Indecision is the correct word for Jorge masvidal. Amidst controversies with Conor McGregor, 'Jesus das Ruas' found a new enemy on the UFC roster. This time, the veteran decided to momentarily 'forget' the exchange of barbs with the Irishman and set his sights on Nate diaz. The athlete criticized the 'bad boy' and offered to face the athlete in the last fight of his contract with the company.

“Normally, I don't side with the UFC, as you know, but from what I've seen and heard, this guy (Diaz) has a very big ego. Let's fight. I can send him away in the last fight of his contract”, said Masvidal, in an interview with 'The MMA Hour'.

At a difficult time in his career, with three consecutive defeats, Jorge guarantees that he would be successful in a new clash against Nate. The athletes faced each other in 2019, competing for the 'BMF' belt.

“I wouldn’t mind breaking his jaw and sending him away to whatever casino he’s going to fight in next,” he concluded.

In the first meeting with Diaz, Jorge got the better of him. Aggressive, the veteran didn't give 'bad boy', and won with a knockout (medical stoppage) in the third round.
