Masvidal said, “He is false, he knows that I am a man who hits hard and that I come to kill, I do not come to play hug in the cage, I am going to give everything inside me to kill him, and I have a little size, although now it is puncturing and putting steroids and all kinds of things, but he is still a little boy.”

“I would love to fight at 170 pounds, but I don’t wait for anyone. If he wants to do it, I’ll break his face, if he doesn’t want to do it, let him come next,” added ‘Street Jesus.’

He said,”“the body’s doing good. I’m out here my full team you know. Obviously, I’m enjoying the Monaco Grand Prix, and then you know. After that, we’re going to up the training a little bit, bit by bit. I should be able to kick now. Another CT scan now in the coming days and then I’ll be clear to kick. Once I can kick and grapple, I’ll be back in no time. So boxing training has gone well and strength training and that so I’m excited to get back.”
