2 years agoOne of the sport's hottest rising stars returns to action, this time in the main event of UFC 279 on Saturday when Khamzat Chimaev (11-0) faces future Hall of Famer Nate Diaz. Chimaev has blown up on the UFC scene, running through all of his competition. He proved his toughness and durability in his last outing by defeating Gilbert Burns via unanimous decision. DraftKings sees Chimaev as the night's biggest favorite with a salary of $9,600. Throughout his UFC career, Chimaev averages 118.1 fantasy points per contest. Chimaev must be careful, as Diaz has proven time and time again he can pull out a submission victory over favored opponents. If this goes to the mat, Chimaev must get out of the situation or we could have another Conor McGregor/Diaz moment.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
