American mixed martial arts veteran Nate Diaz criticized the newly minted UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev from the UAE.

“I don’t like that style, it’s boring. He should be a big, scary guy, shouldn’t he? Remember how he held [du Plessis] in a side grip. He was hitting him with light, soft strikes and all that... People don’t understand that this is how a cowardly fighter fights. He’s afraid for his life, he’s so scared that it seems like if he hits him hard, that guy will get up and demolish him,” Diaz stated on the stream of blogger Sneako.
