The MMA world is brimming with excitement following the news of Jorge Masvidal vs Nate Diaz 2. The report came initially via TMZ and was later confirmed by Brett Okamoto; however, a date is yet to be determined. Moreover, the rematch of the famed ‘BMF’ bout is sure to pull in a massive number of PPV buys given the fighters’ star power.

Initial speculations claimed that the fight was being discussed seriously amongst the aforementioned fighters. But certain details regarding the BMF belt are still up in the air. Furthermore, the negotiations for the fight will be challenging based on the high profile nature of the players involved.

The top contenders in the welterweight division expressed strong sentiments regarding the news on social media. Leon Edwards was unhappy when the report of the potential mega-fight broke into the MMA world. The Englishman has had a heated rivalry with ‘Gamebred’ ever since the two engaged in a backstage brawl in London.

Moreover, recently confirmed title challenger Gilbert Burns chimed in on the breaking news. Initial reports say that the mega-fight will take place on the December 12 card, a PPV headlined by Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns. However, ESPN’s Ariel Helwani has disputed those claims and suggested a January slot for the highly anticipated rematch.
