive losses against Colby Covington, Rafael dos Anjos, Ben Askren, and Neil Magny. He last recorded a win inside the Octagon against Donald Cerrone at UFC 214 in 2017.
Before we give our early prediction on Diaz vs. Lawler II, we just want to note that this is the perfect fight for both men.
The former champs are clearly on the downslide but still very capable of entertaining crowds if they are given the right fights – props to the UFC matchmakers for this one.
Ultimately, we will be betting on Lawler to emerge victorious as UFC 266.
The simple fact is he’s been active. We understand he hasn’t looked good but he’s been in the gym training for MMA fights and competing against the best in the world.
It’s just unfathomable that Diaz can take so much time off and come back and look anywhere near his best.
We expect a tentative start from both men before Lawler begins to find his range and get the better of the stand-up exchanges.
Both men are tough and will come in in great shape, so we expect this fight to go the full 25 minutes before ‘Ruthless’ gets his hand raised, snaps that four-fight skid, and avenges one of his most famous defeats.
Who do you think will win at UFC 266? Nick Diaz or Robbie Lawler?

[FIGHT CONFIRMATION PUBLISHED JULY 13, 2021, 11:00 PM]
Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports has reported Nick Diaz vs. Robbie Lawler 2 is now official for UFC 266 on September 25.
“DONE DEAL: Nick Diaz vs Robbie Lawler, five rounder, Sept. 25, UFC 266 per Dana White.”
ORIGINAL STORY:
It appears fight fans could be getting the long-awaited rematch between Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler.
There has been much talk about a return to action for Diaz. Back in 2020, footage appeared of Diaz, who looked to be in fighting shape. His manager, Kevin Mubenga, said Diaz did a test weight cut in order to see how his body would react. Mubenba noted that the Stockton native was planning a comeback in 2021.
In the months that followed, UFC President Dana White went back-and-forth on whether or not he was optimistic about Diaz following through on his return plans. Diaz’s team has insisted that he will be fighting again.
Aaron Bronsteter has taken to his Twitter account to reveal that White says Diaz vs. Lawler 2 is being worked on.
“BREAKING: Nick Diaz vs. Robbie Lawler IN THE WORKS (not yet official) as a co-main for an event in September per Dana White.”
Ariel Helwani followed up on this, reporting that Diaz vs. Lawler 2 is being discussed for the co-main event of UFC 266.
Back in April 2004, Diaz and Lawler did battle at UFC 47. Diaz scored a second-round knockout victory. Many argue that it was Diaz’s most memorable moment under the UFC banner.
In the years that followed, both men were able to win world titles. Diaz became the Strikeforce Welterweight Champion, while Lawler eventually captured the UFC Welterweight Title.
Diaz has not competed since January 2015 when he took on Anderson Silva. The fight initially resulted in a unanimous decision victory for Silva. That result was changed to a No Contest after “The Spider” tested positive for banned substances. Diaz was also banned by the NSAC for five years due to marijuana use but that sanction was quickly reduced following massive backlash from fans and media members.
As for Lawler, he hasn’t been in action since August 2020. He is on a four-fight skid. “Ruthless” hasn’t won a bout since July 2017.
