UFC star Khazmat Chimaev has vowed to make his fight with Nate Diaz later this year "a funeral".
The Swedish fighter is ranked No.3 in the welterweight division, and is the highest-ranked fighter whom champion Kamaru Usman has yet to beat. He's coming off the back of a win over No.4 Gilbert Burns, but will put everything he's worked for on the line against Diaz at UFC 279 on September 10.
In fact, Diaz will be leaving the promotion no matter the result against Chimaev, who is being offered by as a completely unbackable 1/11 favourite with some bookies. The former lightweight title challenger has been begging for one last fight so he can leave the promotion and focus on other goals.
