Who will win, Nate Diaz or Khamzat Chimaev?

[@TxSAVAGE86]

Nate all day

[@oldmanknowsnothing5005]

Nate will be tkoed just like Josh did to him.

[@codprocamp4690]

Who?

[@nikolajerkovic1590]

Nate wins by guillotine choke in round one

[@brooksysdead]

I don't think nate WILL win but I know he is entirely capable of winning so I will never count him out. I'm a huge Diaz fan ever since nick fought Lawler way back in the day so im always all in on the Diaz boys cause they are savage killers but I just don't think it goes in nate favor this time. That being did I will be betting money on nate just like I did when he fought Conor and I think the best possible thing that could happen is nate catching khamzat in a triangle then laying down a brutal profanity laced retirement rant then walk out the building with both fingers up as the crowd goes insane. Nate DESERVES a huge underdog win on his way out the door, he did more than enough to earn that right. Cmon nate we got your back win or lose brother 🤞

[@kylehunter2151]

[@MrThejoker96]

As a swede and khamzat supporter, i rly don’t think ppl should underestimate nate. He is a walking tank and he is unpredictable. But khamzat is also different. I still think that it’s gonna be a tough fight for both dudes. Both are tanks and tough as hell. If khamzat wins he proves himself even more. If nate wins he proves that he still can fight tough fights and never should be underestimated.Eitherway it’s gonna be a total war!

[@jazzyjeff019]

When is the fight?

[@MrThejoker96]

@@jazzyjeff019 this weekend

[@gregwendt2308]

When Nate fights someone more talented, he just muddles it up and hopefully wear the opponent down enough to catch them and steal the win. Imagine if Nate would actually take weight training seriously. The dude is just born to fight. He’s just gotta make it through 2-3 rounds, then we’re talking a more even fight. Stoppage for a cut is my biggest worry for Nate

[@d.w.935]

Nate is going to beat him! 👊

[@rickyhern2156]

I don't really care who wins. They are both tough as nails and they are two guys you have to respect. All I know is that I want to watch this fight.

[@otosere2857]

The UFC was founded on the premise that a little guy with BJJ can beat brawlers and wrestlers. Never underestimate Diaz's BJJ...Khamzat could easily wake up from a leg triangle and find his hype train derailed. OR, Nate (in a final Fk-you to Dana) taps out the second after opening bell. He will still get paid and technically would be raw-dogging Dana.

[@vorheese9997]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@seanfrank32]

That's a great point about bjj. Of course these big guys weren't prepared for it back then.. I really hope it doesn't go that second way. That would be lame, Nate is too much of a warrior to do that though. He 100% thinks he's a better fighter than Chinaev lol

[@arabpowerbuilding3205]

Maybe khamzat is the kind of fighter who easily get emotional in a fight, he kinda reminds me of cody garbrandt. If he fights the way he fought gilbert he’s definitely losing this five round fight.

[@johnmulholland5216]

Remember no one gave Nate a chance against Connor.....then he beat him twice....that's right i said twice the second fight was easily 3 rounds to 2 for Nate but obviously when it went the distance the ufc needed to keep their cash cow

If I'm not mistaken it's the score on the judges cards that decide the winner.

Honestly diaz knows Justin is a diaz killer with his style and not just the leg kicks. Justin has more grit to beat the Stockton grit in my eyes least at this stage in their careers
