After almost five years of waiting, Nate Diaz finally got his redemption over Jorge Masvidal in a professional boxing ring. Diaz’s victory came in a 10-round match that saw competitive and back-and-forth action, ultimately ending in a majority decision in Diaz’s favor. It was a sweet victory for Diaz, avenging his third-round TKO loss to Masvidal back in November 2019.
Following his win over Masvidal, Diaz wasted no time in calling for two more rematches. He expressed his desire to face Jake Paul, who defeated him in boxing last year, and UFC champ Leon Edwards. Diaz made it clear that his main objective is to be the best fighter in the world and is eager to reclaim a UFC title. His confidence was evident as he declared, „My main objective is to be the best fighter in the world, so I want to go back and get a UFC title. Leon Edwards, Jake Paul and anybody else, you’re dead.“
On the other side of the ring, Masvidal expressed his disagreement with the scorecards and called for a third fight against Diaz. Despite Diaz’s victory, Masvidal believed he had landed the harder shots and made it known that he thought he won the match. Masvidal, who retired from MMA in April but has hinted at a possible comeback, seemed determined to settle the score with Diaz once and for all.
Throughout the 175-pound fight, Diaz delivered a classic performance that showcased his relentless pace and volume striking. While Masvidal may have landed the harder shots, Diaz’s durability and unyielding pressure proved to be his key weapons. Diaz’s notorious chin held up against Masvidal’s power punches, and his relentless pace kept Masvidal on his toes all night long. The match culminated in a flurry of punches exchanged between the two fighters until the final bell.
The event, co-promoted by Diaz’s Real Fight Inc. and Masvidal’s Gamebred Boxing, featured other well-known names from the combat sports world. Former UFC champion Anthony Pettis was among the fighters on the card, facing off against Diaz’s longtime teammate Chris Avila. The night was filled with high-intensity matchups and thrilling moments that kept the audience on the edge of their seats.
Nate Diaz’s victory over Jorge Masvidal in their boxing rematch was a testament to his resilience and determination. Despite Masvidal’s strong performance, Diaz’s relentless pace and unwavering spirit ultimately secured his redemption in the ring. As both fighters look towards the future, fans can expect more exciting matchups and intense rivalries to unfold in the world of combat sports.
