Nate Diaz nearly pulled it off.
The Stockton star was beaten for four straight rounds at UFC 263, only for him to land a huge bomb in the fifth that nearly saw Edwards put away, only for the Englishman to be saved by the clock. As always, plenty of fighters were watching the enigma that is Diaz.
Check out what the pros had to say:

There’s no feints from Nate Diaz rn. It’s making it easy for Edwards to keep his eyes peeled open to see every clear attack Diaz is throwing. #UFC263
