Former welterweight title challenger, Darren Till has welcomed the possibility of a future rematch with fellow former UFC championship chaser, Jorge Masvidal in the future – claiming a re-run with the Floridian is a “big-money” clash.
Till, a veteran of the UFC, departed the Dana White-led promotion of his own volition back in February of last year, amid a slew of consecutive losses and struggles with persistent knee injuries.
Making his most recent combat sports walk at UFC 282 in December of the year prior, Till suffered his third consecutive defeat in the form of an eventual third round neck crank submission loss to incoming UFC 297 headliner and middleweight title chaser, Dricus du Plessis.
Linked with a long-anticipated fight with fellow former welterweight contender, Mike Perry in a potential BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) bout or a professional boxing venture, Till claims a matchup against former UFC foe, Masvidal is also firmly on his immediate radar.
“I think that whole scene now, (Jorge) Masvidal and Nate (Diaz) are fighting, Jake Paul, Tommy (Fury), KSI, (Mike) Perry – that whole thing comes together,’ Darren Till told Boxing Social during a recent interview. “Even (Tyron) Woodley’s in it and stuff like that. Any one of them, I feel like it’s a big-money fight, especially with my name and their name – all the sh*t before it and the fight. I know I can beat them all, as well.”
“Masvidal, yeah, the rematch with Masvidal, so get one back on him,” Darren Till explained. “They’re the fights. Let’s say Perry at the top of this [list] – Perry’s number one – and they’re all just below Perry. So if I can’t make the Perry fight happen, I’d love to make a fight with one of them happen.”
Fighting former BMF titleholder, Masvidal atop a UFC Fight Night London card back in 2019, Liverpool striker, Till suffered a devastating second round KO loss to the Miami veteran.
Expected to make his return to combat sports in March, Masvidal is currently in talks to fight the aforenoted, Diaz in a boxing match re-run – however, the Stockton native has offered his services in the form of a UFC 300 headliner in April.

Former two-time undisputed welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal is reportedly slated to make his first outing in professional boxing later this year – taking on fellow UFC alum, Nate Diaz in the pair’s rematch, this time in the squared circle, in a March clash in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Masvidal, a former two-time undisputed welterweight title challenger under the banner of the UFC and the promotion’s inaugural symbolic BMF titleholder, called time on his mixed martial arts career back in April, suffering a fourth consecutive decision loss in a unanimous decision defeat to Gilbert Burns.
As for Diaz, The Ultimate Fighter victor departed the UFC back in November 2022 after landing a fourth round guillotine choke submission win over former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson earlier that year.
Making a professional boxing debut back in August, Stockton veteran, Diaz suffered a unanimous decision loss to professional boxer, Jake Paul in Texas, suffering a final round knockdown to boot.
And with speculation rife regarding a potential return to combat sports for Masvidal – who confirmed he would be calling time on his retirement earlier this month, reports have revealed late tonight that the Floridian will take on Diaz in a boxing clash in March.
“BREAKING: Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal boxing match confirmed,” Happy Punch posted on their official X account. “March in Las Vegas. The UFC has given the green light, sources tell Happy Punch.”

Sharing the Octagon at UFC 244 back in November 2019, Masvidal landed the symbolic BMF title in the championship’s inaugural outing, turning in a fourth round doctor’s stoppage TKO win over Diaz at Madison Square Garden.
At the time of publication, an official venue, weight class, or round-limit for a reported rematch between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz has yet to be determined.

Amid links to a return to combat sports in a blockbuster UFC 300 feature in April, former two-time welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal has been linked with a professional boxing move instead, by American Top Team teammate, Renato Moicano, who provided some details on the Miami native’s recent training regime.
Masvidal, a former two-time undisputed welterweight title challenger and inaugural symbolic BMF championship winner, called time on his storied mixed martial arts career just eight months ago at UFC 284 in his native Florida.
Suffering his fourth consecutive defeat in the form of a one-sided unanimous decision loss to Gilbert Burns, Masvidal has since switched his focus entirely to promoting his bare knuckle fighting promotion, Gamebred Fighting Championships.
However, earlier this week, Masvidal claimed he was “unretired” across his social media – leading to links to fights against a slew of opponents including Nate Diaz, as well as namely, Leon Edwards in a grudge match – or a BMF title charge against Justin Gaethje.
As far as Brazilian contender, Moicano is concerned, however, a mixed martial arts comeback for Masvidal seems unlikely, who appears to be limiting his training entirely to the striking arts – strictly boxing, in fact.
“I see a lot of people saying that Jorge Masvidal is fighting [at] UFC 300,” Renato Moicano said on his YouTube channel. “But, I’m not sure about that. I’m not even sure if he will fight MMA [again]. Yesterday, I saw Masvidal at American Top Team. But, he was not training wrestling.”
“I saw him training boxing every day,” Moicano explained. “Every day, hitting the bags, hitting the pads, working on drills. So, I’m not sure if he’s fighting boxing or not, but if I could guess, and if I could bet my house, I’d say he’s fighting boxing.”

