Jorge Masvidal open to matchup with Nick Diaz following KO loss at UFC 261

Jorge Masvidal will be taking some time to recover following his brutal knockout loss to Kamaru Usman at UFC 261, but the ‘BMF’ champ is open to fight Nick Diaz upon his return.

Diaz’ name came up at the UFC 261 post-fight presser in Jacksonville, Florida, after Dana White confirmed that the former Strikeforce welterweight champ will be making a comeback after a six-year hiatus.

Masvidal already holds a stoppage win over younger brother Nate and says it would be an honor to ‘throw down’ with Nick too.

“Definitely, Nick is a stud,” Masvidal told ESPN’s Ariel Helwani (h/t Jordan Ellis of Low Kick MMA).
