Video: What should Nate Diaz’s next move be after UFC 279?

Nate Diaz fought out his UFC contract this past Saturday and left little doubt in his post-fight interview that his next move won’t be returning to the UFC.

Diaz (21-13 MMA, 16-11 UFC) submitted former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson (25-8 MMA, 15-6 UFC) with a fourth-round guillotine choke. The mild upset appeared to delight the Las Vegas crowd, given Diaz’s status as a longtime fan favorite.

Diaz was supposed to fight Khamzat Chimaev – against whom he was a massive underdog. Instead, he got to go out on a high note with his win over Ferguson, which also got him a $50,000 post-fight bonus award.
