The UFC returns to PPV with UFC 279 on Saturday, September 10 from the T-Mobile Arena on the strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event will feature a veteran fan favorites Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson squaring off in a welterweight bout. The contest will headline a five-fight match card with a start time of 10 p.m. on ESPN+ PPV.
Diaz (21-13) has been with the UFC since winning the Ultimate Fighter 5 on June 23, 2007. He is a fan favorite for his all-action style that has gotten him eight Fight of the Year bonuses. Diaz is also a master student of Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and has five “Submission of the Night” bonuses. He was also the first man to beat Conor McGregor in the UFC.
