Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz had previously headlined UFC 244 for the first-ever BMF title in November 2019. The pair engaged in a battle for three rounds before the doctor intervened and stopped the fight after serious cut on Diaz.
Five years later, Diaz is eyeing to take revenge on “Gamebred” for losing to him. They will square off in a ten-round professional boxing contest on June 1 in Inglewood, California, according to information released by Ariel Helwani earlier today.
Jorge Masvidal sends message
Jorge Masvidal spoke to Helwani for an interview on The MMA Hour shortly after the announcement and had this to say about the fight:
“I want to murder this guy. It’s nothing personal with him, but I want to beat the f*cking brakes off of him. He said the referee saved me [at UFC 244], I don’t think anybody with common sense would agree. So, I think this fight right here puts an end to all that bullsh*t. I’m going to be in the best shape of my life. I know he’s going to be in the best shape of my life.”
Masvidal continued:
“He knows that if he’s not in shape, I’m going to make him look bad and get him out of there in two rounds…I don’t play that sh*t, man. I’m trying to kill this motherf*cker. He knows it personally, he has the scars to prove it.”
