Jorge Masvidal Issues an Ultimatum to Conor McGregor Amidst Talks of Dwayne Johnson-Endorsed UFC Title Belt Defense

Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal, two proven PPV stars for the UFC, could square off against each other soon. ‘Gamebred‘ has put forward a challenge for ‘The Notorious‘. The Miami-based athlete is ready to put his BMF championship on the line, but he would need something in return from the Irish superstar.

In an interview with Adam Catterall and Nick Peet, Masvidal made some bold comments about the self-proclaimed ‘Face of the Fight Game’.

When asked who ‘Gamebred‘ wants to face next, Masvidal responded, “Before this guy [Conor McGregor] like overdoses on cocaine and then the fight never happens, you know, and I don’t get to make all that easy money. I just want to break Conor’s face. Just let’s get that paycheck, let’s get that out of the way; sell the most PPVs ever.”

Later, the 37-year-old raised the stakes, to lure ‘The Notorious‘ to accept the bout, as he proposed, “I’ll bring out the BMF belt only for a bad mf***er and some cash money… You’re a bad mf***er you got money. Let’s put some money; Let’s get a little escrow going… I put a couple of millions aside, you put a couple of million asides.”

Besides, Masvidal added, “It comes with a belt, there’s a cherry on top… That’s what a bad mf***er would do to get this money.”

The American Top Team athlete won the ‘BMF’ championship against Conor McGregor’s foe, Nate Diaz, at UFC 244 in 2019. Dwayne ‘The Rock‘ Johnson presented Masvidal with the belt.

UFC 244 remains the last time Masvidal got his hand raised in the promotion. As, he lost three five-rounder PPV headliners (UFC 251, UFC 261, UFC 272) after that bout against two of the best welterweight fighters in the world – Kamaru Usman (twice) and Colby Covington.

Whereas, SBG Ireland athlete’s last win came against Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC 246 in 2020. Since then, McGregor has lost twice at UFC 257 and UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier.

Jorge Masvidal wants Gilbert Burns next if he can’t get Conor McGregor

The former two-times UFC welterweight title challenger, Masvidal, is not waiting for former UFC dual champion Conor McGregor to accept a contest against him.

‘Gamebred’ picked ‘Durinho‘ as his next opponent if ‘Mr. Whiskey’ couldn’t get into the Octagon with Masvidal.

“Gilbert’s a good fight for me; I like him as a fighter because he comes to fight; He comes to either submit a guy or knock the guy the f*** out,” said the 37-year-old.
