7 – UFC Fight Night – April 2 - Nate Diaz Wsub2 Kurt Pellegrino

But what made this special was Diaz’ unfiltered joy when he knew he had Pellegrino. And as he thrust his fists in the air while his legs did the rest of the work, fight fans got to see the next step in Diaz’ maturation as a fighter.
I would have to pick this one
