Tony Ferguson took Hunter Campbell's car prior to accepting UFC 279 main event vs. Nate Diaz
While Dana White holds the ultimate vision for the UFC, it's Campbell's job to ensure things get done. When Khamzat Chimaev failed to make weight for his UFC 279 main event against Nate Diaz, Campbell spoke with Tony Ferguson about moving into the main event slot to face the Stockton native.
When Ferguson met with Campbell, he told him he does his 'best thinking behind the wheel.' To this, Campbell replied saying he didn't 'give a s**t about the car' and handed Ferguson the keys.
After about 45 minutes, Ferguson, and the car - a Bentley, returned, and the UFC 279 main event, Ferguson vs. Diaz, was made official. This is just one such instance in which Campbell pushed through, on an extremely tight deadline, to put together fights that keep fans excited, and keep the UFC pushing forward.
