Nate Diaz vs Jorge Masvidal 2 LIVE: UK start time, undercard, PPV price and how to follow as UFC legends rematch in boxing ring

UFC legends Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal will take to the boxing ring tonight to settle their feud in stunning rematch in California.

The rivals fought at UFC 244 five years ago, with Masvidal coming out on top and winning the BMF (Baddest Motherf***er) belt.

But now, neither fighter is involved in MMA and in March, they announced that they will meet again in a ten-round boxing bout.

Both Americans have only ever boxed professionally once before, with Masvidal stepping into the ring for a majority decision victory over Joseph Benjamin in 2005 and Diaz losing to Jake Paul last year.

Diaz vs Masvidal was originally slated for June 1 but was put back to avoid clashing with Queensberry vs Matchroom’s 5v5 and UFC 302.

The talk is now over between the pair and they will soon meet under the lights.

Diaz vs Masvidal: What has been said?

“I sell pay-per-views for a living,” said Masvidal to ESPN.

“You don’t want to go up against other fight events and you definitely don’t want to go up against the UFC.

“I have been trying to switch the date from the beginning.”

On Diaz’s initial refusal to move the fight date, Masvidal added: “It just doesn’t make sense but he’s not a boxer and he doesn’t have a boxing fan base.

“The fanbase he has is from MMA, from the UFC. Why go up against our own fanbase? As a promoter, I never wanted to go against them.

“I know fans may buy both events but why do it if there are other dates available? Finally, the promotion heeded my advice and we were able to change dates.”
