The bout between Robbie Lawler and Nick Diaz will take place in the middleweight limit. Famous journalist and insider Ariel Helwani announced.
"The specific reason for this change has not been disclosed. The fight remains a five-round fight. Both fighters have experience in both the welterweight and middleweight divisions and have expressed a desire to lighten their weight competition," the journalist wrote.
Recall, the fight between Lawler and Diaz will take place on September 26 as part of the 266th UFC tournament.
