Jorge Masvidal has not missed even a single opportunity to get into a big money fight, after his win over Nate Diaz at UFC 244, and an incredible year with victories over Ben Askren and Darren Till. Masvidal has also pointed at a big match-up with Conor McGregor recently. However, his recent comments targeted the former champion and now retired, Georges St-Pierre. 

He spoke to Submission Radio and shared his thoughts on his plans in 2020, and talked about Georges St-Pierre and his legacy.

Masvidal wouldn’t mind sending St-Pierre back to retirement if he ever comes back 

Masvidal did not shy away from calling out one of the all-time greats for a potential match-up if he decides to come back to the octagon.

“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 honesty, as a competitor, I want to f*cking break his face. I want to go out there and give him everything I got. But I respect the time what he’s done.”

Georges St. Pierre’s legacy has left a mark for many fighters to follow and pursue. Despite saying what he said, Masvidal had nothing but respect for the former welterweight and middleweight champion of the world. 

“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 f*cking animal, bro. I would put everything into my being, into my soul, to end this individual, because he’s that good.”

Georges St. Pierre’s return to the octagon seems highly unlikely. However, St. Pierre has always hinted at a return to the octagon if the opponent adds more glory to his legacy. 

What’s next for Jorge Masvidal?

Masvidal will look to add more records to his name going forward in 2020. After an impressive 2019, he grabbed the attention of the entire MMA community. He is next in line for the UFC welterweight championship. Despite showing interest in money fight before a championship fight, Masvidal hasn’t left a single chance to mock the current welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman.
