NEW YORK -- The UFC 244 main event in Madison Square Garden on Saturday to crown the first -- and likely only -- "BMF" champion between fan-favorites Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz gave the fans everything they'd been salivating for in a dream main event for three action-packed rounds. That action, mainly produced at the hands of Masvidal, would end up changing the tune very quickly as the brutal damage he inflicted to the right eye of Diaz brought a stop to the historic match early. Heading into Round 4, the cage side doctor ran back in to give a second look to the battered eye of Diaz and called a stop to the bout, giving Masvidal the TKO victory and the "BMF" championship.
Afterwards, when pegged about running it back after the disappointing result, Masvidal, was adamant that these two need to see other inside the Octagon in the near future.
"I told Nate right now ... let's run it back," Masvidal said. "I don't like to leave the ring like this with my opponent conscious."
Masvidal dominated the fight nearly from start to finish, connecting with a combination in the first round that floored Diaz and opened the floodgates of damage. The cut over the right eye only worsened as the rounds went on, leading to the stoppage just as Diaz believed he was about to really get the gears going on the comeback.
"I was f---ed because I had a cut ... I didn't think they were going to stop it. I was just getting started," Diaz proclaimed after the fight.
Though not the desirable outcome by any means, we, at the very least, were afforded a glimpse of the chaos that could ensue when these two meet one another inside the cage. Running this one back would surely be welcomed by all sooner rather than later.
