If UFC 279 was the last time that Nate Diaz will compete in the Octagon, he is going out on a memorable note.
After a build-up that was supposed to culminate in Diaz vs Khamzat Chimaev, the Stockton native would be matched up with former interim champ Tony Ferguson on just 24 hours’ notice after a massive weight miss from Chimaev. In the end, this turned out to be a competitive bout, and the last one on Nate’s UFC contract.
Fighters React To Nate Diaz Submitting Tony Ferguson
The UFC 279 main event between Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson turned out to be a bloody brawl, to the surprise of no one, with both men scoring serious damage on one another. In the end however, Nate would score a guillotine finish in the fourth round to end his UFC tenure in the perfect way.
Following the fight, the MMA world was abuzz with fighters and fans reacting to this performance and celebrating possibly the last time Diaz will be seen in the UFC. There was plenty of pleasantries to be said, after such a gutsy performance and insane fight week.