Amid claims earlier this week that he is now “unretired” from combat sports just 8 months after hanging up his gloves, former two-time welterweight champion, Jorge Masvidal has been linked with fights opposite both Nate Diaz, and Leon Edwards – and now, a BMF title showdown with symbolic titleholder, Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in April.
Masvidal, the inaugural symbolic BMF championship winner and former two-time welterweight title challenger under the banner of the promotion, called time on his professional mixed martial arts career back in April after UFC 274, suffering his fourth consecutive loss in the form of a one-sided decision loss to Gilbert Burns.
The defeat followed a prior judging loss to former training partner and close friend, Colby Covington, after consecutive decision and knockout losses, respectively, in unsuccessful title fight charges with former pound-for-pound number one, Kamaru Usman.
Amongst a potential return to fight long-time rival, Edwards at UFC 300 in another title siege, as well as a rematch with fellow promotional veteran, Ben Askren, analyst, Chael Sonnen has now suggested a scenario where Masvidal takes on Gaethje – whom he strapped with the BMF title back in July of last year.
“There’s a one-in-a-million chance that he goes back, and if he (Jorge Masvidal) got everything together and he got it all planned, he’s got a deal done behind the scenes that would have to be him versus (Justin) Gaethje at [170 pounds] for the BMF [championship],” Chael Sonnen said on his YouTube channel.
“The only way you could make up for his retirement or that you cold make up for the discrepancy within records is if you spot him the weight and you move Gaethje to 170 and make it for a BMF [championship],” Sonnen explained. “I know Masvidal is not going to fight in the UFC ever again, and that it is not his choice unless it’s at 300 for the belt against Gaethje. I’m not predicting it for you, I’m all but guaranteeing you it’s not going to happen.”

Despite reports earlier this week detailing how incumbent welterweight champion, Leon Edwards is in line to defend his divisional…
Despite reports earlier this week detailing how incumbent welterweight champion, Leon Edwards is in line to defend his divisional strap in a rematch against foe, Belal Muhammad at UFC 300 in an April return – the recent retirement u-turn of long-time rival, Jorge Masvidal, may throw a certain spanner into the works, according to an ex-two-weight champion.
Edwards, the current undisputed welterweight champion, most recently headlined UFC 296 just last month in Las Vegas, Nevada, landing a unanimous decision win over former interim gold holder, Colby Covington in the pair’s long-anticipated grudge fight.
And in the weeks following his win, Birmingham native is already eyeing up a UFC 300 feature in April – confirming his expected return on the card in a busy start to his 2024 fighting schedule.
Furthermore, reports during the week revealed that despite initial talks of a championship siege for Shavkat Rakhmonov at the event, Edwards is likely set to fight surging welterweight contender and prior opponent, Muhammad in a title rematch in April.
However, a prior rival from Edwards’ past may enter the title fray according to former two-weight gold holder, Henry Cejudo, who pointed to the potential shoo-in entry of former title chaser, Jorge Masvidal into a blockbuster UFC 300 championship picture against the U.K. star.
“Jorge Masvidal just unretired… I think he still has that chip on his shoulder,” Cejudo said on his YouTube channel. “He’s probably chasing [a fight with] Leon. You know what they’re [the UFC] probably thinking? ‘We’re probably gonna exit out Belal Muhammad and give Jorge Masvdial that three piece and a soda, and give him the opportunity to eventually fight Leon Edwards.’”
“…The UFC is a damn entertainment company,” Cejudo continued. “[And] for that reason, I think Jorge Masvidal comess back and he legit fights for the title. If Belal can not make a storyline or build something or get people behind him – Dana White, and Hunter Campbell – it’s all based on marketing.”
