Masvidal said, “I almost damn near killed him [Nate Diaz], I beat him an inch within his f**king skinny life. You saw his last fight with Leon [Edwards], I was like, man, they make that mistake and put this guy in there with me again, you know?”
“That little f**king broomstick keeps talking, you’re going to have to go at some point…”
The BMF champion beat Nate Diaz very convincingly at UFC 244. However, the fight was stopped due to a doctor’s stoppage after the third round. Though Masvidal outclassed Diaz in the first three rounds, the Stockton native believes he would’ve changed the direction of the fight in the fourth and the fifth rounds.
