Jorge Masvidal One Condition for Nate Diaz Rematch That Puts Leon Edwards & Jake Paul Fight in Jeopardy

There’s a high possibility that Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz‘s boxing fight that materialized just now will not be their final encounter. The duo has been indulged in a quite heated rivalry after their initial clash on UFC 244. Their initial clash ended in a doctor-stoppage TKO victory for Masvidal. Well, this was the last time when both the fighters clashed in MMA.

Both Diaz and Masvidal were released by the promotion last year. However, will they clash again at the grand stage of the Octagon ever again? Is it possible for them to clash in the UFC again? Well, let’s find out how.

Will there be a trilogy fight between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal?

Nate Diaz stunned Jorge Masvidal in their boxing fight. The Stockton native stunned the entire fighting world by defeating Masvidal by way of majority decision. The odds were against him as even the betting sites considered him an underdog, however, the reality is a bit different from what everyone else perceived. With this victory, their record now stands at 1-1 but wait is it the conclusion or there will be another show?

We͏ll, it’s ͏͏the t͏ruth͏ that͏ both͏͏ N͏ate͏͏ Diaz and Jorge Masvidal hav͏͏e been releas͏ed by ͏the promotion,͏ but what many͏͏ ͏peop͏͏le ͏m͏ay not kno͏͏͏͏w is that ͏bo͏͏th of them ͏stil͏l have ͏contra͏͏͏͏ct͏͏͏s with th͏e͏ ͏UFC that ͏are ongoing. Jorge Masvidal, while having a conversation with Michael Bisping confessed that he was allowed by the UFC to fight three times away from the promotion before coming back to UFC.

“They said one of the conditions [of boxing] is that I come back and do one fight for them in the UFC. So that’s the plan, come back, and definitely do another fight. From there, check the landscape out, and see if I’m staying in the UFC or more than likely, I’ll be coming back to boxing,” said Jorge Masvidal. ‘GameBred’ confessed that he wanted to clash against Leon Edwards but this defeat might be changing his plans for the future.

Well, Masvidal wants a fight at the UFC and it might be a Nate Diaz trilogy, however, what about Diaz? Is the Stockton native keen on fighting the Cuban in the Octagon again? Let us find out.

Diaz blames Dana White for failing to arrange a rematch between Masvidal

It’͏s undeniable that Nate Diaz is one of the biggest stars ever produced by the promotion. However, even Diaz doesn’t have authority o͏ver Dana Wh͏ite͏. Let’s elaborate: the Stockton native wanted a rematch with Masvidal in the Octagon itself, but it seems that White ͏had different plans for them. While having a conversation with ESPN, Diaz shed light upon the failed attempt by him for the rematch.

“I had a lot of convincing. I was like, why don’t we fight an MMA? Oh, he can’t fight MMA; he is not allowed. So I was like, well, as long as we get to go out there and settle some is the biggest deal outside the UFC for me. Because none of the boxers wants to box. Then UFC wants to lock me down forever. So it was the biggest fight. The biggest thing I can do at the moment,” said Diaz.

So the answer to the question, “Will there be a trilogy fight between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal?” is a bit complex. Do they want the fight? Yes, they do but will the UFC make the fight? We have to wait for that. What’s your take on the entire fiasco? State your thoughts in the comments below.
