Nate Diaz has a significant chance to win

[griffen]

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)

Nate got absolutely owned by Masvidal. I don't see him faring better with Khamzat

 

[Satsui Ryu]

The beating Khazmat is going to give Nate will be criminal.

 

[Eiger]

I'm just hoping the fight makes it to the later rounds.

Khamzat looked mentally broken despite winning a close decision over Burns

No he didnt. He looked fine at the end of the fight. For sure it was tougher than expected,but he looked fine with it

 

[Poirierfan]

It'll be a unbelievably horrifying real life massacre, I will NOT watch.

 

[johny ringo]

No offense to Leon but he busted Nate up pretty good. Imagine what Khamzat is going to do.

 

[FIghtxIQ]

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 Khamzat does stop Nate, most likely it will be an uppercut when Nate tries to turn and dip away. Same thing with Masvidal's kick that cut him. If that doesn't put him out, it may be what leads to the stoppage.

I have seen people here saying Nate Diaz has no chance to win, now that Nate Diaz has a significant chance to win. I, on the other hand, think he has a small chance to win.

Also Khamzat doesnt have a cardio problem, he had a problem of timing himself. He won the fight agaisnt Burns by basically outlasting him in the cardio department, no idea what people are talking about. Round 3 was Burns completely dead throwing some haymakers and Khamzat still working, still with movement, still throwing jabs and moving around him.

As long as there is violence I'm happy. I don't want to see a boring wrestlefuck.

 

[Sunnyvale TP]

I'm pulling for a Diaz win. Dude is always entertaining, inside and outside the Octagon. Those Diaz bros bring the laughs and sacrifices to the JBG.

 

[GeraltOfRivia]

If you classify south of 5% significant yeh

Sure if it goes past the 3rd round and Nate applied pressure and turns it on Khamzat he may just force a sloppy takedown and get the sub. But he’d really have to fight like he’s 10 years younger and would still have to have some success in the early rounds to get Khamzat that tired.
Doesn’t seem super likely.
I hope Nate puts on the performance of a lifetime though!!

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

Nate should be the favorite, but I'll take my winnings

 

[Midget Boxer]

Diaz ground game is severely overrated

He gets taken down and controlled easily. Average grappler conor reversed him

 

[corrupted]

I don't see it. Never know. But everything points towards a beatdown.

 

[tornado362]

It seems everyone is forgetting that Khamzat was taking part in a Ramadan during his Burns fight, fasting is going to mess up your cardio

The beating Khazmat is going to give Nate will be criminal.

What he will do to Usman once he takes him down will be just as bad, only burns can stop his ground game.

Cardio may be an issue
