The one-time lightweight title challenger has an implied winning probability of 11.43 percent.

UFC executive Hunter Campbell told ESPN.com the bout is verbally agreed to with contracts expected to be finalized.  The fight marks the final fight on Diaz&#8217;s current contract after he repeatedly asked to be released from the promotion amid a standstill over potential opponents.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"NCjY1w\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"aEnqSt\">Chimaev is undefeated at 11-0 including five straight UFC wins, three of which came in the first round.  In his most recent appearance, which took place at UFC 273, he was tested against one-time welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns but emerged victorious via decision in a \u201cFight of the Year\u201d candidate.<\/p>\n<p id=\"89GC6m\">Diaz is 1-2 since from a three-year lay returningoff.  In his most recent appearance, he lost a lopsided decision to current welterweight title challenger Leon Edwards at UFC 263.
