Publikfavoriten Nate Diaz avslutade UFC-karriären på topp då han besegrade Tony Ferguson på UFC 279! Diaz var först tilltänkt att möta Khamzat Chimaev men kaos vid invägningarna gjorde att det sattes ihop tre nya matcher. Diaz kom att matchas mot veteranen Ferguson och de bjöd publiken på en match som hade lite av varje!
Både Diaz och Ferguson har unika stilar och det var stundtals något som resulterade i några märkliga scener. I kombination med Diaz tendens för att showa så kom huvudmatchen att bli svår att döma. Ferguson hade framgång med sina bensparkar medan Diaz landade hårdare slag med mer kraft bakom. I fjärde ronden kom dock veteranerna att göra det lätt för domarna. Matchen gick till mattan och väl där skulle det inte ta lång tid innan Diaz säkrat en giljotin som fick Ferguson att klappa!
Diaz tog efteråt till mikrofonen för att tacka UFC, UFC-chefen Dana White och fansen. Eftersom detta var Diaz sista match så kommer det nu att bli intressant att se vad nästa steg blir för Diaz. Publikfavoriten kom att anspela på sina planer i sin segerintervju där han bland annat sade att han hade siktet på att ”dominera en annan sport”.

Ferguson looks old tonight.
He's always had a funky unorthodox style but this doesn't look good. #UFC279

Fitting end. Nate via guillotine as he flexes for the crowd. Fourth round finish. And he’s a free agent.
