He believes that the face-off between the two would be any promoter’s dream. If the Irishman and Gamebred lock horns, it would undoubtedly be one of the greatest fights in the history of MMA. Masvidal wants the bout. However, the 38-year-old is sure that the fight won’t come to fruition, as the two-division champion will refuse to sign the contract. Nonetheless, the BMF champion is confident that if he could fight McGregor, he would destroy McGregor’s fighting career. It seems that ‘Gamebred’ is plotting the same fate for Conor McGregor as Khabib Nurmagomedov if he doesn’t get a title shot in the welterweight division after negotiating with Dana White.
Jorge Masvidal wants to finish the career of Conor McGregor
Masvidal was talking with TMZ Sports. During the conversation, he expressed his thirst for victory against the Irishman. He said, “I think in many ways I’m really, really bad for Conor’s style, brass, and brand because I’m not gonna take him down and see what he smells like. I’m gonna beat the f***ing piss out of him. I’m gonna make him quit, stand up, I’m gonna take his shots, laugh at him and then give ’em right back and break him.“
Masvidal also believes that if they come face to face, the chances of them breaking the record are one hundred percent sure. He explains how he has sold 1.3 million PPVs. Similarly, the Irishman is popular for breaking records. He further reinforces how the bout between the two can be legendary, but it is McGregor who is not ready for such a bout.
Great things are on the way
At the moment, both Masvidal and McGregor have something huge coming up in their careers. Masvidal will bout against Gilbert Burns on 9th April at UFC 287.
Gamebred will be desperate to win the fight after his last loss against Colby Covington at UFC 272. On the other hand, McGregor is expected to square off against the three-time Bellator lightweight champion, Michael Chandler, after the 31st season of TUF comes to an end.
