The wait is almost over.
Ever since Nate Diaz called out Jorge Masvidal to crown the UFC’s biggest gangster, fight fans all over the world have salivated over the prospect of seeing two of the baddest dudes on the planet go head-to-head.
Diaz returned to the Octagon in fine form in August delivering a blood-and-cuts brawler’s classic in a decision win over Anthony Pettis. It had been three longs years since Diaz last fought in the UFC, but he sure as heck didn’t fight like it.
Masdival’s prominent rise from being the hardcore fight fan’s favorite to becoming one of the hottest MMA names in the world came after he delivered the fastest knockout in UFC history over previously unbeaten Ben Askren in July.
