Leon Edwards and Nate Diaz v made history on Saturday at UFC 263, fighting the first five-round bout to ever take place inside the octagon that was neither a main event nor a championship contest.
In the end, Edwards (19-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) was dominant, taking a unanimous decision in the welterweight bout at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz. The 25-minute window benefitted Diaz (20-13 MMA, 15-11 UFC), however. It allowed him to stage a nearly miraculous comeback in the final minute of the fifth round.
It didn’t happen, though, and now Diaz is on a two-fight losing skid while Edwards is unbeaten over his past 10 octagon appearances.
