Nate Diaz set a UFC record for the most submission wins from bottom position by choking out Tony Ferguson in his final fight for the promotion.
Diaz, 37, submitted Ferguson with a guillotine choke in the fourth round of their fight at UFC 279. Two judges had Diaz winning every round before he finished the fight, whilst the other judge had it two rounds to one in favour of Ferguson. Diaz ended his 15-year stint with the UFC by picking up his first win in over three years, much to the joy of the Las Vegas crowd.
The fan favourite overtook light-heavyweight Paul Craig for the most submission wins from a bottom position with six. Most of Diaz's submission wins came early on in his UFC career, with the veteran stating there weren't many fighters as talented as him on the ground in his early UFC days.
