Dana White scoffed at critics of the Nate Diaz and Khamzat Chimaev matchup.
In the final fight of his UFC deal and what is projected to be his last fight in the octagon, Diaz (20-13 MMA, 18-12 UFC) faces Chimaev (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) in the UFC 279 main event Sept. 10.
Oddsmakers have Diaz as a big underdog. The likes of welterweight title challenger Leon Edwards and ex-UFC fighter and current analyst Dan Hardy have criticized the promotion’s matchmaking, but White says both men have no idea what they’re talking about.
