The historic Madison Square Garden in New York City is the site for UFC 244: Masvidal vs Diaz on Saturday. This will be the 500th live event staged by UFC. The main event is a welterweight tilt between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz, winner of The Ultimate Fighter 5 (lightweight division) and a former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger. Diaz had challenged Masvidal after beating Anthony Pettis at UFC 241, calling himself the “baddest motherfucker in the game.” As a result, UFC President Dana White has said that a “BMF” belt will be handed to the winner of this fight. It looked like Diaz might have to sit out after failing a drug test, but he was cleared and will participate. The co-headliner is a middleweight fight between Kelvin Gastelum and Darren Till. We have the whole fight card for you as well as UFC betting thoughts on some of the matchups.
