Ahead of UFC 244, it’s time to pick a Coast.
While the UFC’s collaboration with Reebok is often criticized for a number of reasons, one of which includes a lack of creativity, it seems the simplistic approach of the walkout jerseys for Saturday’s Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz headliner may have just hit the nail on the head.
In the battle for the BMF title, it’s East Coast vs. West Coast.
UFC 244 takes place Saturday at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden. The night’s card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN2 and ESPN+. Masvidal (34-13 MMA, 11-6 UFC) and Diaz (20-11 MMA, 15-9 UFC) meet in the night’s much-anticipated welterweight headliner. You can pick up the jerseys – with the hat to match – at UFCStore.com.
So what say you, people: Are you backing the “West Coast gangster” in Diaz? Or the self-proclaimed “Latin mother(expletive), thugged-out mother(expletive) goon from Miami” in Masvidal.
