UFC 279: Nate Diaz vs Khamzat Chimaev and Best Bets on the fight card- Betting Odds

When it is all said and done, Nate Diaz will go down as one of the legends of the UFC. Diaz played a huge in role in increasing the popularity of the sport along with his brother Nick Diaz. The younger Diaz brother has been with the UFC for the better part of two decades during that time, he has watched the company grow from obscurity into one of the biggest sports, not only in the United States but also in the whole world. 

Unfortunately for fight fans, this will be the last time we see Nate Diaz inside the UFC octagon as the fight against Chimaev is the last fight on his contract. For the better part of a year, Diaz has been wanting to see out his contract and become a free agent. 

After months of begging the UFC for a fight, Diaz was finally matched up with up and coming welterweight contender Khamzat Chimaev. This is one of the very few times that the headline event for a PPV card is not a title fight which just shows the star power both Diaz and Chimaev have. Ahead of the fight card, we take a look at the betting odds for all the fights on the main card.
