Jorge Masvidal maintains that Conor McGregor would be no match for him.
Masvidal made it three victories in a row following his TKO (doctor stoppage) win over Nate Diaz in the UFC 244 headliner on Saturday night. Despite the controversial nature of the stoppage, “Gamebred” was dominating proceedings for the entirety of the 15 minutes and was the deserving winner.
While there are calls for a rematch, many feel Masvidal should get a title shot next. Another possibility is another lucrative fight with Conor McGregor. But as he’s mentioned for a while, Masvidal believes things would not end well for the Irishman if they faced each other:
“You know what the f*ck I’ll do to that little dude,” Masvidal said at the post-fight press conference. “I’ll f*ck that little guy up. He’s a f*cking midget. Dana White, president of this motherf*cking company said I’m too much man for him. I get it why people want to see him hurt for the stunts he’s been pulling. But he don’t want this shit.
“He’s just talking so he gets his name out there. He was cheering for Nate. … You see he punches old people in the face because those are fights he could win. He don’t want this sh*t. … You can’t get that dude to sign the paper.”
It looks like McGregor is fighting Donald Cerrone in his comeback anyway. But a fight with Masvidal would certainly be an exciting one down the line.
Would you want to see McGregor face Masvidal? Who wins?

After his doctor stoppage loss to Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244, Nate Diaz wants nothing but an immediate rematch.
After the third-round doctor stoppage of the UFC 244 headliner between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz, both fighters called for an immediate rematch. UFC president Dana White, however, has some other plans for “Gamebred”, stating during a post-fight scrum that an instant part two doesn’t interest him as of the moment.
But for the younger Diaz brother, running it back with Masvidal is the only fight he’s looking to take, next.
“If you’re the baddest motherf—r you’re gonna take that as a win? It’s just like when I fought Conor (the second time),” Diaz told reporters during his post-fight scrum. “It was a win, and it was fair game, but I wasn’t finished. He knows I wasn’t finished. I was ready to rock.
“That’s my plan. That’s my next move. I would love to run it back, that’s the only thing I want to do. And that’s my full intention for now.”
Even with the massive pull he’s brought over the years, Diaz still feels the company will do him wrong, in terms of his next career move.
“But I can already see the f-ckery coming,” he said. “I know how this game works. I gave all the rematches and made names for all these people.
“I believe I was responsible for this whole sh-t,” Diaz added. “I brought the President. Straight up. I didn’t see the President going to no title fights.”
UFC 244 marked Diaz’s second stoppage loss throughout his 12-year UFC run, as he now holds a record of 20-12 (with 16 wins by stoppage).

Nate Diaz wants a rematch with Jorge Masvidal — however, he’s not holding his breath.
Diaz and Masvidal collided for the BMF title in the main event of UFC 244 on Saturday night. It was “Gamebred” who dominated proceedings throughout the fight as he dropped Diaz twice and also opened multiple cuts which left him bloodied.
That would lead to the end of the fight as just before the start of the fourth round, the doctor controversially put an end to the fight due to a cut near Diaz’s eye. Some have called for a rematch while others believe Masvidal was going to win regardless.
UFC president Dana White, in particular, is not too big on the idea of the rematch. And while Masvidal was open to running things back, Diaz is well-aware that he may not get a rematch:
“If you’re the baddest motherf*cker, you’re going to take that and win? It’s just like when I fought Conor,” Diaz said at the post-fight press conference. “It was a win, it was fair game. But I wasn’t finished, he knows I wasn’t finished. I was ready to rock. That’s my plan. That’s my next move. I would love to run it back. That’s the only thing I want to do.
“But I can already see the f*ckery coming. I know how this game works. I give all the rematches and make names for these people. I believe I was responsible for this whole shit. I brought the President. Straight up. I believe it’s fair and hopefully they don’t throw a bunch of money and clout Jorge’s way to do something else.”
Despite the way the contest ended, Diaz still has respect for Masvidal. However, he maintained that he’s coming for him.
“He deserves everything he gets. He’s a great fighter, been around for a long time. … Jorge Masvidal, I’m coming for you. That’s my plan from here on out.”
Do you want to see a rematch? Do you think Diaz will get one?

Diaz and Masvidal went three full rounds inside the Octagon last night. Masvidal was getting the better of the Stockton slugger on the feet, cutting him open early, dropping Diaz several times, and seemingly winning comfortably on the scorecards. However, Diaz began to pick up the pace late in the third and had a bit of momentum prior to the start of round four.
Before the round could start, however, the doctor decided Diaz’s cuts were too dangerous to continue fighting with, and ordered the fight be called off. The crowd erupted with boos, and both Masvidal and Diaz called for the rematch. UFC president Dana White, however, isn’t interested.
What do you think about Diaz’s message for Masvidal after their UFC 244 main event? Do you think the UFC will ultimately make the rematch?
