"Khamzat Shimaev e Nate diaz, that doesn't intrigue me. Do you know why? He's going to run you over. Listen, Diaz is tough. Don't take what I said as an insult to Diaz. He's very tough, he goes inside, he's always in shape, he never gives up. But Khamzat is a bigger, scarier guy. Diaz has had problems at 77 (kg), he's a lightweight by birth, let's be honest. You never know, nothing is guaranteed in this sport. If you don't take someone seriously, if you go in thinking you've already won, it can turn against you,” Bisping said.

the duel between Khamzat Shimaev e Nate diaz will be the main fight of the UFC 279, scheduled for September 10th. It is worth remembering that the clash will be the last commitment of the North American veteran's current contract with the organization. The show will be held at the T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas (USA).
