Former interim UFC lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson reportedly told UFC Chief Business Officer, Hunter Campbell, how a ride in the latter’s Bentley – would likely help him decide whether or not he would save last weekend’s UFC 279 card, and fight Nate Diaz on a days’ notice.
Ferguson, a former interim lightweight champion under the promotion’s banner and The Ultimate Fighter 13 victor, entered last week’s UFC 279 card, originally slated to fight Li Jingliang.
However, on Friday of fight week, event headliner, Khamzat Chimaev missed the welterweight limit of 171lbs for his main event fight with Diaz – tipping the scales at 178.5lbs for the bout. With the matchup in jeopardy, the promotion floated a potential welterweight fight between Ferguson and Diaz.
And as per a report from ESPN MMA reporter, Brett Okamoto, who detailed the scenario in which the organization attempted to save their flagship event, Tony Ferguson, who was contacted about the possibility of fighting Diaz on short notice, made a leftfield proposition in order to speed up his decision-making.
Spotting the aforenoted, Campbell’s Bentley vehicle parked outside the UFC Apex facility, Tony Ferguson – half joking, claimed that he would likely do his best thinking regarding saving the main event against Diaz, if he drove the car – with the Chief Business Officer tossing the keys to the Oxnard native.
“You take the car for as long as you want,” Hunter Campbell said. “I don’t give a sh*t about the car.”
Ferguson is said to have returned to the UFC Apex facility 45 minutes later – Bentley in tow, before agreeing to face Diaz in the main event of UFC 279.
Battling back-and-forth over the course of four rounds against the Stockton veteran at the T-Mobile Arena, Ferguson, who took the opening three rounds on one of the judge’s scorecards, eventually gave up a fourth round guillotine choke submission loss to Diaz.

A fan, recording footage of undefeated UFC welterweight challenger, Khamzat Chimaev following his UFC 279 victory over Kevin Holland last weekend, saw his mobile phone knocked from his hand by lightweight contender, Guram Kutateladze, after he mocked the Chechen’s weight miss.
Chimaev, who improved to 12-0 as a professional at UFC 279 last Saturday, stopped short notice opponent, Holland in the event’s co-headliner, landing a first round D’Arce choke submission win.
However, on Friday of last week, Khamzat Chimaev was pulled from his originally slated main event against Nate Diaz, after he missed weight for the welterweight clash by seven and a half pounds.
As a result, Khamzat Chimaev would then face Holland, while Diaz, who remained on the card, eventually faced former interim lightweight titleholder, Tony Ferguson, scoring a fourth round guillotine choke victory.
Receiving mass criticizm for his weight missing blunder, Chimaev was recorded by a fan as he made his way through a casino lobby in Las Vegas, Nevada – before the fan shouted, “you didn’t make weight” – resulting in Chimaev’s entourage, including Georgian fighter, Kutateladze surrounding him, before knocking his phone onto the ground.
Touted to likely make a middleweight division leap before the close of this year amid his massive weight miss, Chimaev, who has competed just once at the limit before in his UFC debut win over John Philips, has turned in welterweight triumphs over Rhys McKee, Gerald Meerschaert, Li Jingliang, Gilbert Burns, and now, Holland.
Despite his weight miscue, Chimaev did, however, receive support from friend and criticized Chechen warlord, Ramzan Kadyrov – who claimed the AllStars MMA stalwart would just exact his will inside the Octagon, regardless of weight class or situation.
“(Khamzat) Chimaev absolutely does not worry about his weight, but he does not stand on ceremony with other categories either,” Ramzan Kadyrov posted. “He just goes out, wins, dictates his conditions in the Octagon and puts things in order.”
