Check out the fight card and bout order for Saturday’s UFC 244 PPV event, where Nate Diaz takes on Jorge Masvidal for the ‘BMF’ title.
All the drug testing drama is hopefully behind us, and now we have UFC 244 to look forward to. It’s not just Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz for the “BMF” title, it’s the rest of this ridiculously stacked card that’s headed to Madison Square Garden on November 3rd.
In the co-main event, Darren Till finally makes the move up to middleweight against Kelvin Gastelum. Welterweight contender Vicente Luque has his big step up in competition against Stephen Thompson, heavyweights Derrick Lewis and Blagoi Ivanov will collide, and Kevin Lee returns to lightweight to face rising prospect Gregor Gillespie.
The prelims could be a Fight Night show in itself. Light heavyweight KO artist Johnny Walker has a stiff test against Corey Anderson, but keep an eye out on Shane Burgos versus Makwan Amirkhani as a FOTN contender.
