Ready or not, Khamzat Chimaev vs. Nate Diaz is headed to a pay-per-view screen near you.
On Monday, the UFC released the official promotion video for the welterweight UFC 279 headliner after airing it during the pay-per-view broadcast for this past Saturday’s UFC 278.
The fight is the last fight under Diaz’s UFC contract. He is looking at other options in boxing and jiu jitsu, as well as fight promotion.
Waiting to see Diaz exit the ring is one of his most difficult challenges. It’s a meeting with Chimaev. He has won five consecutive fights and is now in contention for the title. His recent victory over Gilbert Burns was the first time he beat him.
Diaz is as high as a +800 underdog to upset -1200 favorite Chimaev. The flashy promotional does an excellent job of highlighting their achievements.
UFC 279 will take place September 1_ in Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena. It airs live on ESPN+ pay-per-view.
