Jorge Masvidal is a sizeable betting favorite to defeat Nate Diaz in their boxing match on June 1.
It was announced on Wednesday that Diaz and Masvidal would box on June 1 at 175lbs at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The event will be carried on pay-per-view by Fanmio for $79.99, with an early price of $49.99 available until April 12.
In the announcement of the boxing fight, Jorge Masvidal had full confidence he would go out and beat Nate Diaz again. Of course, the two fought back at UFC 244 in November of 2019 and it was Masvidal who won by doctor stoppage.
“Nate’s a dead man walking,” Jorge Masvidal said in a statement about Nate Diaz. “I can’t wait to prove that last time was no fluke. He got saved by the referee. Now we are boxing, which he says is his forte, but he’s got no shot at beating me. I’m not going to give him an inch in that ring to even breathe. If he thought our MMA match was bad, this is going to be much worse. I’m going to drown him. I want to put away any talk that him and I are the same, or that the referee saved the day. All of that talk ends June 1. Violence and throwing hands are in both of our bloods but as I proved before, I’m a far superior athlete and I’m a meaner fighter. When June 1 comes I’ll put all unanswered questions to rest, live for the world to see.”
Now, following the fight being announced, odds have been released for the bout that sees Jorge Masvidal as the sizeable betting favorite to defeat Nate Diaz.
