Jorge Masvidal issues open challenge to Nate Diaz for BMF rematch on Twitter

The last few weeks have been particularly interesting for UFC fans. After UFC 249, Conor McGregor incited his UFC rivals on Twitter and a war of words then ensued. This exchange then led to a debate about who is the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in UFC history. Nate Diaz went on to throw his name in the mix as he claimed that he is the best pound-for-pound fighter, but BMF Jorge Masvidal ridiculed Nate Diaz’s claims and challenged ‘The Stockton Slugger’ to a rematch via Twitter this week. In the original contest at UFC 244, Jorge Masvidal unleashed complete and utter dominance over Nate Diaz to earn the BMF title. Though Nate Diaz went on to announce his retirement with a cryptic social media post after the fight, a rematch has been on the cards as UFC fans waited to experience Jorge Masvidal vs Nate Diaz 2. However, Nate Diaz is yet to respond to Jorge Masvidal’s offer.

UFC news: Jorge Masvidal calls out Nate Diaz for a rematch

After Nate Diaz billed himself as the number one pound-for-pound fighter on social media, Jorge Masvidal decided to taunt The Stock Slugger on Twitter this week. Masvidal mocked Nate Diaz by posting a picture from their original contest and advised him to improve his physique. Jorge Masvidal also called out Nate Diaz on Twitter by stating, “Let’s run it back.”

However, Nate Diaz has not yet replied to Jorge Masvidal’s offer. After failing to capitalise in the original contest, Nate Diaz vowed that he would square-off with Jorge Masvidal once again. Nate Diaz's elder brother Nick Diaz also expressed an interest in facing  Jorge Masvidal inside the UFC octagon. However, rumours of the fight materialising fizzled out in time. After this week's exchange on social media, the Jorge Masvidal vs Nate Diaz 2 rumours have once again come to the fore.
