There were rumblings that Nick Diaz may return to the Octagon for a long sought-after rematch with Robbie Lawler. That became a reality Tuesday evening as the fight became "a done deal"....well, sort of, as it hasn't officially been announced.
SportsBetting.ag set odds for the potential bout one week prior, and Diaz was listed as a +210 underdog against Lawler (-250). However, early action has come in on the future Hall of Famer, which moved the odds significantly.
Nick Diaz +145
Robbie Lawler -170
The above odds imply a 62.96% probability Lawler will emerge the victor, exacting revenge on the man who defeated him more than 17 years ago.
In their first bout, Lawler went off as a -260 favorite while Diaz had +220 odds.
Odds subject to change if not locked in here. And more action was anticipated now that the fight is officially going off.
UFC president Dana White additionally revealed to Yahoo! Sports that the fight will be a five-round contest taking place Sept. 25 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as part of the UFC 266 co-main event. Again, no official announcement by the UFC. MMA Junkie verified the Diaz vs. Lawler booking with multiple people close to the situation.
