Jorge Masvidal has taken a complete U-turn ever since throwing out the idea of fighting Conor McGregor at UFC 244 post-fight press conference. However, soon after Conor McGregor officially announced his return to the octagon, Masvidal has not missed a chance for a potential match against McGregor. Both the fighters have exchanged words at various media interactions. Additionally, a match-up between Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor looks incredible. 

In the lead up to one of the most awaited PPV, UFC hosted a Media Day conference, where fighters answered multiple questions by the reporters. Masvidal also attended the Media Day, and the UFC welterweight champion wasted no time in calling out Conor McGregor yet again.  

Masvidal reminds why Conor McGregor fight is more important

“I won’t say it’s not the right move. Usman is a fight, Conor is obviously flirting with the idea of fighting me. And if me and Conor go in the octagon, what happens is one of the biggest fights in history. What Conor has been doing, the last couple of fights I have had.
