Nate Diaz got one back.

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.

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

Complete madness. I have it 6-4 Diaz, but can see it a draw or 6-4 maavidal. It really don't matter though. #DiazMasvidal

Great last round. Diaz did enough for round 10. Masvidal should win 6-4 of the 10 round. The definite cleaner and harder shots landed. Diaz with the pressure and quantity. Just not enough powerful damaging shots in those flurry’s. #DiazMasvidal

I'm thinking Diaz lol but either way that was fun
— Vince Morales (@vandetta135) July 7, 2024
Mcgregor made more money on Nate winning than Nate did fighting lol

Watching the fight live I had Diaz winning . If you listen to the commentary maybe you go Masvidal . Good fight overall #DiazMasvidal
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) July 7, 2024
Whatever the decision, that was actually a really good fight. Congrats to both men. #DiazMasvidal

Watching the fight . I feel Diaz landed way more . Masvidal landed the harder shots for sure ! These stats can’t be accurate https://t.co/lDLaGghIKx
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) July 7, 2024
thought it was clear.. anywhere from 8-2 or worse case 6-4 if you gave the close ones to Nate... Seems like this is what is wrong with boxing...@GamebredFighter all day!!!
