'Gamebred' reveals why his boxing match with Diaz is getting pushed back to July 6th.
Stepping away from the Octagon to fight in the boxing ring, the pair of UFC stars were initially supposed to collide on June 1st— the same night as UFC 302: Makhachev vs. Poirier. However, things don't always go according to plan, as Masvidal and Diaz have found a new date and venue for their rematch.The 10-round boxing bout moves from Inglewood to Anaheim, CA, on July 6th.
"The fan base that he has is from MMA, from UFC. So, why go up against our own fan base? Me as a promoter, I'm thinking, I don't even wanna do it. I know a lot of fight fans will buy both events or watch both events, but in my honest opinion, why even do it if there was days weren't conflicting... But finally the promotion heeded my words and stuff and decided to switch. Obviously I don't like it that another month and a week got added to this already long training camp.
"At this point, I just hope he shows up to the fight," Masvidal expressed. "Cause a big part of me thinks he doesn't show up to the fight for whatever reason, his pinky toe's gonna be hurting and he can't put on his boxing shoes, so he can't fight. I don't think he's gonna make it to the fight.
