The fight will be 10 rounds at welterweight, like they used to do in the UFC.
However, the ‘beef’ between both fighters has not been born overnight. In 2019, Nate challenged Masvidal after beating Anthony Pettis in the middle of the octagon and with the fighter with Cuban roots present among the public. All this came because Masvidal had beaten Ben Askren a month earlier con one of the most impressive knockouts in historyso it was the name of the moment.
No sooner said than done. Dana White got to work and By November of that same year, both fighters already had their dream fulfilled..

Dwayne Johnson himself was in charge of giving the belt to the winner, who It ended up being Masvidal after a medical stop between the third and fourth round due to Nate’s accumulated damage.
A fight in the ring that has been a long time coming

In fact, this fight was originally going to take place on June 2 but, Because it coincided with UFC 302 between Makhachev and Poirier, it was decided to postpone.
It’s doing what it’s supposed to do, but I’ve been doing it for a long time.
In the previous press conference, both have had unkind words for their rival as they usually do. “I hope he does what he has to do there. He has a good coach and he is doing what he is supposed to do in training, but I have been doing this for a long time“Declared Díaz.
Masvidal, for his part, avoided making the usual confrontation, and He left the press room ahead of schedule. The show is served, and all that remains is to know who will prevail once the bell rings.
