UFC: Nate Diaz vs Jorge Masvidal - Part 2?
After the doctor deemed Nate Diaz unfit to continue the match, Jorge Masvidal went towards Diaz and promised him a re-match. Nate Diaz is surely one of the toughest fighters in UFC and despite having two severe cuts near his eye, he was ready to take on the fight. However, the doctor decided that it would be too risky to continue the fight and Masvidal was tagged as the winner while both the men shared the same dread. After the fight, Masvidal went towards Nate and said “I swear we’ll be running it back man. You gave me the love and I swear I’ll give it right back, let's run it back”.
According to the BMF Jorge Masvidal, he doesn’t like to leave the ring with his opponent conscious. In his last two fights, Masvidal had spectacular knockouts again Darren Till and the undefeated (then) Ben Askren. Masvidal knocked out both the men cold and his five seconds K/O against Askren is still the fastest knockout in UFC history. He wanted to baptize Nate Diaz in a similar manner but could not do it. Thus, Masvidal wants to run it back with Nate in future and UFC fans might get blessed with Nate Diaz vs Jorge Masvidal 2.
