Nate Diaz Beats Tony Ferguson via 4th-Round Submission at UFC 279 in Final Fight

Nate Diaz closed out UFC 279 with a fourth-round submission win over Tony Ferguson in the main event from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Leg kicks were the story of the first round. Both tried to establish some of their boxing but the biggest development came with the gash that Diaz opened on Ferguson's shin when he checked a leg kick.

Things got really interesting by the third round. Diaz found some success with his boxing combinations and Ferguson had moments of his own with kicks but both fighters engaged in some theatrics including El Cucuy laying down in the middle of the cage.
