Athletistic/ MMA. UFC middleweight champion Kamaru Usman has given a prediction for the fight between Chechen-born Swede Khamzat Chimaev and American Nate Diaz.

“It’s going to be a five-round fight! If Diaz fights like he fought Leon Edwards, saving energy until the fifth round, then he has no chance of winning,” Usman said.

The fight between Chimaev and Diaz will take place on September 10 in Las Vegas as part of the UFC 279 tournament. Chimaev has never lost in professional mixed martial arts, and not once did the fight with his participation end by a draw. Khamzat’s record includes 11 victories. Nate Diaz’s MMA stats are 20 wins, 13 losses, 0 draws.
