The highly anticipated boxing match between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal reignites one of the most intense rivalries in combat sports. Their feud peaked at UFC 244 in November 2019, where Masvidal defeated Diaz by TKO in the third round to claim the token “BMF” (Baddest Mother F***er) title.
The BMF belt, while not an official UFC championship, held immense pride and bragging rights in the ultra-competitive world of mixed martial arts. Masvidal’s devastating victory over Diaz cemented his status as one of the most feared and respected fighters in the sport.
However, Diaz has never been one to back down from a challenge. The Stockton native has built a reputation as a relentless warrior with an indomitable spirit. Despite the defeat, Diaz’s determination to settle the score with Masvidal has only grown stronger with time.
On July 6, The Honda Center in Anaheim will host one of the most anticipated combat sporting events of the year.
