Returning to combat sports this weekend in a rematch against fellow UFC alum, Nate Diaz, former title challenger, Jorge Masvidal has staked his claim once more for a grudge fight with current welterweight champion, Leon Edwards upon his planned Octagon return.
Masvidal, the inaugural symbolic BMF champion under the banner of the UFC and a former two-time welterweight title challenger, is slated to make his return to combat sports tomorrow in Anaheim, taking on the above-mentioned, Diaz in a professional boxing rematch.
First fighting the Stockton native back in 2019, Masvidal landed the inaugural BMF crown with a third round doctor’s stoppage win over Diaz, after opening a significant laceration on his right eyebrow in their Madison Square Garden headliner.
