Bloody Elbow presents its fight night and post-fight coverage for UFC 266, which goes down on Saturday, September 25th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event is a men’s featherweight title fight between reigning champion Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega.

The co-main event is a women’s flyweight title rematch between champion Valentina Shevchenko and first-time title challenger Lauren Murphy. Also of note is the return of Nick Diaz, who will rematch former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler in a five-round middleweight bout. It’s Diaz’s first fight since way back in 2015 when he lost a decision (later flipped to a no-contest) to Anderson Silva.
