UFC accused of putting on "worst card of all time" for Nate Diaz's final fight

UFC fans believe the promotion is intentionally putting on the "worst card of all time" for Nate Diaz 's final fight.

Diaz fights out of his contract next month against unbeaten welterweight contender Khamzat Chimaev in the main event of UFC 279 on September 10. It's a tough fight for the UFC veteran Diaz, who only has one win in the past six years whilst Chimaev has won all five of his UFC appearances since being signed to the promotion two years ago.

It's less than a month away from the card and a co-main event is yet to be announced. Other than the main event between Diaz and Chimaev, there are a clear lack of contenders on the card. The quality of the event has led many fans to speculate the promotion are intentionally putting together a weak card given the fight is Diaz's last in the promotion.
