Diaz trying to overwhelm him with those little chipper shots and then occasionally fire some heat. Masvidal trying not to gas and picking his shots but making them count. Fun fight. — Cody Gibson (@TheRenegade559) July 7, 2024
Nate the much busier fighter this round. But Masvidal lands the clean harder shots at the end and steals the round for me. 5-1 Masvidal — Alan Jouban (@AlanJouban) July 7, 2024
These rounds are not easy to score but I have 5-1 or 4-2 Jorge — Mike Thomas Brown (@mikebrownmma) July 7, 2024
8-2 masvidal — Mike Thomas Brown (@mikebrownmma) July 7, 2024
Good boxing match between Diaz and Masvidal! It goes to the score card! #DiazMasvidal — Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) July 7, 2024
Complete madness. I have it 6-4 Diaz, but can see it a draw or 6-4 masvidal. It really don’t matter though. #DiazMasvidal — Mike Jackson, Esq. (@TheTruthJackson) July 7, 2024
Great last round. Diaz did enough for round ten. Masvidal should win six-four of the ten rounds. The definite cleaner and harder shots landed; Diaz with pressure and quantity—just not enough powerful damaging shots in those flurries. #DiazMasvidal — Alan Jouban (@AlanJouban) July 7, 2024
I’m thinking Diaz lol but either way that was fun — Vince Morales (@vandetta135) July 7, 2024
