UFC 244 is quite a historic night for mixed martial arts. The November 2nd card at Madison Square Garden will be headlined by the first “baddest motherf—ker” title fight between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz.
Also happening on the same night is the WBO light heavyweight title fight between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Sergey Kovalev, which takes place in Las Vegas on DAZN. And for UFC president Dana White, going head-to-head against his event isn’t such a good idea.
“The night we started talking about this date, then a week later I heard they were gonna do that fight,” White said during the UFC 244 press conference last week.
