BREAKING: Nate Diaz Submits Tony Ferguson In The 4th Round At UFC 279 (VIDEO)

Nate Diaz made his final appearance in an Octagon after an epic UFC career Saturday in the main event of UFC 279 in Las Vegas against former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson.

The two fan favorites finally faced off in a welterweight fight after an unprecedented turn of events shook up the main card.

Since losing the majority decision to McGregor, Diaz has fought just three times. Ferguson, who first fought for the UFC back in 2011, was riding a four-fight losing streak headed into this matchup.

On this night, Diaz would come out with the win, via submission.
