MMA Fighting Share this story Esther Lin, MMA Fighting At UFC 261 this past Saturday, Masvidal came up short in his second bid for the UFC welterweight title, getting knocked out in the second round by champion Kamaru Usman. Though an obvious setback for “Gamebred”, there is a silver lining for Masvidal: a potential bout with Nick Diaz. Diaz has been rumored to be planning a return to the cage this year and was in attendance on Saturday, sitting cageside for Masvidal’s KO loss. At the post-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White addressed Diaz’s presence saying that the elder Diaz brother wanted a fight and the UFC would offer him one, and Masvidal would love to be the one to welcome him back.
