UFC Welterweight Nate Diaz has taken a shot at the current BMF belt holder and fellow Welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal. Diaz took to Instagram to express his thoughts on Masvidal returning to the cage again in August or September.
Masvidal spoke to Boxing Express and revealed his plans of returning to the cage in the latter part of the summer, and ESPN MMA covered it on Instagram. They received a comment on the post from Diaz, which said, “B******* sellout.”
It’s no wonder that Diaz feels hard done by Jorge’s inactivity, as Nate has stated in multiple interviews that he wants to fight at least three times in 2021. He has also hinted at a fight against Dustin Poirier, but added that it would have to be at Welterweight.
Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal: An intense rivalry
Diaz and Masvidal have fought before at UFC 244 for the newly formed BMF title. Nate had called Masvidal out after showing some appreciation for the work that he was doing. They fought in the Madison Square Garden in front of a sold-out crowd.
Masvidal Vs Diaz 2019
The fight was pretty eventful, with Masvidal dominating in the earlier stages. However, Diaz always showed signs of coming back and getting stronger. Unfortunately, after three rounds, the fight had to be stopped due to a cut above Nate’s eye.
The doctor’s stoppage didn’t go down well with the crowd, and the fighter asked for a rematch in his post-fight interview. However, the UFC rejected it at the time.
The BMF title hasn’t been contested since then, and Nate hasn’t fought either. If Diaz and Masvidal are set to fight again, it will be one of the most anticipated matches of the year due to the first fight’s controversy.
There’s a genuine rivalry between the two fighters and also some respect, and if the first fight is anything to go by, fans will be lucky to see them fight again.

Leon Edwards has made it clear he’s ready for anybody now that Khamzat Chimaev is out of their UFC Fight Night headliner on March 13.
That includes Colby Covington, who UFC president Dana White on Friday pegged as the frontrunner to fight Edwards next month at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. However, the matchup is far from finalized.

Masvidal Vs Diaz 244
In the immediate aftermath of Chimaev’s withdrawal due to COVID-19 complications, Edwards made a big callout of Nate Diaz to take the fight. Diaz hit him with the stiff-arm, though, rejecting the Brit with a famous Conor McGregor meme (via Twitter):
Edwards didn’t think fondly of Diaz’s (20-12 MMA, 15-10 UFC) reply, and he let him know (via Twitter):
nate your photoshop skills are as bad as your fight record. and you used conor’s line wtf 😂
And finally, Edwards took aim at his longtime rival, Jorge Masvidal. The pair have a colorful history, with Masvidal infamously punching Edwards backstage after they both earned victories at a March 2019 event in London.
The card Edwards is hopeful to still headline in March is almost exactly two years to the day of the incident with Masvidal (35-14 MMA, 12-7 UFC). However, Edwards doesn’t seem optimistic about a resolution (via Twitter):
We all know that bitch Jorge will be nowhere to be seen when it comes to fighting me. 😂

Although the high profile fights appear to be plentiful for Edwards, it remains to be seen who, if anyone, will agree to get in the octagon with him one month from now.
