UFC 279 Chimaev vs Diaz Fight Preview
Chimaev will enter the Las Vegas Octagon as one of the world’s rising stars in the UFC space.
With an unbeaten record, Chimaev now gets the chance to headline an event.
Diaz presents a very intriguing opponent in what may be Chimaev’s first 5-round fight.
Diaz can be a spoiler though, as he famously proved against Conor McGregor in UFC 196.
The experienced and versatile fighter has the potential to cause trouble, but defeats in his last 2 fights and his opponent’s trajectory make us think Chimaev will complete the perfect dozen.
