UFC welterweight Vicente Luque doesn’t have any qualms about Khamzat Chimaev being the favorite to beat Nate Diaz in the upcoming UFC 279 PPV main event. But, that doesn’t mean he can’t see room for an upset. Although Khamzat Chimaev has a ton of momentum behind him, the ‘Silent Assassin’ thinks there’s room for the underog to pull off the win under the right conditions.
In an interview with Ag Fight, the Brazilian emphasized Nate’s extraordinary cardio and how he tends to battle his way back into fights as they progress. For that reason, the Brazilian believes Diaz could have a better chance to beat Chimaev in the later rounds of their five-round main event.
