LAS VEGAS — When it comes to Nate Diaz vs. Khamzat Chimaev, Vicente Luque isn’t writing him off just yet.
At UFC 279 on September 10 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Diaz faces the unbeaten Chimaev (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) as the huge underdog.
On the other hand, Diaz’s cardio and toughness might be an asset if he can get through the early going.
The co-main event of UFC on ESPN 40, which takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday, will pit him against Geoff Neal, whom he lost in April to Belal Muhammad.
