Khamzat looked mentally broken despite winning a close decision over Burns, he realized that he's not an invincible Khabib 2.0 as many saw him before. He couldn't run through Burns despite making fun of his size and ability before the fight.

Nate Diaz is extremely hard to finish, cardio for days (Chimmy was huffing and Puffing by round 2), and good BJJ (Khamzat wasn't confident enough to entertain grappling with Burns, so we know it's a weakness)

Enough said.
 
It’s mma, nothing should be surprising anymore.
 
Nate Diaz has little to no chance to win but:

1. The odds are off by a few hundred points
2. It will be interesting to see how the fight goes and if Nate puts up a fight

After the Burns fight I think Khamzat fanboys should come down to earth a little, kick the lust from their eyes and adjust expectations. If Khamzat fights smart and wrestles I don't think it will be competitive.
 
Theres not much Diaz can do to win,besides a hail mary submission off a possibly gassed Khamzat in the 5th. He will probably be too beaten up to pull it off by then. Nate's combos are very dangerous,and he's landed them in his fights with Conor,Masvidal and Leon...but too little too late except against Conor,which basically won him that fight. That was also a long time ago.
 
It's not whether or not Nate can win, cause he cant

Its whether he can rock Khamzat to diminish his hype even more
 
+700 implies a 12.5% chance of winning, or 1 in 8. So yes, I'd say that is significant but not likely.
 
I think it's going to look like it did for Nate in his title shot against Bendo.
 
Nate's dome is not a hard target to find. Khamzat will be able to land hard straight punches at will. This will be a relatively easy first round finish for Khamzat.

If he finishes nate in the first,that would be extraordinary. Hell,if he finishes him AT ALL.

Khamzat should have the stuff to do it though. Mas almost had him out. You really have to go for it though. You could easily gas yourself out trying tho. Nate is a zombie.
