This Saturday, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal will compete for the eminently meaningful ‘BMF’ belt in the main event of UFC 244. Everyone is talking about it, especially Jorge Masvidal. But no one seems to be talking about one of the more fascinating fights slated for the same card.
Stephen Thompson vs Vicente Luque is one of the more tantalizing style match-ups available in the welterweight division. With a 10-2 record in the UFC (all but one of those wins a finish), Vicente Luque is the coming man at 170 pounds. The guy he’s facing, on the other hand, is surely well into the back half of his MMA career.
