Chimaev vs Diaz Prediction
.
Winner:'Khamzat Chimaev (88%)
Method of Victory:'KO/TKO (70%)
The UFC 279 main event is a tale between two fighters heading in different directions. Khamzat Chimaev is one of the hottest fighters in the sport, going undefeated in his first 11 bouts. Meanwhile, Nate Diaz has struggled to find success, dropping three of his last four fights.
At the age of 37, Diaz is no longer in the prime of his career while the 28-year-old Chimaev is just reach ing his best form. With how decisively the latter has finished off his opponents lately, I'm expecting more of the same from Chimaev at T-Mobile Arena.
An outright win isn't exactly playable, so give me Chimaev by KO/TKO at -135.
