UFC prospect Hamzat Chimaev explained why he agreed to fight Nate Diaz.

"I don't really need to fight this guy. I fight him just for fun. I was just a kid when he was already fighting. I could just sit back and wait for the title fight. I agreed to this fight because this guy is famous, but I realize he's not the best. Everybody loves him and talks about this gangster. I eat gangsters for breakfast. I'm going to destroy this guy," stated "Borz."

Recall that Chimaev and Diaz will face off on September 10 at UFC 279.
