Nate Diaz believes he would’ve turned up the heat on Jorge Masvidal in the championship rounds, but Michael Bisping isn’t buying it. Diaz and Masvidal shared the Octagon inside Madison Square Garden in New York City earlier this month. The bout headlined the historic UFC 244 main event. For the first, and likely last time, the BMF championship was on the line. Before the fourth round could begin, the Octagon-side doctor waved off the contest due to cuts on Nate Diaz’s eyebrow and below his right eye.

Michael Bisping likes the idea of Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal, but he feels it isn’t likely to happen next. Diaz is scheduled to take on Anthony Pettis this Saturday night (Aug. 17) in the co-main event of UFC 241. This will be Diaz’s first bout since Aug. 2016, where he dropped a majority decision in a rematch with Conor McGregor. Even if Diaz emerges victorious this weekend, Bisping believes there’s a roadblock to the Stockton native colliding with Jorge Masvidal.
