Breaking: Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal will HEADLINE UFC 244 on Nov. 2 in NYC, per Dana White. (Brett Okamoto)
Heerlijk veel geweld
Per White, fans were bullish on seeing this fight. He intends to make a special BMF belt for the winner. He said it had be five rounds, but too big for a UFC Fight Night.
There will NOT be any title fights booked to UFC 244 under Diaz vs. Masvidal, per White. He didn’t want a title fight to be a co-main to a non title bout.

Hahaha, ik ben erg benieuwd hoe die Baddest MotherFucker belt eruit gaat zien
It's okay to be white
Dit zijn de partijen die we helaas te weinig zien. Daar moet je Combatguy toch gelijk in geven het ranking gebeuren is veel te belangrijk geworden. Dit zijn gasten die gewoon komen om te knokken en een mooie partij willen neerzetten. Gelukkig met Cowboy vs Geathje en deze partij weet je gewoon van te voren dat het vuurwerk gaat worden.
Helwani:
The fight got finalized yesterday afternoon, and Dana White just confirmed it to @bokamotoESPN. They tried to originally make it a couple of weeks ago but were far apart on numbers. Then they tried to book Usman v Covington but negotiations stalled with Covington.
Then they tried to do Usman vs Masvidal but after Masvidal agreed they couldn’t come to terms with Usman. In fact, things got so bad with Usman that they threatened to strip him and pulled all his guest fighter duties in Abu Dhabi.
At that point, they reached out to Leon Edwards to see if he do a vacant title fight versus Masvidal. Those talks didn’t get very far because in the midst of all of that (around Wednesday night) talks reignited with Diaz. By Thursday night it was looking very promising.
And then after an intense day of negotiations, they got the deal done yesterday afternoon.
Five round main event. No title (except the BMF title, of course). MSG.
This is a blessing disguise for Usman and Covington. No word on what they’ll do with them at this time but this gives them a chance to reset and book that fight later. That’s the fight that needs to happen but those talks haven’t re-started yet.

Zo is dat ff lekker zeg deze pot!
Is alweer tijdje geleden dat ik me wekker heb gezet voor UFC maar ik stel hem alvast in.
Lekkah
Masvidal heeft op Twitter of insta gevraagd of the Rock ze belt wil omdoen als die wilt.
Breaking: Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson vs. Vicente Luque has been added to UFC 244 on Nov. 2 in NYC, per Dana White. Wonderboy wanted to return to MSG and Luque, 10-2 in the UFC, hails from nearby New Jersey. Fun matchup at 170. Brett Okamoto
Heerlijk
More news on UFC 244 in NY: The Darren Till vs. Kelvin Gastelum matchup will officially serve as the co-main event. Main event, of course, Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal for the coveted BMF title.

Toch vreemd, Till tegen Gastellum hoort main te zijn
Hoezo niet, jullie willen toch Ko's zien?
Ik volg de UFC niet echt maar Diaz-Masvidal ga ik wel kijken. Die andere twee die jij opnoemt ken ik niet eens.
Weet je meteen waarom het marketing technisch de enige juiste keuze is om Diaz-Masvidal de headline te maken. Die partij trekt veel meer kijkers dan die pot van jou.
Ik hoop dat die bmf belt echt super lelijk wordt, dat zou wel grappig zijn
