Diaz vs. Ferguson: Winners and Losers
Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson Put on a Show
Diaz vs. Ferguson took place live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas Nevada on September 10. Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson put on a show in Saturday’s main event while Khamzat Chimaev made quick work of Kevin Holland in the co-main event. It’s time to see who were the biggest winners and losers from last night’s UFC 279.
Winners:
*Diaz closed out his run with the promotion with a bang, defeating Ferguson via fourth-round submission. The victory was a reminder of Diaz’s toughness and skill, and it will likely go down as one of the most memorable moments of his career.
*Despite coming up short against Diaz, Ferguson showed that he still has plenty of fight left in him. The 38-year-old veteran pushed the pace throughout the fight and landed some big shots on Diaz. He may not be the same fighter he once was, but Ferguson is still a dangerous opponent.
*Chimaev made a statement with his first-round knockout of Holland. The Chechen-born fighter is now 12-0 in his professional MMA career, and he has quickly become one of the most feared fighters in the UFC. Chimaev is a future champion, and his performance at UFC 279 was another reminder of his immense potential.
Losers:
*Holland was never really in the fight against Chimaev. The American was taken down early and never recovered. Holland has now lost three of his last four fights, and he is in danger of falling out of the UFC’s welterweight rankings.
*The UFC had a lot of hype behind this card, but it ultimately fell short of expectations. The main event was a good fight, but the rest of the card was lackluster. The UFC needs to do a better job of putting together more exciting cards in the future.
Conclusion
Diaz vs. Ferguson was an entertaining fight, but the rest of the card was disappointing. Chimaev is a future star, but Holland’s loss was a major setback. The UFC needs to do a better job of putting together more exciting cards in the future.
