MMA Community in Uproar Over Diaz vs. Masvidal: “A Disgrace”
Anticipated Comeback Stuns Fans Jorge Masvidal’s return to the fight scene was announced last night, marking a significant moment in combat sports. The 39-year-old UFC veteran is set to face former UFC star Nate Diaz in a boxing match on June 1st in Inglewood, California. The fight, with a weight limit of 79 kg, will be broadcast via pay-per-view at $49.99.
Masvidal’s Departure from UFC After a defeat by UFC veteran Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 last year, Masvidal opted to exit the leading MMA organization. The loss, coming after being outperformed by Burns over three rounds, was Masvidal’s second consecutive defeat, following a previous loss to ex-teammate Colby Covington.
Diaz’s Transition to Boxing Nate Diaz last competed in the UFC against former interim title contender Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 in 2022. A scheduled bout against Khamzat Chimaev was scrapped due to Chimaev’s failure to make weight, leading to Diaz’s boxing debut against YouTuber Jake Paul in August, a match Diaz lost by unanimous decision.

Well Masvidal and Diaz are promoting this themselves so I have to assume they are counting on PPV buys to fuel the money side. Obviously they'll get a bigger split but how much they make I'd imagine depends on how much the PPV makes.
