Nate Diaz continues to put Khamzat Chimaev on blast following UFC 319. Chimaev captured the UFC Middleweight Championship thanks to a blowout decision victory over Dricus du Plessis in Chicago. The bout wasn’t competitive, as du Plessis had no answer for the grappling of “Borz.” While there is no doubting that Chimaev put on a masterclass in the grappling department, some fans and even experts believe the lack of action left a lot to be desired.

While it’s not clear as to what his next fight will be, one thing is for sure: ‘Borz’ has silenced a lot of his critics.
