Jorge Masvidal says that he can receive a title shot in opposition to champion Leon Edwards with a formidable procure over Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 on Saturday, but is Masvidal eyeing one thing even higher?
Feeble two division UFC champion Conor McGregor coached The Final Fighter in opposition to Michael Chandler, but a signed bout agreement between the 2 will not be any where to be learned. If a strive in opposition to with Chandler doesn’t materialize, Masvidal would desire to ‘assign records’ with McGregor.
“I’ve sold myself 1.3 million pay-per-views, and Conor, I mean, the memoir goes without saying. Upright 1.3 in one evening in opposition to me and [Kamaru] Usman within the first one,” Masvidal informed TMZ Sports activities. “It’s a promoter’s dream. It’s the dream strive in opposition to for a promoter, however the UFC can’t receive him to signed the dotted line.”
If he had been to gain himself combating McGregor, Masvidal likes his potentialities in opposition to the Irishman.
“I judge in loads of ways I’m no doubt, no doubt unhealthy for Conor’s kind, brass, and ticket because I’m no longer going to take him down and peer what he’s about. I’m going to beat the f**king piss out of him in standup. I’m going to make him quit standup. I’m going take his photos, snicker at them, and then give them actual support and ruin him,” Masvidal mentioned.
“I do know that he is conscious of that. He mentioned it. Dana [White] has mentioned that I’m a bigger, stronger, meaner guy. I will’t assign a gun to his head to signal. It’s wins,” persevered Masvidal.
“That dude ain’t looking out out for to receive in there with me. He is conscious of that we’ve had some identical opponents to where I’ve dismantled them and he’s taken them to choices significantly at 170. He’s love fun-sized at 170.”
