UFC Tonight: UFC 279: Chimaev vs. Diaz is set to go down this Saturday, September 10 from the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The pay-per-view card is lined up with a series of exciting fights topped by a rare non-title main event clash between Nate Diaz and undefeated sensation Khamzat Chimaev.

'Borz', meanwhile, will look to extend his record to a perfect 12-0 with another strong performance.

Taking the co-main event honors will be another exciting welterweight matchup between Tony Ferguson and Li Jingliang. 'El Cucuy' will be hoping for success at 170lbs after losing four consecutive bouts at lightweight.

Also on the main card, Kevin Holland will take on Daniel Rodriguez, who is returning to the octagon after a layoff of over a year.
