Veteran UFC referee Marc Goddard never considered stopping Nate Diaz 's fight against Tony Ferguson despite the periods of inactivity between the two fighters.
Diaz, 37, choked out Ferguson in the final fight of his UFC contract this past weekend after his original booking against Khamzat Chimaev was axed. It was Diaz's first win in over three years and he is now expected to part ways with the UFC after spending 15 years fighting in the promotion.
Whilst the fight between Diaz and Ferguson was entertaining, it was also somewhat confusing as Diaz disengaged at certain points to seemingly take a break. Ferguson didn't walk his rival down and also used the time to take a breather, with some fans left baffled at the bizarre sequences.
