In an unexpected turn of events, MMA stalwarts Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal are set to reignite their rivalry tonight in a unique pugilistic showdown at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Dubbed the ‘Last Man Standing‘ event, Diaz and Masvidal will square off in a boxing ring instead of the familiar octagon setting where they previously clashed in UFC 244.
The undercard bouts have already showcased gripping action with Devin Cushing delivering a powerful performance to claim victory over Manny Correa in an intense matchup. Additionally, Lopez managed to secure a commanding win against Sanches, and Costa emerged triumphant over Dunn with a second-round knockout.
Vargas‘ impressive victory over Garcia earlier in the night set the stage for the much-anticipated headlining fight between Diaz and Masvidal. Vargas employed strategic body shots and deft uppercuts to secure a sixth-round stoppage over Garcia, demonstrating his prowess in the ring.
Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal, who are both seasoned UFC veterans with a rivalry that transcends the norm, are now poised to settle their score in boxing once and for all. Diaz’s recent foray into boxing saw him square off against Jake Paul, resulting in a unanimous decision loss for the MMA star, while Masvidal displayed his boxing acumen with a previous victory.
Despite Diaz’s slight physical advantages in height and reach, Masvidal enters the matchup as the favored contender with his superior boxing acumen evident throughout their respective careers. Masvidal’s boxing prowess is further underlined by his status as the favorite in the betting odds, emphasizing the anticipation surrounding the clash.
