Jorge Masvidal claims he wants to murder Nate Diaz

While Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal previously clashed, the bout unceremoniously ended via doctor's stoppage. Speaking to Ariel Helwani, 'Gamebred' discussed the rematch, stating:

"I want to murder this guy and it's nothing personal with him but I want to beat the f**king breaks out of him. He always said that the referee saved me. I don't think anybody with common sense would agree so I think this fight right here puts an end to all that bulls**t. I'm going to be in the best shape of my life and I know he's going to be in the best shape of [his] life. It's not like he's fighting Jake Paul and he's coming up off the couch."

Masvidal continued:

"He knows that if he's not in shape, I'm going to make him look bad and I'm going to get him out of there in two rounds. He knows with me, you got to die everyday in the gym to maybe step in that ring and have a fighting chance. I don't play that s**t. I'm trying to kill this motherf**ker and he knows it personally. I mean, he has the scars to prove it. He sees them things everyday in the mirror when he looks and he goes, 'this guy's going to try to f**king kill me as soon as we get in there. So Nate, get your a** in shape because I'm coming to break your f**king face, bro."
