Leon Edwards thinks the UFC aren’t doing Nate Diaz any favors by pitting him against Khamzat Chimaev in his final octagon appearance.
Diaz (20-13 MMA, 15-11 UFC) will finally get his wish of completing the last bout on his current UFC contract when he meets Chimaev (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) in the main event of UFC 279 on Sept. 10, which takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view.
Although Diaz openly campaigned for the fight if it meant an opportunity to test free agency, there’s a sentiment from at least some portion of the public that the matchup is illogical, or perhaps even unfair.
