Russian MMA fighter Dmitry Bikrev believes that in opposition Khamzat Chimaeva With Nate Diaz UFC 279 does not have a sports component.
Will Diaz’s Jiu-Jitsu work against Chimaev’s fight?
– I think it will be difficult for Chimaev to delay Diaz in the fight, as well as Burns. It’s hard to do something quickly against guys who feel good on the pitch. On the other hand, Diaz is not particularly tall. He fought at 70 kilograms, then with half heartbreak he moved up to welterweight because of the fight with McGregor. Chimaev is a good middleweight. It may be that Khamzat simply eats it and, at the expense of strength, makes it painful or suffocating. Technology will not help here. Chimaev will simply crush Diaz like a piece of paper.
– When this fight was announced, many wondered why it was necessary. They said Diaz was simply thrown away to be eaten by Chimaev in the last contracted fight.
– The fight is necessary to earn money on it. It’s the same show. I don’t see a sports component here, just an interesting story of two “gangsters”. I don’t think Diaz is thrown to be eaten, he’s just used to fighting for big bucks, and they’re only given for high level fights. Chimaev is well known, so they will pay for him. I think the money is gone. It makes no sense for Diaz to fight just to win, – RB Sport quotes Bikrev.
The fight between Chimaev and Diaz will take place on September 11.
