There was just bad blood rather than drama on the scales as both
Nate
Diaz
and Jorge
Masvidal
successfully made weight for their 175-pound boxing
match.

The boxing pay-per-view main event will be a rematch of sorts,
despite taking place in a different martial art, as Diaz (21-13
MMA) and Masvidal (35-17 MMA) famously squared off in the main
event of UFC 244 for the inaugural BMF title. Masvidal would
ultimately get his hand raised via TKO, getting a doctor’s stoppage
in the third round. Both men made weight for the 175-pound limit
for the 10-round boxing match.

Diaz is 0-1 as a professional boxer. His debut took place last year
against former Disney star Jake Paul
(6-1). Paul won a clear unanimous decision and knocked Diaz down in
the fifth round. In mixed martial arts, Diaz most recently
submitted Tony
Ferguson
with a guillotine choke before exiting the UFC. Diaz
stepped on the scale at 175.6 pounds.

Meanwhile, Masvidal holds a 1-0 record a a professional boxer. The
lone boxing bout for „Gamebred“ took place in 2005 against Joseph
Benjamin (1-11-2). Masvidal walked away with a majority decision
win after four rounds of action. In MMA, the 39-year-old is coming
in with four straight defeats to Gilbert
Burns
, Colby
Covington
and twice to Kamaru
Usman
. The Miami native officially weighed 175.2 pounds.

Diaz vs. Masvidal will take place on pay-per-view on UFC Fight Pass
and Dazn at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
