Not excited at all borz will win probably by a cut or dominant takedown filled decision.
I was surprised not only that borz was almost kod by burns but that he failed so badly in striking.
Don't expect many exchanges same goes for submissions, if he does he probably gets rncd.

wait where did you see Khamzat vs Nate?

nvm saw, so dumb imo, First of all, I dont agree with Aljo v TJ being a PPV headliner by itself but you shouldn't make a non title fight above it. Secondly, they have UFC sweden coming up, they couldn't just use this fight for that card as a main event, I get Khamzat doesn't represent sweden as much as guys like Gus and Hermansson but both those are fighting a few months ahead (this weekend) and I don't think they'll be able to get a quick 3-4 month turn around. I don't mind the matchup, although think it's a bit weird, Khamzat should be looking to fight up in the ranking and make his way to a title shot, he's got enough star power, we don't need a Nate fight to push like we did with Leon.

 I'm not going to say anything new with saying Khamzat is going to do awful thing to Nate, I think people are severely under rated Gilbert Burns, But Gilbert is a beast and beating him in your eleveth pro fight make you a great fighter,No fighter has every fight be easy, Khabib and Jones had hard fight, And every other pro fighter lost at least once, 

Also, This card suck, Need to add good fights, But it's 3 month away so they will, Main event is a miss match and the only other intersting thing is Jaiton Almeda

Will Chimaev be a -5000 like those Kayla Harrison PFL lines?  lol

The only way Diaz wins this fight is catching Chimaev in a quick submission like his brother Nick did against Gomi back in that Pride USA event.  Diaz will get taken down so he needs all the jiu jitsu help he can get from all his years training with Cesar Gracie.  I'm sure that Jake Shields and Nick Maximov will drill TD defense with him too but not sure it's going to be enough.  

Chimaev might even stand and bang with Diaz just to prove a point.

Chimaev standing with Nate would be a mistake, he isn’t a good striker and the longer the fight goes on the worse it is for him. He should go for takedowns every time they’re on the feet and try to win the fight on the ground.

Diaz is basically a blown up light weight and Khamzat barely makes weight for WW, if Khamzat wants a W he literally just has to grapple.

However if he wants to do what he did against Gilbert (which I pray he does) then Diaz has a slight chance.
