Ferguson vs Diaz Prediction
.
Winner:'Tony Ferguson (62%)
Method of Victory:'Decision (69%)
Neither Tony Ferguson nor Nate Diaz has had much success as of late. Ferguson enters UFC 279 riding a four-fight losing streak that saw him get knocked out by Michael Chandler in his last outing. Meanwhile, Nate Diaz has struggled to find success, dropping three of his last four fights.
While neither fighter has performed well, Diaz is the only one of the two that's won rec ently. I think that this will be a back-and-forth battle between two veterans trying to turn things around, ultimately ending with Diaz going the distance to secure the win over Ferguson.
Give me Diaz by decision at +330.
