In the lead-up to their rematch at UFC 266, Diaz was vocal that he didn’t know why he was fighting or why this was the fight. It was troubling comments and he echoed that after the fight as well.
“All the people around me and all the money and the sponsors, they won’t let me get away from fighting,” Diaz said to ESPN before the rematch with Lawler. “There’s things I could do, but that’s not gonna work out. I might as well just go and take my punches. … I don’t want to look back and say, ‘Why did I not just do it?’ I don’t feel great. I feel great to fight. I don’t feel great about everything [else]. If I don’t do this, I don’t know how I’m going to feel about myself.”
In their fight, Diaz came out aggressive but there was not much power behind the punches. In the third round, Lawler landed a big shot that appeared to break Diaz’s nose and he went to a knee and didn’t get up and the fight was called.
