Nate Diaz admits he didn't want to fight Khamzat Chimaev
Nate Diaz will face rising superstar Khamzat Chimaev in the main event of Saturday's UFC 279 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It will be a high-profile matchup for Diaz, who proved he thrives under the brightest of spotlights. This time around, however, the Stockton native admitted that he didn't want to fight Chimaev in the first place. He told ESPN MMA:
"They're acting like I called for this fight, which I didn't call for and don't want and didn't want and still don't want. But I don't give a f***, I'll fight anybody. But, [the] pressure is on him, he better finish me, because he's the next killer in town."

Diaz added that the situation is not lost on him. He revealed that he's aware the UFC is trying to make a superstar out of Chimaev at his expense:
"This fight isn't even about this guy... it's about 'making' this guy. And I'm like, 'OK, you guys aren't going to let me go? Because I'm the best fighter here? And you're not gonna let me go unless it's off of somebody? I gotta make somebody for you? Well, alright, you're welcome. Let's make you.' You're welcome, UFC..."
Many expect Diaz to leave the company after UFC 279. His current deal is set to expire after his bout on Saturday.
