Nate Diaz will get his rematch against Jorge Masvidal in a light-heavyweight boxing match after losing to Masvidal in the cage at UFC 244.
Diaz, who is currently an MMA free agent, faces Masvidal, who retired from the UFC after losing his last fight against Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 on April 8, 2023.
Their first encounter in the Octagon made history. Former POTUS Donald Trump attended the fight, making it the first time a US President showed up to a UFC fight in it’s 30-year history.
Both fighters were eager to run it back immediately after their “BMF” title bout ended in a TKO (doctor’s stoppage) due to a Diaz cut. Albeit, an MMA rematch failed to materialize.
Now Diaz, 38, and Masvidal, 39 will lace up the boxing gloves in a “Last Man Standing” professional boxing fight.
Diaz owns an 0-1 record as a professional boxer. His only defeat came against Jake Paul by way of unanimous decision on August 5, 2023. The California native is hungry to get a victory in the boxing realm and silence critics.
As for Masvidal, the Florida native still has bad blood with Diaz after their MMA contest. He’s promised to “drown” the 19-year combat sports veteran and will be put to the test after one year away from action.
