The odds are against Nate Diaz ahead of his UFC 279 matchup opposite Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 279, as are several important — and unsettling — stats.
There is no doubting Diaz’s resiliency and toughness. Famed MMA trainer Firas Zahabi once described Diaz as such, “If you put him in a fight where there is no time limit, I think he beats 99 percent of fighters. You can’t sub him. You can’t finish him. The guy doesn’t stop walking forward. He puts volume on you. He is the scariest, in my opinion, street fighter in MMA.
