Jorge Masvidal has been crowned as the Baddest MF in the UFC after an epic fight with Nate Diaz at UFC 244 but does that make UFC fans happy? Apparently not. The much-awaited clash was planned to be a five-round fight but it ended up in three rounds, while both the men were eager to drag it further. Masvidal clearly landed some huge shots early in the match and the doctor dismissed the fight after Nate Diaz faced severe cuts on his face. UFC fans were really disappointed with the stoppage along with Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal but there’s surely a ray of hope. We might see both the men run it back in future as that’s what the BMF Jorge Masvidal wants atleast.
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”.
"I told Nate right now 'I swear we're running it back!' I don't like to leave the ring with my opponent conscious!"

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.
UFC 244: What happens with BMF?
BMF was a one-time belt and president Dana White had earlier said that the winner of the belt won’t get the privilege of defending it. Well, Jorge Masvidal is officially the BMF now and there is no official statement whether he would defend the belt in a re-match or not. In the meantime, Conor McGregor had his eyes on the winner of BMF and he had started his beef game on social media. Let us see what’s in store for the future of the BMF (Baddest Mother FU***r).
