The fight came about not because the UFC brass put their heads together and made the fight but because Diaz called out Masvidal once he won his recent fight against <strong>Anthony Pettis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TMZSports<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ns-SyukxC8A?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Diaz was the one who cut the promo calling for the two to fight it out in the Octagon to decide who the BMF was in the game. Masvidal was quick to accept the fight and the UFC was quick to book both fighters and fix a date.<\/p>\n<p>The reason the UFC decided to push both fighters to the Main Event is because fans wanted to see a 5 round fight between the two. UFC rules allow for a 5 round fight only when a UFC title is on the line or when the fight is a Main Event. The UFC decided to create a special BMF felt for the fight and Dana White confirmed that they would be <strong>spending $50 grand to design the belt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The BMF belt will be a one-time thing for now according to White. This is a big deal for both Diaz and Masvidal as they will not only get pay-per-view points which increases their fight purse but the winner will most likely also get an opportunity to fight for the UFC Welterweight belt next. <\/p>\n<h2>Stacked Card For MSG<\/h2>\n<p>Apart from the Main Event, some of the other fights include <strong>Darren Till vs. Kelvin Gastelum<\/strong> for the co-Main Event; heavyweights <strong>Derrick \u2018<em>the Black Beast<\/em>\u2019 Lewis vs. Blagoy Ivanov<\/strong> and <strong>Stephen \u2018<em>Wonderboy<\/em>\u2019 Thompson vs. Vicente Luque<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to checkout our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/betting-opportunity\/\">Betting Opportunities<\/a> section, for our preview of the main event.. coming soon!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UFC is coming to Madison Square Garden (MSG) on November 2 to host UFC 244 and for the first time there will be no UFC Champion headlining the Main Event.
