UFC star Nate Diaz claimed his first pro boxing victory over fellow UFC man Jorge Masvidal in a majority decision in Anaheim,California.
The 10-round light heavyweight fight at California's Honda Center in Anaheim,was scored 95-95,97-93,98-92 by the judges in somewhat controversial fashion as it seemed the call really could have gone either way.
While Diaz landed a greater number of punches on his opponent,Masvidal's punches were far more potent and heavier.
But the judges in Diaz's home state of California,sided with the UFC veteran.
'It feels good to get the job done for sure,' he said,adding,'Mission accomplished. I can feel the love out here in Cali every time,shout out California it's all love.'
The 209 is feeling fine 🔥🥊

The streamer,N3ON. who had been accompanied by a protection detail,provocatively asked Diaz: 'When you do get knocked out are you gonna retire?'.
Diaz soon shouted a reply: 'That little b**** boy? Little p****,f*****,' Diaz said. 'I'm gonna kick you in your f***ing leg,mother***er. Hey,f*** you!'
The influencer was then chased out of the press conference seemingly by a group of men from Diaz's entourage.
