#1: Nate Diaz's indestructible chin

Simply put, Nate Diaz might be indestructible. Jorge Masvidal and Diaz's fight in the main event of UFC 244 was something that everyone should have seen, and most probably did see. It was easy to see the level of domination that Masvidal brought to the fight in the early rounds. He was easily the better of the two fighters, dropping Diaz easily as if he were nothing.

In the very first round, Masvidal had already cut open Diaz's face — the same cuts that would later go on to bring about a premature stoppage to the fight. However, amidst the new BMF Champion's domination, something might have been missed by a lot of viewers; Nate Diaz was not staying down.

After his UFC career, Diaz might just have the perfect career set for him as a zombie on The Walking Dead, because just like them, he keeps on coming. Masvidal landed some insane shots on Diaz, but somehow or other, they did not really affect him enough to keep him down.

Not only was he not that badly affected, he simply kept on coming and firing shots of his own, leading to points where Masvidal was visibly frustrated and could be seen wondering what he would have to do to keep him down.

Other than that, a hilarious moment that many missed was Jorge Masvidal teasing the knee early on in the fight and then laughing about it.
