Another MK Monday is coming in hot as Luke and Brian breakdown a big weekend of boxing. In the squared circle, MMA stars Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal battled once again with Nate Diaz squeezing out a decision victory. Are fans right that Masvidal's activity and power should've yielded him the nod? The boys rank the top 5 possible boxing crossover matchups. Also, Shakur Stevenson made Artem Harutunyan look like a sparring partner, but fans walked out before the bout was even over. Now that Shakur is a free agent, where is his stock in the sport? Also, in MMA, what’s the most underappreciated storyline heading into UFC Denver?

I didn't hate the shakur fight either. But at the same time u gotta finish guys like that.

[@donjohnson5172]

Was BC legitimately delivering pizzas for door dash after the fall of showtime?

[@tristhekid]

I can’t see anyone beating Shakur. He didn’t get the finish but it wasn’t for lack of trying. I do wish he’d combo punch a little more and open up with a level of viciousness but the defence is one of the best out there today, the speed, timing and shot selection are incredible. As close to perfect as you can get so far.

[@Drakaris9x]

Andrade HAS to be in the female BMF fight

[@estvii-viiimichaellobo7382]

B🐕C you 🇺🇸Alph , I too agree with Lukeito MyG you Killed it Saturday night in the O.C.

[@fadya.3660]

Two points: 1. BC you did awesome this weekend. Great Job. 2. Masvidal should have won. The commentators were all over Nate Diaz the entire fight even though Masvidal was clearly landing the better shots. Artificial volume apparently carries way too much weight in the eyes of the judges. There were 6 rounds that I felt were close enough where I wouldn't be surprised if it went either way, so seeing the scorecards so widely in favor of Nate isn't absurd, just a matter of how the 10pt must system is flawed in portraying who won a fight and by how much. In reality, a close fight can be scored 5-6 points apart with a clear decision being only 2-3 rounds apart and it would make sense.

[@drag0..]

The right guy won but yeah it could’ve been judged a little closer

[@jmoneyp4p]

Conor vs Nate 3 in the ring is the way to go. I can see Nate overwhelming and stoping Conor late like Floyd did lol

[@clipsofmma]

Yep. Nate won

[@vinceventura4453]

Oh my god don’t ever give your opinion again . Nate landed less , threw more , and got rocked twice a round . Walking forward touching people with shots that (and I’m not joking) my little sister could have ate without a problem . Nate got his ass kicked , he’s awful at boxing , he’s awful at mma , he’s decent at bjj and he can take a beating that’s his level of skill .

Both deserves to be inducted into the boxing hall of fame for this fight unlike other boxers mostly giving us boring fights.

[@Faircloughcff]

These guys talking about Jake Paul so much is wild

[@MrDaltontrumbo]

Jake is much too big for Conor. Conor's power did not translate up weight classes in MMA, i.e. he was not 1 punch KO'ing people outside of FW and meaning that he's not getting Jake out of there early. Add that to 10oz gloves and Jake's youth. Jake prob finishes Conor somewhere in the middle rounds when Conor starts to gas.

BC, boring doesn’t mean technical 😂 how tf has Jake Paul ever had a technical fight?. Also I don’t get how people are surprised with Nate’s cardio when he puts no effort into his shots. Look at someone like Ponce and the output he had against not only Matias but Also against Ritson. Completely different and it’s more impressive with Ponce because there is meaning in almost every shot. It’s not that impressive when Nate does it and I love Nate. The Gomi fight in the UFC and the Cowboy fight were both incredible.
