Nate Diaz contradicts Joe Rogan on asking for the Khamzat Chimaev fight Nate Diaz is widely expected to bring the curtains down on his UFC career after his welterweight bout against Khamzat Chimaev. Since the fight's announcement, fans have voiced their rage about the matchmaking seemingly undermining a veteran fighter.
