Jorge Masvidal on Saturday in New York claimed the symbolic BMF title with his technical knockout of Nate Diaz in the UFC 244 headliner at Madison Square Garden. Despite the disputed nature of the finish, Masvidal was undeniably impressive and appeared to be well on his way to a decisive victory, cut or no cut.
Meanwhile, Darren Till returned to the win column with a split decision over Kelvin Gastelum; Stephen Thompson put on a technical masterclass in route to a unanimous decision over Vicente Luque; Derrick Lewis edged Blagoy Ivanov via split decision; and Kevin Lee made an emphatic return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight division with a head kick knockout of Gregor Gillespie.
