It took almost five years, but Nate Diaz finally got his revenge on Jorge Masvidal in a professional boxing ring on Saturday.

Diaz defeated Masvidal by majority decision in a 10-round bout that headlined the pay-per-view at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. Two of the three judges who scored the close fight scored it 98-92 and 97-93 for Diaz, with the third judge scoring it 95-95.

The win was revenge for Diaz’s third-round technical knockout loss to Masvidal in November 2019, when the two met in the UFC’s first BMF title fight. Masvidal won when a doctor ruled Diaz could not continue due to a laceration; Diaz disagreed. After Saturday’s victory, Diaz called for two more rematches, with Jake Paul, who defeated him in boxing last year, and UFC champion Leon Edwards.

“I’m going to kick Jake Paul’s f**king ass and I’m going to fight the highest-ranked boxer I can find,” Diaz said. “My main goal is to be the best fighter in the world, so I want to come back and win a UFC title. [UFC welterweight champion] Leon Edwards, Jake Paul and anyone else are dead.

Masvidal, 39, who ended his MMA career in April but has already hinted at a possible comeback, said he disagreed with the scorecards and demanded a third fight with Diaz.

“I thought I won,” Masvidal said. “I thought I landed the harder shots. We can do it again, it’s 1-1. We’ll find a spot and do it again.”

It was a classic performance from Diaz, who simply overwhelmed Masvidal with volume throughout the 175-pound fight. Masvidal seemed to be landing the heavier punches, but Diaz’s infamous beard held up great and his pace was a weapon for him all night. At times he would laugh and turn his back on Masvidal, and the two continued to land punches until the final bell.

The event, which aired on DAZN and was co-promoted by Diaz’s Real Fight Inc. and Masvidal’s Gamebred Boxing, featured other substantial names from the combat sports world, including former UFC champion Anthony Pettis, who lost to Diaz’s longtime teammate Chris Avila.

FERNANDO Martinez is now the unified WBA and IBF super flyweight titleholder after a thrilling battle of attrition in Tokyo, Japan. The scores were announced as 116-112, 117-111 and 120-108, crowning Martinez the winner by unanimous decision.

It was a great 115-pound fight between two great fighters, worthy of a unification fight. The 120-108 card posted by Eduardo Hernandez Sr. seemed incredibly dismissive of Ioka’s efforts, but the right man got the nod.

Martinez started swift and managed to keep the pace going, aside from a few slower rounds, thanks in huge part to Ioka’s relentless attack. It was an incredible pace considering Martinez, 17-0 (9 KOs), is 32 years senior.

Ioka, 36, is four years older and drops to 31-3-1 (16 KOs). After retiring, Ioka could consider returning to the wilderness as a respected four-division world champion.

Marcos Maidana celebrated in the ring with a visiting fighter he promotes. Martinez can now chase another unification fight with WBC super flyweight champion Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez, who defeated Juan Francisco Estrada last weekend. However, a rematch is expected to happen, which could leave Martinez looking for a dance partner elsewhere.
