Former two division champ Conor McGregor was watching last night\u2019s UFC 244 main event between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal with keen interest.<\/p>\n

After all, the winner of yesterday’s highly anticipated headliner would be awarded the promotions new BMF Title (Baddest Mother F*cker).<\/p>\n

After having two sensational fights with Conor McGregor in 2016, Nate Diaz (20-11 MMA) made his long awaited return to action at August’s UFC 241 event, where he scored a unanimous decision victory<\/a> over former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis.<\/p>\n

\"Nate<\/p>\n

Following his impressive victory over ‘Showtime’, the Stockton Native called for a fight with Jorge Masvidal, this to determine who is the ‘baddest mother*cker’ in the UFC.<\/p>\n

Masvidal (34-13 MMA) entered last night\u2019s main event on the heels of a record-setting<\/a> first round knockout victory over Ben Askren in his most recent Octagon<\/a> appearance at UFC 239 this past July.<\/p>\n

The spectacular flying knee finish served as ‘Gamebred’s’ second knockout victory in a row, as he had previously starched Darren Till at UFC London.<\/p>\n

Last night\u2019s highly anticipated UFC 244 main event lived up to the hype as Diaz and Masvidal proceeded to go to war right from the opening bell.<\/p>\n

\u2018Gamebred\u2019 was able to get the better of Diaz in the early going, dropping the Stockton native on multiple occasions while opening up some cuts on the fan favorite fighter.<\/p>\n

In between rounds three and four the cage side doctor came in to assess the cuts. After a close look he deemed Nate Diaz was unfit to continue and the fight was called off.<\/p>\n

It was an anticlimactic finish to what was a terrific main event battle.<\/p>\n

Excellent job Greg. Robbed of a classic there we were.
Cutmen in the corner must be more assertive when a fighter must stay still. Between rounds 1 and 2 a crucial moment of repair was missed due to movement.
Either way, solid fighting and onto the next… Me.<\/p>\n
