UFC 279: Diaz vs. Ferguson
UFC 279, headlined Diaz vs. Ferguson, was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on September 10, 2022, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas metropolitan area in the United States. A welterweight bout between Khamzat Chimaev and former lightweight title challenger Nate Diaz, who is also The Ultimate Fighter 5 lightweight winner, was originally slated to headline the card. However, at the official weigh-ins Chimaev weighed in at 178.5 pounds, 7.5 pounds over the welterweight non-title limit, and the bout was cancelled. As a result, the promotion shuffled the lineup, elevating Diaz into a new main event against former interim UFC Lightweight Champion Tony Ferguson, who was previously set to face Li Jingliang in a welterweight bout.
