Former undisputed welterweight champion, Jorge Masvidal has claimed former duel-weight champion, Conor McGregor is simply too scared to share the Octagon with him – suggesting a clash with the duo would break multiple records under the banner of the UFC.

Masvidal, a former two-time welterweight title challenger and the inaugural symbolic BMF championship winner, has been sidelined from combat sports since April of last year.

And suffering a fourth consecutive loss in his decision defeat, Miami veteran, Masvidal suffered a unanimous decision loss to perennial contender, Gilbert Burns.

Slated to make his sophomore outing in professional boxing next month in Las Vegas, former UFC star, Masvidal will share the ring with another UFC alum, Nate Diaz – in a rematch of their 2019 mixed martial arts fight at Madison Square Garden.

Jorge Masvidal reveals the biggest regret of his UFC career: 'I fought for everything I could'

Announcing plans last month to make a comeback to the UFC in the future regardless of result against Stockton veteran Diaz, Masvidal has once more touched on what he believes would be a record-breaking fight with UFC megastar, McGregor.

Jorge Masvidal laments failed Conor McGregor fight

Claiming he had unsuccessfully attempted to chase a fight with the Dubliner in the past, Masvidal claims a fight with McGregor would smash multiple records in the Dana White-led organization.

“The UFC has tried to make this fight happen, and Conor (McGregor) doesn’t want it,” Jorge Masvidal told MMA Junkie. “He doesn’t want the damn fight. He never mentions my name, but we’re the biggest fight possible. You think Michael Chandler sells more than me versus Conor?”

“Nobody in their fight mind thinks that,” Jorge Masvidal explained. “I’m one of the biggest pay-per-view draws of the UFC in the last five-six years. Of course, we’d break records, but this guy [Conor McGregor] won’t do it. In my future, I don’t see this fight happening unless I run into him in a parking lot.”

As for McGregor, the Dubliner was forced from a UFC 303 return this weekend against Chandler after fracturing a toe on his left foot, however, plans to make a comeback to the Octagon as soon as August – if not September.

First sharing the Octagon with former light heavyweight champion, Prochakza at UFC 295 back in November of last year at Madison Square Garden, Pereira would stop the Czech finishing ace with a second round TKO in New York, felling him with a slew of elbow strikes at the fence before landing ground and pound blows.

Conor McGregor provides update on injury layoff

Already planning his comeback – as he eyes an August return to action, ex-two-weight kingpin, McGregor revealed he underwent stem cell treatment to address his toe injury, however, admits he’s not sure it has worked to the best of its ability.

“They put stem cells – I’ve done everything that they asked – they put stem cells into me, took it from my back and put it in my foot, 20mg (milligrams) from my own back from the bone marrow in,” Conor McGregor told Severe MMA. “Right into the [toe] break.”

“But my f*cking toe is sore, mate,” Conor McGregor explained. “And I don’t know if the stem cells into the break was the right move. I don’t think it’s the swelling anymore – I think it’s just the fluids or stem cells in my toe. So, I’m like, ‘Am I going to have a f*cking swollen toe all the time now?’
