Nate Diaz, the UFC legend, made a powerful statement after securing a long-awaited victory over Jorge Masvidal in a boxing match on Saturday night. The fight, held at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, saw Diaz outpoint ‘Gamebred’ over ten intense rounds, ultimately earning a majority decision victory in front of his hometown fans.

Diaz, 39, showcased his trademark relentless output and endurance, impressing the judges and the crowd alike. This victory was especially significant for Diaz, as it marked his revenge against Masvidal, who had defeated him in their first encounter under MMA rules five years ago.

Following his victory, Diaz wasted no time in calling out Jake Paul and UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards. Diaz, who had been knocked down by Paul in a previous bout last year, boldly declared his intent to defeat the YouTuber-turned-boxer. “I’m gonna beat Jake Paul’s f***ing ass,” he said emphatically during his post-fight interview.

Diaz also had a message for Leon Edwards, recalling their fight in 2021 where he had managed to wobble the Englishman. “My main objective has always been to be the best fighter in the world, so I wanna go back and get the UFC title. Leon Edwards, Jake Paul, and anybody the f*** else, you’re dead,” Diaz proclaimed, signaling his unwavering ambition and competitive spirit.

The bout between Diaz and Masvidal began with a surprise as Masvidal adopted a southpaw stance. Despite this unexpected tactic, Diaz quickly found his rhythm, dominating the first round. Masvidal retaliated in the second and third rounds with significant counter punches, but Diaz’s high volume of strikes kept him ahead.

Diaz’s confidence was evident in the fourth round when he feigned fatigue before landing a clean one-two combination on Masvidal. The fight continued to be a back-and-forth battle, with both fighters exchanging heavy blows and showing remarkable resilience.

The final rounds saw both men slugging it out, with Diaz maintaining a slight edge through his consistent output. The judges scored the fight 95-95, 97-93, and 98-92 in favor of Diaz, sealing his victory.

Diaz’s victory over Masvidal has reignited his career and set the stage for potentially explosive future matchups. His callouts to Jake Paul and Leon Edwards indicate that Diaz is far from done and is eager to prove himself against top-tier opponents in both boxing and MMA.

As Diaz continues to pursue his goal of becoming the best fighter in the world, fans can expect more thrilling performances and high-stakes bouts. Whether in the boxing ring or the UFC octagon, Nate Diaz remains a formidable and fearless competitor, ready to take on any challenge that comes his way.
