But this will mark Masvidal’s first professional boxing match. According to a report from Sportskeeda, Diaz and Masvidal are expected to earn $500,000 each for the bout.
The boxing match between Diaz and Masvidal will mark their second encounter in the ring. They first clashed in the inaugural BMF title fight at UFC 244 in November 2019, where Jorge Masvidal emerged victorious. That night, Masvidal landed several damaging shots and secured a third-round TKO win after the cage-side doctor deemed Diaz unable to continue due to a significant cut above his eyebrow.
