UFC 279 standout Khamzat Chimaev has labeled Nate Diaz a fake gangster after claiming the latter turned down a $2 million offer to fight him on Saturday.
Chimaev claimed he made an offer (his full fight purse, no less) to Diaz after missing weight but that the Stockton native backed out and opted to fight UFC veteran Tony Ferguson instead.
On top of all, the ‘undefeated in UFC’ fighter was of the opinion that he wasn’t responsible for his failure to make weight and flipped off the audience after missing weight. This action further added on to magnify the wrath of UFC fans towards ‘Borz’.
1. I think sometimes we forget fighters are human just like us.
2. Pay the tax, he’s a nice guyI
3. love Khamzat and I actually think he’s gunna keep winning idk why he hasn’t had a fight in so long tho?
While it’s apparent that some fans were still holding on the Chimaev’s weight-missing grudge, most fans had already accepted him as one of their favorites.
