Dana White shared his thoughts on Nate Diaz’s submission win over Tony Ferguson during tonight’s UFC 279 post-fight press conference.<\/p>\n

Diaz (21-13 MMA), a former lightweight title challenger and TUF 5 winner, was fighting out the final bout of his existing UFC contract this evening. ‘The Stockton Slugger’ was originally slated to face Khamzat Chimaev (11-0 MMA) in tonight’s event headliner. However, after ‘Borz’ badly missed the welterweight limit of 171lbs, the promotion<\/a> decided to switch things up and have ‘The Stockton Slugger’ take on ‘El Cucuy’ instead.<\/p>\n

Nate Diaz had entered his final Octagon appearance for Dana White and company looking to snap a two-fight losing skid. The Stockton native had most previously competed in June of last year, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to reigning welterweight champion Leon Edwards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tony Ferguson (25-8 MMA) had entered UFC 279 looking to halt a four-fight losing skid. ‘El Cucuy’ had suffered brutal knockout loss to Michael Chandler in his most previous Octagon appearance this past May.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s ‘Diaz vs. Ferguson’ bout proved to be a solid back and forth affair. Nate Diaz got off to a strong start in the opening round, but ‘El Cucuy’ battled back in rounds two and three. Then, in round four, Diaz found a home for a barrage of punches which led to ‘El Cucuy’ shooting desperately for a takedown. Nate quickly sunk in a guillotine choke and the fight was over.<\/p>\n

Immediately following the conclusion of tonight’s headliner, UFC President Dana White spoke with reporters where he gave the following reaction.<\/p>\n

“He’s so durable and so tough,” White said of Diaz. “When Ferguson’s corner told him to take Nate down, Diaz capitalized immediately.”<\/p>\n

Dana White continued:<\/p>\n

“No matter what Nate does from here on out, I mean the kid… This is his house. He’s been here forever. It’s been a blast having him here and you know I wish him well. He and I had this discussion months ago at the office. You know, whatever he moves on to do I wish him nothing but the best. If he’s starting his own organization or getting into promoting, or doing something else. I wish him nothing but the best.”<\/p>\n
