What happens next after Jorge Masvidal’s win over Nate Diaz is a major issue after one of UFC’s best shows of the year this past Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
Masvidal gave Diaz a terrible beating for three rounds; I had rounds 1 and 2 as 10-8s for “Gamebred.” Diaz, to his credit, is as tough as they come. He never broke and repeatedly escaped from positions where Masvidal would have finished most fighters.
Even after the beating, it didn’t appear that Diaz’s star power had taken any kind of a hit.
