Nate Diaz has been a part of the UFC for more than a decade now. The veteran fighter followed his elder brother’s footsteps and came into UFC in 2007. Since then, the fighter has made a huge name for himself. Diaz’s unorthodox fighting style and gangster persona were liked by the fight fans and he became a superstar. Nate is one of the few fighters who have gained such fandom without even holding a UFC championship belt. He has had a career full of ups and downs however, most of his fights have been illustrious.
In his last few fight, Diaz has not been able to beat his opponents and now is on the last fight of his UFC contract. After waiting for a long time, Diaz finally agreed to fight the new welterweight star, Khamzat Chimaev. The fight is going to be the main event of UFC 279, inside the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.
Going into the fight, Diaz is an underdog and many fight fans believe that the fight was unfair. Chimaev is currently in impressive form and according to fans will easily run through Diaz. However, nothing is impossible with Diaz as he has proved that he is a zombie and will continue fighting until his last breath. Nate has always been like that and the never give up attitude was grained to him at a very young age.
