UFC 279 ‘Thrill and Agony’: Nate Diaz celebrates with Tommy Lee after victorious UFC sendoff

Watch a preview for the latest edition of “The Thrill and the Agony,” which goes behind the scenes of UFC 279.

Nate Diaz (21-13 MMA, 16-11 UFC) fought out his UFC contract in the main event of the pay-per-view event by tapping former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson (25-8 MMA, 15-6 UFC) with a guillotine choke in the fourth round.

In the co-feature, Khamzat Chimaev (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) blitzed through Kevin Holland (23-8 MMA, 10-5 UFC), immediately going to his dominant grappling to secure a first-round submission win.

In a preview of “The Thrill and the Agony” special from UFC 279 which is available for UFC Fight Pass subscribers, we get an all-access look at the immediate aftermath of Chimaev and Diaz’s wins.

You can watch the preview in the video above.
