Jorge Masvidal Beats Nate Diaz at UFC 244 via TKO After Doctor Stops Fight

Jorge Masvidal officially earned himself the title of the baddest in the UFC with a third-round TKO win over Nate Diaz via doctor's stoppage in the main event of UFC 244 in Madison Square Garden on Saturday.

Because of a large cut on Diaz's right eye, the cageside doctor called an end to the action.

The 34-year-old welterweight just keeps racking up the high-profile wins, and his remarkable surge to stardom continues with a victory over Diaz. The win is Masvidal's 18th fight with the UFC, yet he is just now becoming a household name within the sport.
