Nate Diaz vs. Tony Ferguson
Watch Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson face off after Khamzat Chimaev’s weight miss scrambled the UFC 279 main card.
In a wild series of events, the original main event for UFC 279 was scrapped after Khamzat Chimaev weighed in 7.5 pounds over the welterweight limit, leaving UFC legends Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson to face each other in a fan favorite matchup.
The drama began on Thursday night before the press conference began. There was a brawl backstage involving the camps of Chimaev, Kevin Holland, and Diaz, which led to the cancellation of the press conference.
As a result of Chimaev’s failed weight cut, the top three main event bouts were flipped around, resulting in matchups Diaz vs. Ferguson, Chimaev vs. Holland, and Li Jingliang vs. Daniel Rodriguez.
