Former UFC fighter and "TUF Nations" winner Elias Theodorou is dead after a private battle with cancer. He was 34.

He went 3-0 after his departure, with his most recent win in December over Bryan Baker. Despite Theodorou’s lopsidedly successful UFC record (8-3), promotion president Dana White said the decision to part ways was based on the unlikelihood Theodorou would become a top-five fighter. His only three promotional losses came against perennial contenders Thiago Santos, Brad Tavares, and Derek Brunson.

Nate Diaz chokes out Tony Ferguson to end chaotic UFC 279 (Stockton Record)

Nate Diaz stopped Tony Ferguson with a guillotine choke early in the fourth round of the hastily arranged main event of UFC 279.

Diaz and Ferguson were paired in a fight long coveted by MMA fans but initially rejected by Diaz, while Chimaev was matched at a catchweight against Holland. “Because Conor McGregor didn’t know how to do it, and none of these other fighters know how to do it, so I’m going to go out there and I’m going to take over another organization, another profession, and become the best at that, and then I’m going to be right back here to get another UFC title. “At the end of the day, I love the UFC,” Diaz said. “I want to get out of the UFC for a minute and show these UFC fighters how to take over and own up another sport how you’re supposed to do it,” Diaz said. Diaz's desire to fight the vaunted Chimaev seemed foolhardy in a distinctly Diaz way, but the late matchup with Ferguson was much more competitive than the original booking likely would have been. Chimaev stopped Kevin Holland with a D'Arce choke 2:13 into the first round of their grudge match, which was also created after Chimaev (12-0) missed weight by 7 1/2 pounds on Friday morning.

He thought that the 37-year-old Diaz looked bad in his showing against Ferguson and even thinks that the man de defeated, Holland, would’ve run through Diaz.

UFC 279: Nate Diaz vs. Tony Ferguson - Fights to make (Bloody Elbow)

All the best, most interesting, and unquestionably coolest fights the UFC needs to book following their latest event in Las Vegas, NV.

Even though he didn’t get the finish, that set the tone for the rest of the bout and drove ‘Juicy-J’ on to a sweeping unanimous decision victory. After the bout, he told Joe Rogan that he wants to stay at heavyweight and wants to fight again on next month’s PPV. A surefire war and a great test for the ‘Prospect’, Wood vs. A badly, badly needed win for Johnny Walker in a fight that seemed to get off to a miserable start. That could mean the UFC goes for rematches with Ketlen Vieira or Raquel Pennington, or a fight with Pena if she’s not getting an instant title bout rematch. If he does wait, then the UFC better make damn sure they have a fill-in title fight opponent ready and waiting in the wings. Once he found his way to the D’arce setup he hung onto that choke and readjusted it over and over until he got the tap. That dynamic seemed bound for repetition in the third when Chiasson got Aldana down again and postured up over her to land heavy shots. An absolutely venomous man on the mats and a physical force that few opponents seem primed to deal with. A reminder that win or lose, Diaz is a lot of fun to watch and can absolutely command a crowd and hold their attention. Despite looking shaky in boxing exchanges all fight, Ferguson was quick to tell fans that he was “back” and feeling good—with just a few adjustments to make in the wake of this loss. Kevin Holland may have been a complete and utter route, but Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson had the most entertaining bout possible on a night when they were both set up to lose badly—and that’s a good thing.
