Nate Diaz might not be ranked in the top ten, but he’s among the toughest fighters in the UFC, which is why Khamzat Chimaev agreed to fight him.
Khamzat knows a win over Diaz won’t inch him any closer to a title shot, but it will prove he is one of the baddest fighters in the sport and a certified gangster-slayer after he ‘f-cks that guy [Diaz] up’ at UFC 279.
Khamzat (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) claims he accepted the fight for fun and looks forward to making mincemeat of Diaz (20-13 MMA, 15-11 UFC) when the cage door closes on Sept.
