Video: 17 years later, what can we even expect from the Nick Diaz-Robbie Lawler rematch?
Nick Diaz is coming back next month, and the numbers behind his return are pretty bonkers.
Diaz hasn’t fought since January 2015. He hasn’t won a fight since October 2011. And he’s fighting a rematch against someone he first fought in April 2004.
Diaz (26-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) fights former welterweight champion Robbie Lawler (28-15 MMA, 13-9 UFC) at UFC 266 in September. They first fought at UFC 47 in Las Vegas, where Diaz knocked Lawler out in the second round.
But given Diaz’s long time away, and Lawler’s recent struggles – he hasn’t won a fight in more than four years – what are we supposed to expect from the five-round rematch?
Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Nolan King, George Garcia, Mike Bohn and host John Morgan discussed that topic on this week’s episode.
