Surprised? Nate Diaz showed why he is a #3 seed and a dark horse in this tournament when he took out #6 seed, JMMA veteran Caol Uno with ease. Diaz took the win 44-12 in a dominant performance that very few were able to see for Uno. Diaz now moves on to the Sweet 16 and a clash with the winner of Tony Ferguson vs. Michael Chandler.
Today, it’s a battle between one of our top seeds and one of the earliest marquee fighters of the division. #1 seed and former UFC champion Benson Henderson takes on the man long called the uncrowned UFC champ, #8 seed Yves Edwards.
