Nate Diaz vs Tony Ferguson Prediction

I really feel that will put some uneasy pressure on Ferguson when he has been preparing for a three-round fight. We all know Nate will bring the fight to Tony. The big question is does Nate want it enough? In reality, I think this is a big chance for Nate to end the UFC on a high note and give Dana one more middle finger.

Tony looked very good last fight. But the thing that concerns me with Tony is his take-down defense and his chin is gone. That's not good when you're facing someone like Nate Diaz. Who will consistently bring the pressure to Ferguson? Also, how will Ferguson's cardio hold up? He used to have great cardio. But he didn't even prepare for a five-round fight.

In this matchup, I really like Diaz in all areas. He is better on the ground and he will stand and trade with Tony all night long. Every time I see someone get knockout cold like Tony did the next fight doesn't go well either.

So when it all comes down to it, I just believe Nate is going to get his hand raised one more time. Nate is going to put Dana on blast and just leave the UFC on a high note. All this drama leading up to this fight seems like a storyline planned. I really just fully believe Diaz will be ready to prove the UFC wrong again. Let's ride Diaz's moneyline and cash.
