Super (un)necessary.
Former UFC welterweight rivals Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal will stage a special pre-fight press conference this afternoon, LIVE at 3:30 p.m. ET in the embedded video above. Diaz rematches “Gamebred” under boxing rules on Sat., July 6, 2024 from inside Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., a pay-per-view (PPV) spectacle greedily-priced at $79.99.
Today’s press conference also features two-time world champion Daniel “The Miracle Man” Jacobs and “Sweet Science” rival Shane Mosley Jr., who meet in the “Last Man Standing” co-main event. Devin Cushing, Manuel Correa, and former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis are also scheduled to take the stage for Thursday’s media festivities.
“He won the first fight but I’m back for more, so that’s what’s popping,” Diaz said at their kickoff press conference earlier this year. “This is a new fight and I’m here to win. I expect him to do what he’s gotta do in there. He’s got a good coach and he’s doing what he’s supposed to do in training, but I’ve been doing this a long time. We’ll see how it goes for him.”
Tickets for “Diaz vs. Masvidal 2” are currently on sale through Ticketmaster starting at $55 (plus applicable fees and taxes). A limited number of VIP packages are available which include the ringside seats, all-inclusive hospitality in Honda Center’s exclusive Impact Club, the opportunity to step into the ring after the fight, VIP access to the weigh-ins, and more.
