Jorge Masvidal Doesn’t Think Conor McGregor Wants To Fight Him

Conor McGregor claims he wants to fight Jorge Masvidal, but “Gamebred” isn’t buying that.

Masvidal became one of mixed martial arts’ (MMA) biggest stars after his phenomenal 2019 run. He kicked off the year with a big knockout win over Darren Till, broke the all-time fastest UFC knockout record with a five-second flying knee against Ben Askren, and became the BMF Champ by defeating Nate Diaz at UFC 244.

Shortly after the fight UFC president Dana White was asked about a possible fight between Masvidal and McGregor. However, White was pretty adamant that Masvidal was too big for McGregor. This seemed to upset the Irishman, who now apparently wants to prove the UFC boss wrong. However, speaking in a recent interview with Submission Radio, Masvidal says he isn’t buying it.

“I don’t know if Conor wins it means that he fights me. I really don’t know that. I don’t think so. From watching interviews, hearing things, I don’t think so. I think buddy goes a different path. Maybe I’m just looking into the future, but I don’t think so. I think I’m gonna end up making owl soup at some point this year.”

McGregor will need to get past his next opponent before locking in a fight with Masvidal. He’ll headline UFC 246 on pay-per-view (PPV) against Cerrone from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 18. It will be the Irishman’s first fight since his October 2018 submission loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Jorge Masvidal is all about the money at this point in his career, and rightfully so.

“Gamebred” comes off of a Fighter Of The Year run in 2019, knocking out three high-level opponents and capturing the first-ever Baddest Mother F*cker Championship. Now, Masvidal has made a compelling case to receive the next shot at the 170-pound title. However, there are plenty of other big money options out there for Masvidal.

One of those options being a clash with Conor McGregor. Recently, McGregor noted that he likes the idea of several matchups at 170 pounds, and is even eying the division’s championship. Speaking to Submission Radio recently, Masvidal called McGregor’s welterweight title aspirations “cute.”

“It’s cute, man. Conor, it’s cute. It’s just cute. It’s basically where it’s at. You don’t do nothing at 170. You have some type of power at 155. You could skip, I don’t know who and what. At 155, that’s cool. But at 170, that wouldn’t even be a conversation, just based on his record alone. He’s like one and one at 170. 

“And on top of it, he’d have to go through me to get the title shot. I dictate who gets the next title shot and when. And that’s just simple. If I’m fighting Conor, then maybe somebody else gets the title shot. If I’m not fighting Conor, then I’m fighting right for this title. Well then, I’m having fucken owl soup.”

In regards to other possible money fights out there, the topic of Georges St-Pierre continues to come off the lips of many top UFC stars. Masvidal said he’s open to fighting “GSP,” and would love to break his face in the process.

“Well, they’ve said this about me, that I resurrect fighters and then I retire them again. So, I wouldn’t mind if GSP jumped on that campaign. In all honestly, as a competitor, I want to fucking break his face. I want to go out there and give him everything I got. But I respect the time what he’s done. Then he took I don’t know how many years off, came back, beat Bisping for the legitimate middleweight title. Dude’s a stud. He’s a fucking animal, bro. I would put everything into my being, into my soul, to end this individual, because he’s that good. 

“He’s the type of fighter, this shit would require a nice training camp, isolation away from the world and just focus on the task, just day in and day out, cause he’s a hell of competitor, and I’m not taking a back seat to nobody in this division. So, I would love it. You can’t compare Usman to GSP or nothing. Even if he’d be a bad style for GSP or not – which I don’t think he is – you couldn’t compare them. 

“And then after GSP because of the sheer volume and stuff, I definitely throw my boy Woodley in there, Robbie Lawler as well. I mean, welterweight has just had some psychopaths in that weight class that are just mean individuals, that are athletic as hell. I mean, Robbie was just sheer violence when he had that title. Same thing with Woodley, man. 

“With Woodley, all it takes is one shot and the fight is over. And he can wrestle his ass off too. So, there’s just some great studs, man. I think I got in the “who guy” – shit, I think I got the easy draw, man. I used to fuck with my boy T-Wood and Robbie man. I think my work’s cut for me obviously, I don’t take nobody lightly that has two hands.”
