And thanks to an unfortunate set of events, the fans got exactly what they wanted, a war between two veterans of the sport. The fight started off well, as both men found success early on. While at times it did get a bit unorthodox from both men, it is one of the reasons that has made them so popular among fans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A closer look at Nate Diaz vs Tony Ferguson\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first major bit of damage from Nate Diaz was checking a leg kick, which opened up a massive gash on Ferguson\u2019s leg.

As soon as Tony Ferguson shot for a takedown in the fourth round, Diaz immediately went in for a guillotine choke. As soon as he did, Ferguson tapped, and the fight was called off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-405930\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/image01-11.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1102\" height=\"1102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/image01-11.jpeg 1102w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/image01-11-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/image01-11-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/image01-11-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/09\/image01-11-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1102px) 100vw, 1102px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one could have scripted a better end to Nate Diaz\u2019s career than what happened tonight.
