“I know I’m supposed to try and sell this fight and be like, ‘Yo, yeah, it’s gonna be a great fight. Bro, Chael was f—king trash.”
Jorge Masvidal was not impressed by what he saw in Brazil this past weekend (June 15, 2024).
It was a big weekend for boxing. That was mostly thanks to another big performance from Gervonta Davis, but Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen also had their trilogy in an exhibition boxing match.
Ultimately, the match went the full five rounds and was declared a majority draw. Despite that, Masvidal had nothing positive to say about his new rival, Sonnen, in particular.
“The fight wasn’t the best, obviously,” Masvidal told MMA Mania. “Chael’s f—king trash, bro. I know I’m supposed to try and sell this fight and be like, ‘Yo, yeah, it’s gonna be a great fight. Bro, Chael was f—king trash. This motherf—ker’s trash. Like when you leave the trash can open and the water gets in there and it’s liquid trash-water, that f—kin’ smells like s—t and there’s nothing you can do with it, that’s what Chael is.
“That being said, I would not mind driving my knuckles through his face for a nice paycheck, breaking his eye orbital. Just doing everybody a f—king favor because nobody really likes that dude.
“I wouldn’t mind crushing that dude and his empire,” he concluded. “I’m not coming for a f—king exhibition match.
Like Sonnen, Masvidal will also be stepping into the ring sooner rather than later. Masvidal, 39, will rematch Nate Diaz in Anaheim, California on July 6, 2024. It won’t be Masvidal’s debut in boxing like Sonnen’s Silva match was, but ultimately, the pair of former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) title challengers are laying the foundation for a possible collision.
“After I knock out Nate, if I have some downtime this year, yeah, I wouldn’t mind busting up f—king Chael bad, bro,” Masvidal said. “It would probably be at super heavyweight because he don’t want to cut weight.”
