Nick Diaz hasn’t fought in six years but, tonight, he makes his return to the Octagon. There are other major fights on UFC 266. Featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski faces off against jiu jitsu savant Brian Ortega and we get another chance to see the unbeatable Valentina Shevchenko perform — but you can guarantee all eyes will be on Nick Diaz this weekend as he makes his return to the octagon. Nick Diaz hasn’t competed since fighting Anderson Silva at UFC 183 in 2015. In the time since, his brother Nate Diaz carved out his own legend, defeating Conor McGregor and becoming one of MMA’s biggest stars in the process. But Nick Diaz was historically the more famous of the two. His comeback is huge news. And the matchmaking for his return is sublime. At UFC 266, Nick Diaz is fighting fellow legend Robbie Lawler. This one’s a long awaited rematch.
