The fierce rivalry between Jorge masvidal e Nate diaz, former stars of UFC, gets a new chapter in a boxing ring on June 1st, at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The main fight of the “Last Man Standing” event, with ten rounds at a combined weight of 79,4 kg, promises to be an unmissable spectacle for combat sports fans.

In November 2019, in UFC 244, Masvidal beat Diaz via TKO, winning the symbolic BMF belt (toughest fighter). The rematch, now in boxing, brings a special flavor of revenge for the 'bad boy', while the 'Jesus of the Streets' has the chance to confirm his supremacy.

Both fighters even left the UFC recently. Nate diaz had his contract terminated and left as a 'free agent', while Jorge masvidal retired and began managing 'Gamebred FC', a bare-knuckle boxing event. The organization, however, granted special authorization for the North American to participate in the fight, given the magnitude of the event.
