During the press conference after the UFC 261 event, Dana White revealed that the boxer Nick Diaz officially returned to the stage this year. This has made the MMA community wave and there are some volunteer fighters to welcome Nick's return.
Among those who want to compare with Diaz's nick, the most prominent is probably Khamzat Chimaev. Talking on MMAjunkie, this Russian boxer commented:
“Nick Diaz is a legend. Everyone knows him as a good guy but seems to Gangsters. This will be an attractive match if there is my participation. I don't understand why Nick has not agreed, because of fear?”
Nick Diaz has not played since 2015. Hanging gloves for a long time greatly affects the performance of the boxer. Therefore, clashing with a young boxer like Chimaev is a bad idea. However, Chimaev himself is also entangled in illness when he recently positive for Covid-19 and had to stop playing for treatment.
Chimaev believes that the match against Diaz will bring a large amount of money to UFC.
“I think the tournament will earn a lot of money. I really like this guy and also want to act the Gangsters with him. I am back and ready to defeat anyone. Even the Diaz brothers can fight me. I will let the world know who is Gangster really,” Chimaev added.
