Fighters Criticize Doctor’s Decision In Nate Diaz’s UFC 244 Loss
UFC 244’s ending was controversial, and several MMA fighters took to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction with how it shook out. As noted in our full report from the show, the doctor in charge of overseeing the fight ruled that Diaz was unfit to continue his fight with Jorge Masvidal due to large cuts Diaz suffered during the fight.
The decision was a divisive one, to say the least, and several fighters weren’t happy with what they saw. You can see a host of reactions from the likes of Felice Herrig, Francis Ngannou, Chris Camozzi, Will Brooks and more below:

Get the f*** out of here. There’s no blood going into Diaz’s eye. This stoppage is bullshit #ufc244

I really wanted to see those last 2 rounds bc Diaz always turns it up in those championship rounds with his cardio #ufc244 run it back . But Masvidal looked amazing

NEVER EVER EVER FIGHT IN NEW YORK. Same exact doctor looked me in the eye and told me I had a broken leg. I knew I didn’t and knew I could continue. MSG…amazing history and venue…NY…horrible commission. #ufc244

F&$k that doctor #UFC244 that cut wasn’t even over the eye. It was on the side. Poor drills NYSAC@NateDiaz209 & @GamebredFighter two of a dying breed #RealFighters
The 3 rounds we got were straight 🔥

Honestly deep down this could be best case scenario for both fighters. Double up the $$$ and do it again. No one lost face and the people want it
— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) November 3, 2019
Suppose I got what I asked for. Diaz lost in kinda the best possible way 🤷🏾♂️ #ufc244
