Bookmakers name the favorite in Diaz-Chimaev fight

UFC welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev has opened as a huge favorite for a potential fight with the promotion's star veteran Nate Diaz.

So, according to Sports King, the odds on Chimaev's win is 1.18. The probability of Diaz's success is estimated at 5.25.

On October 30, at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi, Chimaev "choked" Chinese Li Jingliang in the first round. Later, the Chechen with Swedish passport stated his desire to meet in the octagon with Diaz, and UFC head Dan White fully supported the idea.

Diaz had his last fight on June 12, when he lost it to Leon Edwards by unanimous decision.
