Khamzat Chimaev is willing to fight at any weight with Nate Diaz providing his rival shows up to their UFC meeting.
Chimaev and Diaz are set to meet in the octagon on September 11 at the T-Mobile Aren a in Las Vegas, with Diaz finally finding an opponent for the final fight on his UFC contract. The Chechen star is considered the overwhelming favourite for the fight, having continued his surging rise with victory over Gilbert Burns last time out.
Many people have warned Diaz that he could face an extreme uphill battle to gain any victory against Chimaev, who is currently ranked in third position at 170lb. However Chimaev has admitted he is excited for the fight with Diaz still capable of posing danger to his undefeated streak. “I still don’t believe that guy’s going to come and show up,” Chimaev admitted when discussing the fight on The MMA Hour .
