Nate Diaz v Jorge Masvidal Betting and Odds Preview – November 3, 2019
Fresh off a victory against former UFC Lightweight Champion Anthony Pettis, Nate Diaz is facing Jorge Masvidal next. It will be a fierce bout for the BMF (baddest motherf*cker) world title at UFC 244, with both fighters itching to claim the belt. The belt itself will be presented by Dwayne The Rock Johnson, the former WWF fighter turned Hollywood star.
Dana White, head of the UFC, says that the unique belt cost around $50,000 to produce. A controversial gimmick many fans hated, White said that his team loved the idea, and the Rock immediately signed up to present it to the fighter, which is always done by White. Although nothing more than a gimmick, the BMF belt adds an extra dimension to the fight for the fighters and UFC fans as well.
UFC betting sites have already begun offering the best fight odds for the upcoming bout. Punters in the UK love betting on MMA/UFC events, and this enticing fight generated a lot of attention among bookies. Set as the headline event at the UFC 244 for November 2, the welterweight bout will surely be remembered for years to come.
Jorge Masvidal is the favourite according to bookies, and anyone who saw his flying knee kick earlier in the year against Ben Askren has to agree. His win earned fight night honours rightfully and it also was the fastest knockout in UFC history. However, Nate Diaz is a completely different challenge than Askren.
A fierce fighter who never wore a champ belt, Diaz has set his eyes on the BMF title. He has beaten terrifying opponents in the past including Conor McGregor so he’s definitely no pushover. Both fighters’ records promise a close and enticing fight for fans and punters as well.
