The main battle of the evening. Jorge Masvidal – Nate Diaz

One of the most interesting fights of the end of this year, which will definitely collect a full MSG. For Nate Diaz, the opportunity to perform in front of his native audience is a chance to prove to the whole world that he deserves revenge with Conor and claims to the title fight. The athlete, who had not entered the octagon for about three years, unexpectedly easily and playfully figured out the cage with Anthony Pettis. The athletes played three rounds on the canvas, each of which was dominated by a native of the Bronx.
Jorge Masvidal, on the other hand, unexpectedly blossomed on the world mixed martial arts scene. It seemed that after the defeat in the challenger's fight, his positions would come to naught, but the veteran in a brutal style knocked out two avenues. And if Darren Till stood in the octagon for at least one and a half rounds, then Ben Askren went into a deep knockout after the first blow.
The fight will be the title fight – the athletes will fight for the belt “The Baddest Motherfucker”, which was announced by Nate Diaz. Dana White said that the fight for this title will be one of a kind, so every UFC fan is obliged to turn on the live broadcast of the event on the morning of November 3.

Main card
In addition to the main battle, the main card of this event contains four more events, each of which will be incredibly interesting and influencing the state of affairs in its divisions. As part of the main card of UFC 244, there will be promising athletes like Corey Anderson, Darren Till and Johnny Walker, as well as veterans of mixed martial arts. The second fight of the day will be a fight involving one of the aforementioned fighters. Calvin Gastelum will fight Darren Till.

The Ultimate Fighter season 17 winner and former interim belt contender Calvin Gastelum will face UFC prospect Darren Till in the second fight of the evening. For Till, this fight will be his debut in the middle division – after two defeats in a row, he decided to change weight and try his hand at the weight category above. A title loss to Tyrone Woodley could be fatal for Gorilla – lately, fighters who have changed their weight have looked bad enough in the octagon. The extreme examples of Luke Rockhold and Chris Wideman support this proposition.
Gastelum is gradually approaching his first battle against the avenue. Having lost to Israel Adesanya, the American never made it to a full-fledged title, but a victory over Till could return Calvin to the championship race.

Corey Anderson – Johnny Walker

The battle between the two light heavyweight avenues could be the most incendiary event on the main card at UFC 244. On the one hand, Corey Anderson is represented in this fight. After defeats to Jimi Manuva and Ovins Saint-Preux, the fighter approaches the fight with a streak of three victories in a row, but defeated the American not too prominent rivals – Patrick Cummins, Glover Teixeira and Ilir Latifi suffered from the fighter's actions in the octagon.
On the other hand, Johnny Walker will oppose Overtime. The Brazilian entered the organization through the Brazilian stage of Dana White's promoter series and has won three fights in the Octagon with three straight bonuses for the evening's performance. Not too strong opponents were also put up against Walker, but he dealt with the same strong Misha Tsirkunov in 40 seconds of face-to-face confrontation.

Stephen Thompson – Vicente Luke

A kickboxer versus a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master is a fight that in the old days, when MMA was not so promoted thanks to the UFC, would have been taken with special interest. There is simply no favorite in this pair – the winner is the one whose method of fighting in the octagon will be more effective.
Stephen Thompson has been leading himself to the title fight for a long time. The last contender before the title for Vanderboy was Darren Till, but Thompson lost to Prospect by unanimous decision of the panel of judges, losing after that also to Anthony Pettis. Brazilian veteran Vicente Luque, on the other hand, is on the rise. The athlete goes with a gorgeous 6-0 streak, but there were no really top opponents on his way. Thompson is an excellent test for Vicente's record, which makes this fight a defining one for both fighters.

Derrick Lewis – Blagoy Ivanov

In a card like this, there's nowhere without a fight in the heavyweight division. This time, quite experienced athletes will enter the octagon, who are able to both show a bright cut and spend three rounds on the canvas under the roar of the American public. Derrick Lewis just recently defeated Alexander Volkov and entered the title fight against Daniel Cormier on short notice. Now the American is on the 0-2 series, having also lost to Junior dos Santos by TKO.
Sambo wrestler Blagoy Ivanov is a recent signer of the best promotion on the planet. The Bulgarian spent three fights in the cage under the UFC banner and lost to the same “Gypsy” dos Santos, after that winning two opponents and gaining a foothold in the TOP-15 of the heavy division rating.
Odds 1xBet:

Preliminary card
The prelims of UFC 244 will give odds to some of the Fight Night tournaments. Several fights in the preliminary card will be rating, and for fans of mixed martial arts from the CIS, the organization has prepared a fight with the participation of Andrei Orlovsky. The main event of the card will be the return of Kevin Lee to lightweight, and his last attempt to gain a foothold in the top of the organization. The fighter's rival will be Gregor Gillespie.

Kevin Lee's battle with his prototype could easily top the card of any UFC Fight Night show. But this fight will close the preliminary card of the tournament on MSG. Kevin Lee's career is in serious decline. Having lost to Tony Ferguson, the athlete defeated Edson Barbosa, and seemed to have regained his position in the division, but the failed fight against Al Iaquinta put an end to the fighter's prospects regarding the TOP-5 of the lightweight division. Lee moved up to welterweight, where he was supposed to beat Rafael dos Agnos, but unexpectedly lost to that by submission.
Lee's current opponent will be Gregor Gillespie. The undefeated prospect is one of the contenders for a fast-paced title fight. The former ROC champion in the UFC goes 5-0, and knocked out Yancy Medeiros in an extreme fight, loudly declaring himself to the whole world of MMA.

After a series of undeserved defeats, Pitbull finally won. The battle with Ben Rothwell was boring enough, but ended in an unconditional victory for Andrew. Now Orlovsky wants to continue the victorious stride in the battle with the organization's Surinamese Avenue.
Jairzinho Rosenstryuk is an athlete who made himself from start to finish. Breaking out of poverty, the Surinamese is now one of the top heavyweight avenues. Rosenstruck goes to the UFC with a streak of two victories – first he knocked out Junior Albini, and then defeated Allen Crowder with a bonus for the evening's performance.
