MIAMI – Jorge Masvidal and company are confident, as they head into a new, but also familiar challenge.
Paulino Hernandez, Masvidal’s longtime striking coach, firmly believes Masvidal is going to shine in his return to boxing when he takes on Nate Diaz in a 10-round boxing on June 1 at Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
This will be Masvidal’s first professional boxing fight since his debut in 2005. It will also be the second time Masvidal fights Diaz, as the two competed in MMA back at UFC 244 in 2019 – a fight Masvidal won by doctor’s stoppage TKO to crown himself the inaugural BMF champion.
