Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal to Battle in the Ring

Masvidal Turns Aggressor Early in Diaz Match-Up

Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal, two highly-skilled MMA fighters, will trade the cage for the boxing ring on Saturday, July 6, at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The main event bout is sure to be a slugfest, as both men are known for their aggressive fighting styles.

Diaz, a Stockton, Calif., native, is known for his relentless pressure and high-volume punching. Masvidal, a Miami native, is a powerful striker with a knack for finishing fights with his fists.

The two fighters have met once before in the UFC, with Masvidal winning by decision in 2019. However, this time around, the fight will be under boxing rules, which could give Diaz an edge.

The fight is expected to be a close contest, as both fighters have their strengths and weaknesses. Diaz is the more experienced boxer, but Masvidal is the more powerful puncher.

It all comes down to who can impose their will on the other. If Diaz can keep the pressure on and wear Masvidal down, he could pull off the upset. But if Masvidal can connect with a clean shot, he could end the fight quickly.
