Nate Diaz continues to blow up Khamzat Chimaev following UFC 319.
Chimaev received the UFC Middleweight Championship due to a blown resolution victory over Chicago’s Doricus Duplesis. Du Plessis had no reply to “Borz” efforts, so the match was not aggressive. There is no such thing as a doubt that Chimaev placed on a masterclass within the grappling division, however even some followers and consultants consider the shortage of motion is what they need for lots.
Diaz shortly shared his ideas on social media by expressing his perception that Chimaev “cannot combat.” The Stockton legend added context to his put up throughout his stay stream with Sneako.
Nate Diaz says Kamza Chimaev is a “scary fighter”
“He escapes as this massive, intimidating man, however he is a giant scary child.”

“I do not like that sort of combat,” Diaz stated. “That is boring for me. He is purported to be a giant, scary man, proper? And keep in mind him having him in aspect management and hugging him? And he is like, ‘Let’s go.’
“He is frightened of his life. He is afraid that if he tries to hit him arduous, he would possibly get up and go away him. In order that’s a scary type for me.
UFC CEO Dana White has already discovered Chimaev’s first title challenger. He booked a middleweight battle between Reinier de Ridder and Anthony Hernandez. The winner of that combat may win a championship alternative, however Nassoldeen’s Imavov vs Kaioborakho winner can also be very playful.
