At some point Nate Diaz probably just stopped looking at the odds of his fights.
Diaz is a significant underdog (currently -650) heading into Saturday’s UFC 263 fight card where he faces Leon Edwards in a five-round welterweight scrap. Unless something ridiculous happens, Saturday will mark the eighth straight (via BestFightOdds) time Diaz makes the walk to the octagon as the underdog. The last time Diaz was a favorite was his 2013 matchup against Josh Thomson and Thomson won that fight via knockout. In the seven fights since that loss, Diaz is 4-3.
Edwards, who is unbeaten in his past nine fights, was the favorite in seven of those outings.
