Darren Till took on MMA fighter Mohammed Mutie in an exhibition clash after partying ways from the UFC. The veteran UFC fighter surprised everyone with his impressive boxing skills. Till won the fight via a TKO, but it later turned into a brawl after Mutie tried to attack him after the fight was over. However, it seems that he has now shifted his focus towards Diaz. He took to his Instagram account to show his willingness to fight the 39-year-old. Darren Till’s boxing career started with a chaos but it seems he is now serious about his next fight.

Diaz, on the other hand, is fairly new to boxing with only two professional fights under his belt. However, his performance against ‘Gamebred’ has caught the attention of many. The 39-year-old won the via decision and the judges scored the card as (95-95, 97-93, 98-92). Masvidal wasn’t quite impressed with the decision and felt he might have won the fight.

After levelling the score at 1-1 now, the fans want to see a third fight between them. Will the pair fight each other in the near future again ? Jorge Masvidal feels they can meet in the future but with only one condition.

‘Gamebred’ was upset when he spoke to the reporters during the post-fight press conference. According to the 39-year-old, he landed more hard punches than his opponent, which might have helped him win the fight. However, at the end of the day, the judges felt the Stockton Native did more to win the fight.  Masvidal was quick to comment on the decision and said, “I’m not someone that actually um does the professional scoring but I thought it was a pretty close fight felt the judges might have been a little bit off on the scorecard but congratulations Diaz.” Diaz entered the fight as an underdog but surprised everyone with his high-level boxing.

But what’s next for the pair going ahead? Both Masvidal and Diaz are currently out of a contract with the UFC but have shown their willingness to return soon. The fans now want to know whether they can see them in a future MMA clash for a trilogy fight. Masvidal was quick to answer the question and said, “I just feel that uh it didn’t go my way but whatever man um we’re one-on-one we could run it back in somewhere like Vegas make it new place and let’s throw down you know.” Reports suggest that Diaz has been offered a contract by the UFC after his boxing clash with Masvidal. ‘Gamebred’ on the other hand is under contract and will return to the UFC after his three boxing fights are over.
