How to watch UFC 244: Masvidal vs. Diaz BMF Title fight

UFC 244 is one of the most highly anticipated events on the 2019 MMA calendar and it takes place this weekend at Madison Square Gardens in New York.

Jorge Masvidal will square off against Nate Diaz in the welterweight main event. They will battle it out for the unprecedented ‘BMF’ title, awarded by none other than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

After Diaz pulled out of UFC 244 last week after disputing his USADA drug test results, the company investigated and later relieved the fighter of any doping violations. His clearance put any cancellation rumours to bed and the ‘West Coast Gangster’ confirmed he will be getting back to business against the ‘East Coast Goon’.

On the same fight card, Masvidal’s former opponent, Darren Till will be moving up to middleweight to fight No 4 ranked contender, Kelvin Gastelum. Both fighters are coming off losses and will be looking to get back to winning form, but only one will rise victorious.
