- Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal are serving mandatory suspensions following their boxing rematch.
- Diaz won the bout by unanimous decision, but Masvidal felt the call was unfair.

Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal both served mandatory suspensions following last Saturday's thrilling boxing rematch.
Diaz avenged his loss to Masvidal at UFC in 2019 with a unanimous decision victory in just his second professional boxing bout. After 10 rounds, the judges scored the fight 98-92, 97-93 and 95-95 in Diaz's favor.

Neither player was seriously injured.
Despite the intensity of the match, neither player was injured and is expected to be cleared to return later this month.
Both players are facing charges until July 12, according to BoxRec.
In a post-fight statement, Diaz expressed satisfaction with his first professional boxing victory, having previously lost to Jake Paul. “We just went into the fight to understand him,” Diaz said. “I'm going to fight the highest-rated boxer I can find. My main goal is to become the best boxer in the world.”
Diaz has since called for a rematch against Jake Paul and for Leon Edwards to return to the UFC.
But Masvidal felt the decision was unfair: “I believe I landed the better shots. I think when the judges watch the video they'll see they were wrong,” he said.
In the co-main event, former world champion Daniel Jacobs served a 60-day suspension following his loss to Shane Mosley Jr. Jacobs will need to get medical clearance before resuming contact training.
Diaz ruled out a trilogy with Masvidal anytime soon, saying, “That's another story. I think we're both 1-0. He won in MMA and I won in boxing. Who knows what's going to happen with him, but something will happen at some point.”
