UFC Fight Tonight: Will Nate Diaz end his UFC career on a winning note against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 278?
Nate Diaz has provided fans with numerous memorable moments throughout his UFC career. However, the Stockton native hasn't found much success inside the octagon in recent years. His last win came over three years ago against Anthony Pettis via unanimous decision.
Diaz will compete in the last fight on his UFC contract this Saturday. The odds are heavily stacked against the Stockton fighter as he takes on the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev.
Chimaev will enter the bout as a colossal betting favorite and is deemed the worst stylistic matchup for the MMA veteran. Many believe that the Chechen-born Swede will dominate the fan-favorite Diaz en route to a finish. While Diaz is known for his remarkable toughness and can certainly pull off an upset, 'Borz' just seems too strong heading in to the UFC Fight Tonight on September 10.
