UFC 244 Preview
Though a traditional UFC championship belt won’t be on the line during Saturday night’s UFC 244, Jorge Masvidal vs Nate Diaz is still certainly one of the biggest fights of the year. Easily two of the most entertaining–and popular–fighters, these two put on a show every time they step inside the Octagon. And with the title of “Baddest Motherf–ker” on the line inside Madison Square Garden, you know it’s going to be an absolute brawl.
When you have The Rock handing out the belt to the winner, you know it’s going to be big. For both serious and casual fight fans, this is one you aren’t going to want to miss.
Diaz, following his two massive fights against Conor McGregor, returned to the Octagon after a three-year hiatus in August, defeating Anthony Pettis via unanimous decision at UFC 241. He recently explained the reasoning behind the extended absence to Joe Rogan:
“The reason I was off was because everybody sucks. There was nobody to fight. But with this belt, I want to defend it against Jorge Masvidal (who) had a good last fight, a good last fight. All respect to my man, but there ain’t no gangsters in this game anymore, there ain’t nobody that does it right but me and him. So I know my man’s a gangster, but he ain’t no west coast gangster.”
Diaz only tends to take fights against opponents who will make for the best fights, and Masvidal certainly fits the bill. The 34-year-old has won two in a row over Darren Till and Ben Askren, winning the latter with a record-setting five-second knockout at UFC 239.
Masvidal vs Diaz is worth the price of admission by itself, but there’s plenty of intrigue throughout the rest of the main card. In the co-main event, Kelvin Gastelum will take on Till in a battle of recent title contenders (Gastelum at middleweight and Till at welterweight. Till will make the leap to middleweight for his debut at 185 pounds in this one) looking to get back on track.
Other fights on the main card include: Stephen Thompson vs Vicente Luque at welterweight, Derrick Lewis vs Blagoy Ivanov at heavyweight and Kevin Lee vs Gregor Gillespie.
This is always the case for New York cards, but it’s going to be a very entertaining night of fights inside MSG.
