Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler are less than a week away from meeting inside the octagon at UFC 266. The matchup has been more than a decade in the making after the two initially fought back in 2004.

Diaz would win the entertaining bout by KO after hitting Lawler with a straight right that sent him wobbling to the canvas. The win was a big surprise as many favored Lawler and no one considered Nick Diaz a knockout artist.

Nick Diaz hasn't fought in over six years after he sat out for various reasons. At one point it was injuries, then negotiations with the UFC, then a weird suspension for marijuana threatened to keep him out for five years.
