Jorge Masvidal is the UFC’s “Baddest Mother(expletive)” after defeating Nate Diaz on Saturday in the UFC 244 main event.
Masvidal (35-13 MMA, 12-6 UFC) continued the most stellar run of his career when, in the pay-per-view headliner at Madison Square Garden in New York, he defeated Diaz (20-12 MMA, 15-10 UFC) to win the “BMF” belt. Unfortunately it came in an anticlimactic matter, with “Gamebred” winning by doctor stoppage TKO after multiple cuts on Diaz’s face.
Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Masvidal’s victory over Diaz at UFC 244.

Masvidal walking to the cage with Roberto Duran!

Masvidal’s hands are behind his back and he’s leaning against the cage. He’s ready. #UFC244

Ok, the feint double knee off the bat was an awesome way to start. 😂

That kick Masvidal hit Nate with gave me flashbacks to Belfort-Hendo 2
— Dan Tom (@DanTomMMA) November 3, 2019
Diaz is a notoriously slow starter but Masvidal really looking to be faster and have more power.

These crazy Mfers are actually laughing, joking around and sauntering across the Octagon as they rip each other apart.

They couldn’t of picked two better guys to fight for this belt! #UFC244

ROUND 1 – MASVIDAL
I AM HAVING FUN. #UFC244

99% of fighters NOT named Diaz would be done in that round

Jorge Masvidal is more chill about sharing a freaking cage with Nate freaking Diaz than I am about anything in my life.

Big body kick from Masvidal and Diaz falls to his back. #UFC244

UPDATE NO. 2: While Masvidal and Diaz throw down, Canelo and Kovalev lay down. #UFC244 pic.twitter.com/HstwVehik9

I don't think people realize how fast Masvidal is. #UFC244

Nate has to chill with this Genki Sudo shit

Real power disparity on display here. Masvidal has true welterweight power while Diaz does not. Diaz can win, but needs volume to do it. Punch for punch he is out gunned

20-18 Masvidal #UFC244

I love tonight #UFC244

Anyone else feel like Masvidal is taking his foot off the gas and not going in for the finish just for our sustained entertainment? #ufc244

NEVER EVER EVER FIGHT IN NEW YORK. Same exact doctor looked me in the eye and told me I had a broken leg. I knew I didn’t and knew I could continue. MSG…amazing history and venue…NY…horrible commission. #ufc244

Tough to see exactly what happens here at #UFC244, but it seems someone from the crowd was going after Jorge Masvidal (@GamebredFighter), who looked ready to handle it, as he left the cage before UFC security stepped in.
