Jorge Masvidal is returning to the octagon, as long-awaited by fans. After losing to Colby Covington and facing three charges due to an alleged assault, the welterweight contender is set to fight Gilbert Burns. Despite Burns’ claims that Masvidal was ducking the fight, the bout is officially scheduled. In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani for the MMA Hour, Masvidal made a stunning revelation. He said that UFC tried to set up a fight between him and Conor McGregor.

McGregor, affectionately known as ‘Notorious’, is returning from a hiatus and is preparing for his next potential opponent. Many reports link him to a fight with Michael Chandler. Meanwhile, two UFC veterans, Anthony Smith, and Michael Bisping share the same sentiment – that a fight between McGregor and Masvidal would be an epic match-up.

Masvidal’s fighting style, known for its raw aggression and relentless pace, combined with McGregor’s striking prowess, would make for a highly entertaining fight. This potential bout has fans salivating at the thought of two of the biggest names in UFC going head-to-head. Both McGregor and Masvidal have a reputation for putting on a show and this fight would be no exception. Whether this fight will come to fruition remains unclear. Although the welterweight contender disclosed that chances of a potential super fight happening is low.

Masvidal Calls Out Conor McGregor: Claims the UFC Superstar is Ducking Him

Masvidal, who holds the BMF championship title, has been making headlines for his bold claims about McGregor. The two fighters were linked to a potential match-up for some time, but according to Masvidal, McGregor is avoiding the fight. “I want Conor, but Conor doesn’t want me,” He added that every time the UFC has proposed the fight, McGregor has declined.

He said, “I want Conor, but Conor doesn’t want me. It sucks, you know? He just doesn’t want it. Every time the UFC’s brought it up, he shuts it down.”

Masvidal believes that his style, size, and power make him a formidable opponent for McGregor. He claims that he is bigger, quicker, and hits harder than McGregor. Despite this, he understands that stylistically, the fight may not be the best fit for McGregor or his brand.

The speculation around this potential fight continues to grow, with fans eager to see these two top-tier fighters step into the octagon. Masvidal’s recent comments have only added fuel to the fire, leaving fans to wonder whether McGregor will eventually agree to the fight.  One thing is for sure – it would be a highly anticipated and unforgettable match-up.
