Jorge Masvidal Gives 3 Letter Reaction to UFC Heart-Throb Laura Sanko Labeling Conor McGregor as a “UK Fighter”

Jorge Masvidal is undoubtedly one of the most noted names in the UFC. ‘Gamebred’ is known for his exceptional striking capabilities inside the Octagon. He also holds the record for the fastest knockout ever in the UFC. Masvidal is also the ‘BMF’ of the UFC, a title which he earned by defeating ‘The Stockton Gangster’, Nate Diaz. MMA fans also know ‘Gamebred’ for his affinity towards social media. He puts out posts on his social media handles quite regularly. Recently, the ‘BMF’ of the UFC took to Facebook once more and vented out his amazement at one of the noted ESPN and UFC analysts, Laura Sanko, for her choices.

UFC fans may remember that Sanko was the person interviewing Masvidal just before his infamous backstage brawl with the current UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards. Laura Sanko appeared on a UFC 282 pre-event show along with the former champ-champ, Daniel Cormier. This is where the incident happened which shocked Masvidal.

It bewildered Jorge Masvidal to see Conor McGregor on Laura Sanko’s list

Amid various discussions in the show, a list of Laura Sanko’s top 5 active UK fighters’ was displayed. But, to most fans’ surprise, the list also featured the Irishman, Conor McGregor in the no. 2 spot. Masvidal was evidently shocked at Laura Sanko, including the Irish McGregor inside a list supposed to be composed of UK fighters.

Sanko was a well-versed analyst of the UFC who had conducted interviews with the biggest names of the promotion. This slip from her is bound to raise a few eyebrows. Masvidal wasn’t an exception to it.

Masvidal shared the snap when the list of Laura Sanko‘s top 5 active UK fighters’, including Conor McGregor, was featured on the screen. He also captioned his post with a “WOW”.

Conor McGregor can be called a proud Irish. He wears his Irish identity on his sleeve. He has also carried the flag of Ireland with him to the Octagon multiple times. Considering all these, it is even hard to believe that Sanko made such a huge slip.

Jorge Masvidal might be unaware that Daniel Cormier corrected Sanko

As soon as the list was displayed, the anchor of the show raised the initial finger. He asked Sanko, “But is Ireland in the UK?”. But, the UFC analyst probably seemed to have no idea that the UK and Ireland were different countries that were neighboring each other. She said, “Yes, yes”.

Daniel Cormier seated just opposite Sanko, objected to her answer saying, “How’s Conor on the list? He’s not from the UK.” But Sanko continued to argue, “Yes, he is [from the UK]. The United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain”.

She finally realized her mistake when ‘DC’ asked the others present about who was right in this regard. Sanko admitted, “I’m wrong”. It would have been interesting if McGregor himself got to see the entire thing. His reaction would have been noteworthy.
