Dana White has insisted a fight between Nate Diaz and Khamzat Chimaev is the fight that UFC fans want to see.
Diaz was searching for an opponent for several months as he awaited a test for the final outing on his UFC contract. Several opponents were talked up by the American including Dustin Poirier and Vicente Luque but a fight failed to materialise.
However after making an emotional plea to be released from his deal, UFC president White found Diaz a fight with rising star Chimaev which will take place on September 10 at the T-Mobile Arena. The likes of UFC contender Leon Edwards and former fighter Dan Hardy have expressed their views against the match-up, which also concerned fans who claimed Chimaev could "kill" Diaz.
