Damn. Dana straight up said he doesn't want to give Nate the rematch right now. Nate was right.

[@xxka0tikkxx]

"Right away". Not only that of course hes gonna say that and make people want it more. Although Jorge definitely deserves to fight for the title. Not gonna take that away from Jorge at all. He put in work and if it was a 3 roundd fight Jorge would have won on points alone. So, yeah. Overall either way both these guys are great fighters.

The ufc only views it from a business perspective, does it make sense to do that fight right away no

[@AlwaysBonpoint]

@@xxka0tikkxx Just look what this sets up though...., A fight with the winner of Usman vs Colby. Personally I want Usman to smash Colby but I would also love to watch Masvidal beat Colby up.

[@MAKJAMSENTERTAINMENT]

I Agree, but maybe he's thinking along the lines of title shot, or McGregor - McGregor vs Masvidal does huge numbers, plus the loser could rematch Diaz so best of both worlds.

@@AlwaysBonpoint gotta stop you right there. I dont think Jorge can beat Colby.

[@bradleythomsen3083]

I hope everyone appreciates Masvidal after this. In the fight of his life he was still aware of what diaz is capable of, even after a 3 round domination. Hats off to him for offering the deserved rematch. It's a shame so many fools watched this fight and assumed diaz was done.

Dana "we'll see what happens" White

[@bigmedie]

Diaz could have went blind if the fight continued. .. one punch in the cut and he mite never see again good call from the ref good fight both warriors

[@Ritalie]

Diaz looked awful at the end of that 3rd round, he had blood in his eyes, and was wiping his eyes a lot while he was fighting. Blood was shooting out of the cut too, I saw it squirting out as he was walking past the camera. Honestly, it wasn't worth letting him continue, it's not worth risking your health. Diaz is already rich, and is already a superstar. He didn't lose any stock.

[@isaacakindipe3177]

The referee deserves praise even an award. If the fight continues, Nate may never be the same and his left eye might have been dangerously damaged

[@reubenbell1980]

Isaac Akindipe The Ref didn’t stop the fight my dude.

[@georgephillips3794]

Great fight. I think Jorge would have won it. Probably all 5 rounds. But you can't say the way it ended was right. Look at Tyson Fury's cut a few weeks back. Crazier comebacks have happened. Even recently, DC vs Stipe. Cormier won 2 or 3 of the rounds, but Stipe stopped him in the 4th. We just never know with MMA.

Stipe Vs. Cormier seems like a terrible idea. Stipe literally lost every round of the fight, Cormier just didn't care about anything, his father had died a few days before the fight. Cormier held his head straight in front of Stipe, and didn't even try to block the punches being thrown at him. Stipe still got beat up pretty bad.

[@honestlee9921]

Here’s the best part about this card both Diaz and Jorge still win. Yes stupid stoppage but yes Jorge is a beast. This fight was basically Conor and Nate 1 and 2 only the doctor ruined it.

[@mustseenow991]

They just had to stop the fight just before Diaz was about to get good in rounds 4 and 5. They always snaked Diaz

[@ssheeessh]

Although I agree Jorge had a lot to worry about in those later rounds, that was a VERY serious cut. You need to know that Nate's upper eyes has a lot of scar tissue, and that cut that opened is a pre-existing condition. I want to see Nate have his McGregor trilogy, and I want the BMF rematch. Without that stoppage, we might not have had either.. Regardless, Jorge won 3 rounds and Nate NEEDED a submission to win; nothing to be too mad about my friend.

[@Samm95Onoq]

when ever did Diaz win the 4th and 5th? its ok to be a fan. its not ok to be delusional

[@MrTiton536]

Samm Q the exact same scenario vs Conor. Lol he got dominated for three rounds then finished his opponent. Not the first time he has done that. It’s pretty normal for him in fact. It’s why he has problems with decisions in 3 round fights

[@Alexwhatisit]

Masvidal won't fight for the title title, this is all a set up for Masvidal to fight Connor. Cause Connor doesn't want to fight for anything less then a belt, so why not just make one up for him to fight for and win? I dont expect him to win but I do expect him to fight for the belt.

The reason Dana doesn’t wanna make the fight again is Bc they can’t. The ufc can’t make a PPV main event 5 rds without it being a title fight. Which is why they made the BMF belt in the first place. But he said it was a 1 time thing if they make the rematch for the bmf belt then everyone is going to want to fight for it. We’re all in for it lol but idk why the UFC isn’t.

[@Samm95Onoq]

Conor/Diaz 1&2 could disagree with you

[@mre1995]

They absolutely can, there's no rule that PPV main events have to be a title fight. Just because they had this belt doesn't mean it was a title fight, just a damn good fight for the fans.

[@aguillon420]

mre1995 nah I’m like 99% sure under espn they can’t make ppv events 5rds unless it’s a title fight. If masvidal and Nate fight again it’ll have to be for the MW title. I hope I’m wrong tho lol
