Diaz’s longtime coach and friend Jose Garcia provided the proof, putting an end to any concerns that fans may have had regarding whether or not he’d show up to fight week.

Last week’s issues between Diaz and USADA threatened to put a stop to the main event clash, which could’ve caused quite a few headaches for the UFC. In the end, they were able to resolve any lingering problems, ensuring that the BMF Championship will still be contested for on Saturday night.

With less than a week to go now you can feel the hype starting to grow, in a fight that has come together as a result of both men working together to push it through.

The winner has been tipped to face either Colby Covington or Kamaru Usman for the UFC Welterweight Championship based on what happens at UFC 245, but at this moment in time, nothing is official.

Who do you think will win the BMF title at UFC 244? Jorge Masvidal or Nate Diaz?
