When is Nate Diaz vs. Tony Ferguson, date, start time tonight

The UFC's intention heading into Nate Diaz's final contest at Saturday's UFC 279 was to give him the toughest possible matchup on the way out. That's why the organization made the matchup between him and Khazmat Chimaev.

But those plans came spiraling down when Chimaev unprofessionally missed weight by 7.5 pounds. Immediately, the bout was scrapped because of the weight discrepancy. Scrambling, the UFC made the best fight possible and it's a great one as Diaz takes on former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson in the main event from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Since tapping out Conor McGregor at UFC 196 that made him a megastar, Diaz's gone 1-3. In his last time out at UFC 263, Diaz was moments away from stopping current champion Leon Edwards before ending up losing a wide decision.

Meanwhile, after tearing through the competition in the 155-pound division, going on an 11-fight winning streak and winning the interim belt, Ferguson's fallen on hard times in losing four in a row.

But the fan favorite now gets the chance to headline his first UFC pay-per-view against one of MMA and sport's marquee attractions.
