Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal are among two of the toughest men in UFC. UFC 244 Masvidal vs Diaz is all set to be a main event which will see these two collide for the first time. Both the men are legit tough-guys and have proven their mettle over the years. This fight is technically a non-title main event, a rarity in UFC!
We call it ‘technically’ a non-title bout because there is a title which has specifically been created for the purpose of this fight: The BMF title. The winner of this fight would get to call himself the ‘Baddest Motherfucker’ in the company and would hence earn major bragging rights!
On the @LeBatardShow, Jorge Masvidal says he’s getting PPV points for the Diaz fight. First time in his career. So, not only is he headlining a PPV (at MSG, no loss) in a non-title fight (rare), he’s getting points, too. This is incredibly rare. Testament to how big this is.

Are Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz the “Baddest Motherfuckers” in UFC? I want you to ask yourself that question and answer honestly. Is this just to test the guys marketability? I’ve said before, the ESPN deal (plus good competition) seems to have led Dana White to try new things.
