ANAHEIM, Calif. – After months of build, [autotag]Nate Diaz[/autotag] and [autotag]Jorge Masvidal[/autotag] will have their final pre-fight press conference Wednesday ahead of their boxing match this weekend.
Diaz and Masvidal previously fought under the UFC banner at UFC 244 in November 2019. Masvidal earned a doctor’s stoppage TKO after the third round to claim the inaugural BMF belt, and a potential rematch has been discussed ever since.
It will finally happen Saturday, but in the confines of a boxing ring. The pair have been promoting the fight for weeks now, and have had four previous press conferences together – one of which ended in a wild brawl between teams.
The fifth presser goes down at the JW Marriott hotel in Anaheim starting at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT, and MMA Junkie will have a live stream of the festivities above.
Diaz vs. Masvidal will be contested at 175 pounds and is scheduled for 10 rounds. The event takes place at Honda Center and airs on Fanmio, DAZN PPV and UFC Fight Pass.
