Following last night’s decision win over fellow UFC alum, Jorge Masvidal, fan-favorite veteran, Nate Diaz has once more welcomed the chance to rematch current welterweight champion, Leon Edwards – labelling him the best 170lbs fighter on the planet currently.
Diaz, a former lightweight title challenger under the banner of the UFC, as well as a victor of The Ultimate Fighter – made his return to combat sports overnight in a light heavyweight boxing match against two-time foe, Masvidal.
And landing an impressive majority decision win over the Floridian veteran in their main event fight, Diaz – who scooped a disclosed $500,000 payday for his victory – also managed to net former two-time UFC opponent, Conor McGregor a staggering $1,625,000 pay out from the bookies, who placed a wager on him to win.
