It’s been a while since we’ve seen Jorge Masvidal<\/a> and Nick Diaz competing inside the Octagon…could we see them return at the same time?<\/p>\n

Knowing both of the Diaz brothers, that’s probably a pretty unlikely fight to take. Low reward with high risk doesn’t seem like the kind of fights that Stockton’s finest have interest in these days but we never know.<\/p>\n

Surely, which is why fights like this get offered around as FrontRowBrian reports that this one has been.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/FrontRowBrian\/status\/1055265470708899840?s=19<\/p>\n

Another interesting news item today…. @GamebredFighter has been offered a fight with @nickdiaz209. Jorge has accepted. <\/em>
\nNo word yet from Nick. <\/em>
\nKeep in mind, Nick has been offered several fights since becoming eligible again. Declined them all.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Gamebred” Masvidal last fought at UFC 217 in November 2017 when he took on Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. Unfortunately\u00a0for Masvidal, he would suffer his second defeat in a row via unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

As for the former Strikeforce champion in Diaz, he has not fought since January 2015 when he took on Anderson Silva in a middleweight bout. Initially, Diaz lost by unanimous decision but after each fighter tested positive after the fight (Diaz for marijuana and Silva for\u00a0drostanolone and androsterone) it was overturned to a no contest.<\/p>\n

Prior to that bout, Diaz lost two welterweight title bouts to the likes of Carlos Condit (which was for an interim) and Georges St-Pierre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both Diaz and Masvidal have established themselves as two of the most fearless fighters in their division and stylistically a matchup between the two would be sure to deliver the excitement. But again, the Diaz’ have made it clear that they will generally need a lot to be offered to them for them to take fights nowadays.<\/p>\n

But hey, Demetrious Johnson and Ben Askren are being swapped between the UFC and ONE Championship<\/a> in 2018 so anything is possible.<\/p>\n
