Nate Diaz (pictured left) marked the final fight of his 15-year Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) career by earning a fourth-round submission to defeat Tony Ferguson in Las Vegas.
Diaz, 37, secured a guillotine choke to end the bout against his fellow American at UFC 279.
Ferguson replaced Khamzat Chimaev last Friday (9) after the Swede failed to make the welterweight limit to fight Diaz.
In the rearranged co-main event, Chimaev submitted Kevin Holland in the first round.
A fan favourite because of his enduring career and rebellious personality, Diaz has won 16 of his 27 fights since joining the UFC as a 22-year-old.
The fight at the T-Mobile Arena represented the final bout on Diaz’s UFC contract.
