Nate Diaz blew the roof of the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the last time at UFC 279.

Diaz signed out of the last fight of his UFC contract in typical Diaz fashion. Stockdon’s own became the first man to submit Tony Ferguson since 2009 when stopping the former interim lightweight champion in the fourth round.

The UFC roster took to Twitter to give their reaction after the UFC 279 headliner had came to a close.
