gangster” showdown instead of challenging division kingpin, Kamaru Usman. Diaz has stuck to his word since saying world titles isn’t his bag, opting to call for a “gangster vs. A few weeks later, the fight was made, proving that Diaz is indeed a “needle mover” and calling his shots is something he can now do. After his win over “Showtime,” the Stockton slugger wasted no time in calling for his next fight, challenging Masvidal, who was sitting in the crowd. It was perhaps one of Diaz’s best performances inside the Octagon, made even more impressive since Diaz hadn’t fought in nearly three years. Made up gimmicky belt aside, the fight is an interesting one to say the least.ĭiaz made his triumphant return to action a few months ago, defeating Anthony Pettis at UFC 241 via unanimous decision.

IMO it needs to be Erb with some explicit instructions, or they need to go find Yves wherever he's at.Up Next! BMF Belt In Big Apple! UFC 244 Predictions, Preview, And Analysis What’s Hot: If I were to bet anything, I'd bet that it goes more than 2 rounds and less than 5. This fight ends with KO, sub, or doctor stoppage for injury. I think both of these guys want the BMF belt more than they ever wanted a UFC belt or any other fight trophy. If they scheduled to fight 3 different times in one year, I'd bet Diaz for best two out of three. I think Diaz is the better overall fighter. He beat a hungry MJohnson, subbed McGregor on short notice, then took McGregor to a draw (in my book), then Pettis. Then the Askren fight basically didn't happen.ĭiaz also experienced and fast. Then he legitimately beat Till even after getting wasted by an early leftbomb. He beat Cowboy and then lost to Maia BJJ and Thompson karate.

He still has incredible hand speed and good chin. I was really pumped when I lost that bet.
