Nate Diaz vs Jorge Masvidal fight: Fight card, Main event and streaming details

Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal are set to face off in a highly anticipated 10-round light heavyweight boxing match at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, this Saturday. Originally scheduled for June 6, the fight was postponed to avoid clashing with other major UFC events, thereby heightening the excitement and ensuring a larger audience for the "Last Man Standing" boxing match.

A Rematch with High Stakes

The upcoming bout marks the second encounter between the two former MMA fighters. Diaz and Masvidal first met in a memorable UFC fight in 2019 at Madison Square Garden, competing for the inaugural BMF (Baddest Motherf***r) championship. The intense match was cut short by medical personnel due to a cut above Diaz's eye, resulting in a win for Masvidal, as mentioned in a report by USA Today. This history sets the stage for a thrilling rematch.
