Khamzat Chimaev returns on September 10

On September 10, Khamzat Chimaev will be back in action to face the seasoned veteran Nate Diaz at UFC 279 in Las Vegas. This will be Khamzat’s first five-round fight in the UFC.

Chimaevs last opponent, Gilbert Burns, thinks that the Swede will still be undefeated when the fight is over.

”I don’t think Nate has a chance in that fight,” Burns said at the UFC Hall of Fame red carpet a while back.

However, Khamzat’s head coach at Allstars Training Center, Andreas Michael, would never overlook a veteran opponent like Nate Diaz.

”This is not an easy fight, absolutely not,” Michaels recently told The Mac Life.
