Former BMF contenders Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz went head-to-head in a ten-round boxing match. The arena was packed with a lot of fans cheering for the Stockton Slugger. It was praised by critics for the entertainment that the card provided.

Despite all of these aspects, the event was not a total success for Fanmio or the contender. Nate Diaz is reportedly suing CEO Solomon Engel for breach of contract. According to the fighter, he was promised $10 million dollars.

He claims only a fragment of the promised amount was transacted. A new lawsuit had been filed against Fanmio for this exact reason. However, Solomon Engel denies said allegations. In his recent statement, he claims he would dispute the said lawsuit.


“Neither has taken place,” said Solomon Engel. This statement is a direct response to Diaz’s fraud and contractual breaching accusations. The Fanmio CEO says he had already paid the former UFC fighter ‘seven figures’ going into this fight.
