In-between rounds Diaz is still wearing a crimson mask due to the cuts he’s sustained, and that leads to his corner waving off the fight, leading to a TKO victory for Perry at 5.00mins of the 2nd round.

Diaz’s susceptible to cuts has been a real problem in the later years of his career, but at 41-years-old he also lacked his usual cardio and struggled to deal with Perry’s relentless aggressive pressure.

Even so, Diaz was still calling for a rematch post-fight, while Perry called out Jake Paul for an MMA fight.
