Jorge Masvidal will step into the Octagon with Nate Diaz in one of the hottest UFC showdowns of the year.

Masvidal took more than a year out from the sport in 2018, but returned with vengeance in 2019 with two outstanding victories.

His most recent outing involved an outrageous five-second knockout of Ben Askren with a flying knee – the fastest knockout in UFC history.

Before the Askren bout, the US fighter also took out British star Darren Till in London, with Till also featuring on the UFC 244 card against Kelvin Gastelum.

Diaz will hope to stop Masvidal's resurgence and continue his own strong comeback form.

The 34-year-old defeated Anthony Pettis by unanimous decision in August, almost three years to the day since his last fight – a narrow defeat to Conor McGregor whom he beat in the second round earlier in 2016.
