Video: Nate Diaz releases vlog on chaotic UFC 279 fight week from behind the scenes

Nate Diaz had a camera crew with him throughout what was possibly his final UFC fight week.

Diaz (21-13 MMA, 16-11 UFC), who was originally supposed to fight Khamzat Chimaev in the UFC 279 main event this past weekend, finished out his promotional contract with a fourth-round submission of Tony Ferguson after the entire lineup shuffled on one days’ notice due to a Chimaev weight miss.

From the pre-fight press conference cancellation due to backstage altercations to the morning of weigh-ins when Diaz discovered Chimaev would come in heavy and his opponent was switched and beyond, the fan-favorite fighter from Stockton, Calif., had his team film everything that unfolded.

Diaz released his “Road 2 War” video blog on Tuesday with all the footage, and you can watch it all above.
