UFC 279 LIVE: Nate Diaz vs Tony Ferguson and Khamzat Chimaev vs Kevin Holland results

The Independent  

✕ Close Diaz to face Ferguson at UFC 279; Chimaev embraces boos at weigh-in Nate Diaz exited the UFC with a submission victory on Saturday, beating fellow fan favourite Tony Ferguson in the final fight of his UFC contract. Diaz had been scheduled to take on the UFC’s fastest-rising star, Khamzat Chimaev, in the main event of UFC 279, but Chimaev weighed in seven-and-a-half pounds over the welterweight limit, causing the card to be drastically reworked. The Chinaman instead fought Daniel Rodriguez, whose original opponent Kevin Holland went up against Chimaev. Diaz and Chimaev both emerged as submission winners from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with 37-year-old Diaz forcing Ferguson, 38, to tap out to a guillotine choke in the fourth round, after Chimaev had submitted Holland with a D’Arce choke in the co-main event.
