“Conor McGregor would be the biggest fight” – Jorge Masvidal says he’s ready if UFC is ready

Since his viral knockout victory over Ben Askren, Jorge Masvidal has grown into one of the biggest names in the sport. ‘Gamebred’ is now considered a money fight. And has a host of people calling him in the UFC welterweight division. Outside of the UFC, Jake Paul is also considering a fight with Masvidal.

In a recent interview, Jorge Masvidal shared his thoughts on a potential fight with Conor McGregor at 170 pounds. He said, “For starters, I’m going to say it pretty clearly, me and Conor would be the biggest fight the UFC can do, but that’s not for me to decide. Said I’m the biggest, I’m not the one with something in mind like aah that’s not a good fight for me. For me, I’m like it’s the best fight for me, period.

‘Gamebred’ continued, “I’m going to make a lot of money against someone who isn’t skilled in a lot of areas and who is considered smaller, and who has no gasoline for the job they have to do. So it’s not about us man, it’s all about them. Fucking dwarf that I can take. I used to like him a little bit and then he started talking about people women and DMs and this and that. You got your fucking teeth pushed in, shut up, man, go to the gym.

However, a fight against Jorge Masvidal would not only be an exciting challenge, it would also be a huge fight for the company from a business perspective. It would certainly be close to the Diaz Trilogy in terms of PPV purchases or could even exceed it.

‘Gamebred’ has said on several occasions that his goal is to lead fights that will bring him closer to the title. A fight with Conor McGregor might not be his top priority right now.
