Dana White believes Nate Diaz fighting Khamzat Chimaev wouldn't have gone well for him
Khamzat Chimaev barely broke a sweat as he steamrolled Kevin Holland en route to a first-round submission win at UFC 279. Having seen an impressive display of domination and power from 'Borz', Dana White believes that a fight against Nate Diaz may have gone worse for the Stockton fighter.
During the same episode of The Action Junkeez podcast, the UFC president weigned in on how a potential bout between Diaz and Chimaev would have played out.
"After you watch the fight, you realize Khamzat vs. Nate Diaz would have been f***ing-- That wouldn’t have been good. Khamzat, I know the fans got pissed at him for not making weight and everything else, but Jesus f***ing Christ. What he went out and did to Kevin Holland. Did you see Kevin Holland post the picture the other day that his eyes were all red from the f***ing choke? I mean, holy s**t."
Watch Dana White discuss Khamzat Chimaev vs. Nate Diaz below:
Khamzat Chimaev was originally scheduled to take on Nate Diaz in a main event welterweight clash at UFC 279 earlier this month. However, the Chechen-born Swede came in heavy, hitting the scales at 178.5 pounds. Due to this, Chimaev ended up facing Holland in a 180-pound catchweight bout in the co-headliner of the same card.
Many believe that the Stockton fighter would've suffered a similar fate as Holland if he had fought Chimaev instead of Tony Ferguson that night.
