Khamzat Chimaev & Darren Till challenge Nate and Nick Diaz to inaugural UFC tag team match

Khamzat Chimaev wants to take on Nate Diaz and Nick Diaz alongside Darren Till in the UFC’s first ever tag team match.

One thing that has quickly become clear about Khamzat Chimaev is that he’s a complete wildcard both in and outside of the Octagon. He’s the sort of character who is always going to leave you guessing, whether it be from his dominant fight style or his unique personality.

The man known as ‘Borz’ is coming off the back of an absolute war against Gilbert Burns that established one thing above all else – he’s a warrior.

The Chechen sensation has a big future ahead of him and yet, even though he’s heading further up the division, he can’t help but look elsewhere for potentially huge money fights.

He’s made no secret of the fact that he’d like to get in there and throw hands with Nate Diaz, to the point where UFC president Dana White even seems to be interested in the idea.

It hasn’t quite come to fruition just yet but in a recent interview, Chimaev has decided to take it one step further by getting Darren Till and Nick Diaz in the mix too.

“I can take his [Nate Diaz] brother as well. Take his f***ing brother, I can take his brother and smash him too. First time in the UFC, two against two. We’re gonna smash them. There are two kings here. Me and my brother, the English king as well [Darren Till].”

It’s hard to picture a scenario in which Chimaev doesn’t fight again this year, but who his opponent will be is still up in the air.

Belal Muhammad is a man on his radar for an October showdown in Abu Dhabi but in a tweet sent out just a few days ago, Khamzat also implied that he wants to return in August – potentially on the same pay-per-view card scheduled to be headlined by Kamaru Usman vs Leon Edwards.
