Smith gave a prediction for the fight between Chimaev and Diaz

UFC Light Heavyweight Anthony Smith spoke about the upcoming fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Nate Diaz.

“It's a very hard way to slam the door. I can say that Chimaev is a more powerful striker, a more technical fighter, he fights better. The only thing that plays in Diaz's favor is his conditioning and probably his ability to submit. True, Nate Diaz is Nate Diaz, he can play the fool and then give a hard fight to anyone. Nate has an uncanny ability to make people look bad, so there's a high chance this could happen. I won't be shocked if I see Nate turn this fight into a dog slaughter. But, most likely, Chimaev is waiting for a relatively easy fight.

Recall that this confrontation will be held as part of the 279th UFC tournament.
