For a pay-per-view that prices $80 (critically), you’ll suppose Jorge Masvidal can be working time beyond regulation to advertise his upcoming boxing match towards Nate Diaz, scheduled for Sat., July 6, 2024 at Honda Middle in Anaheim, California.
As a substitute, “Gamebred” simply needs to speak about his one-sided rivalry with Conor McGregor.
“He’s by no means talked about my title,” Masvidal advised MMA Junkie Radio. “He’s by no means addressed me, solely to say like silly issues or one thing, however he’s by no means addressed a battle with me or one thing as a result of he’s scared sh*tless. If we are able to’t get him to get into the cage with a man he’s satisfied he can beat, what the f*ck will make him get within the cage with me?”
Sorry Jorge, however UFC CEO Dana White doesn’t like ultimatums.
“He is aware of that I’m not going to take him down. I’m not going to smother him or search for a submission. I’m going to beat the f*ck out of him,” Masvidal continued. “From when that bell rings till it ends, I’m going to beat the crap out of him standing. I believe Conor analyzes these issues and thinks, ‘Man, this dude is as imply as he appears and athletic. I need no a part of this man. He’s going to take me out of the sport the best way I don’t wish to be taken out.”
Taken out … like this?
“The UFC has tried to make this battle occur and Conor doesn’t need it,” Masvidal mentioned. “He doesn’t need the rattling battle. He by no means mentions my title, however we’re the most important battle potential. You suppose Michael Chandler sells greater than me vs. Conor? No one of their proper thoughts thinks that. I’m one of many largest pay-per-view attracts of the UFC within the final five-six years. In fact we’d break data, however this man received’t do it. In my future, I don’t see this battle taking place except I run into him at a car parking zone.”
Masvidal’s final car parking zone battle didn’t finish so effectively.
McGregor, 35, is presently out of motion with a damaged pinky toe. Upon his return, he’s anticipated to settle his rating with fellow TUF 31 coach Michael Chandler; nevertheless, a timeline for his UFC comeback is not going to be established till “Infamous” is totally healed.
