Nate Diaz (20-12) lost UFC 244’s main event via doctor stoppage at the end of Round 4. Stockton’s finest got two nasty cuts on his right eye courtesy of Jorge Masvidal (35-13) who won “The Baddest Motherfu*ker” belt.
UFC President Dana White posted an image of Diaz’s face after the fight, showing the sever damage the 34-year-old sustained. Diaz was stitched 25 times on his eyebrow and cheekbone.
The cuts didn’t look to be fight ending for those watching on television, but as you can see from the picture, Diaz suffered quite a bit of damage during the fight. Although he disagreed with the stoppage at the time, following the event White said the doctor made the right call.
Diaz wasn’t happy with the doctor calling the fight off and he was seen telling the medic he’s OK to continue the bout. Right after the fight, Nate demanded a rematch with “Gamebred”, but as of now, a second fight between those two looks is not on the table.
