Jorge Masvidal is assured he’d reclaim his BMF title if he fought Justin Gaethje.
Masvidal received the inaugural BMF title with a third-round physician’s stoppage TKO of Nate Diaz in November 2019. Masvidal by no means defended his belt, however the UFC determined to convey the title again after he retired.
Gaethje (25-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) knocked out Masvidal’s teammate, Dustin Poirier, to assert the BMF title at UFC 291, and “Gamebred” is assured he’d damage Gaethje if he acquired the chance to combat him.
“After I received the belt, Dana mentioned it might be one in all one, the belt is completed, and there could be no defending it,” Masvidal instructed Lowkick MMA. “So there by no means was any speak about it, a minimum of for me, however now I believe the temperature on that theme has modified. They’re doing issues just a little totally different, and Justin is superb.
“The man that he beat to get that belt is a f*cking stud, he’s a killer, Dustin Poirier. However if you happen to put BMF in opposition to BMF, if you happen to put me in opposition to Gaethje in there, I’d break his f*cking eye orbital, and I’d f*cking chop him up. Hopefully that may occur sooner or later.”
Gaethje will defend his BMF title in opposition to former featherweight champion Max Holloway (25-7 MMA, 21-7 UFC) at UFC 300 on April 13 from T-Cell Area in Las Vegas. Masvidal is rooting for Holloway to win.
“I believe Max Holloway is likely one of the baddest motherf*ckers that ever lived,” Masvidal mentioned. “That’s a dude that I f*cking salute. I really like his fashion. I really like his story. I really like his beginnings. I really like how humble of an individual he’s. I’m going clearly for Max all the best way, however I believe it’s going to be a f*cking nice combat.”
