Nate Diaz came out on top in the main event at UFC 279. He beat Tony Ferguson, in a hastily put together match-up, by submission to secure a W in the last UFC fight of his contract. It is now expected that Diaz will enter the sport of boxing and self-promotion. However, one of Stockton’s finest has left the door open on a possible Octagon return.
On a night where most in the MMA world were celebrating Diaz’s performance, accomplishments and emancipation, someone else needed to make it all about themselves. And you can guess exactly who that was.
