- Nate Diaz scored a fourth-round win over Tony Ferguson.
- UFC 279 on Saturday, winning the last fight of his UFC deal.
- In a wild session that covered off a phenomenal week for the UFC.
Nate Diaz dissected Ferguson for the initial three rounds prior to getting a guillotine gag in the fourth to end the fight.
Before a sold-out swarm at the T-Mobil Field.
A behind the stage fight made Thursday’s public interview be stopped, and the card was tossed into disorder on Friday morning when Khamzat Chimaev missed as far as possible for his proposed headliner fight against Diaz.
That miss constrained a reshuffle that saw Ferguson move forward to meet Diaz while Chimaev took on Kevin Holland and Li Jingliang went head to head against Daniel Rodriguez, yet the rescheduled headliner didn’t dishearten.
The fan number one from Stockton, California opened better than Ferguson’s right eye in the second as his pin-point boxing began to tell.
Ferguson retaliated, hacking at the lead leg of Diaz to dial him back, yet Diaz was as yet ready to land his mixes to drive his rival back and he played with the group, walking around the enclosure and resting up against it to have some time off.
Ferguson went for a takedown in the fourth round yet Diaz, who submitted Conor McGregor to hand the Irishman his most memorable misfortune in the UFC in 2016, surrounded his arm around Ferguson’s neck and hauled him to the ground to get the success.
“I need to escape the UFC briefly and tell these UFC warriors the best way to dominate and claim another game .. I will go out there, assume control over another calling … and afterward I’ll be right back here to get a UFC title,” Diaz said in the octagon.
Chechen-conceived Swede Chimaev was entirely booed as he entered the octagon yet when the fight was in progress he burned through no time, going for a takedown and starting a serious of enraged wrestling scrambles that finished in support of himself.
The 28-year-old ruled Holland on the mat prior to getting the triumph by securing in a Darce gag and driving his rival to tap at the 2:13 imprint in the principal round, doubtlessly stirring up a lot of dismay for the group.
“I’m the most hazardous person here. I’m coming for everybody. I kill everybody, I will go through everybody, nobody can stop me!” a rebellious Chimaev thundered in his post-fight interview as the boos moved down from the stands.
