Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz was exactly what was advertised at UFC 244.
The two fighters met in a welterweight bout on Saturday night (November 2nd, 2019) at the UFC 244 pay-per-view event from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.
Although the fight ended early, it was exactly what you thought would happen as it was a slugfest that saw Masvidal drop Diaz once in the first round and a second time in the following round. Diaz had a large cut on the side of his right eye.
After the third round, the doctor stopped the fight due to the cut that Diaz had. Masvidal was awarded the TKO win and the BMF Title.
