Jorge Masvidal is one of the most exciting and entertaining fighters in the UFC. Recently, he has gone on record with a bold claim about former UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor. In a recent interview, Masvidal made it clear that he would easily defeat the Irishman in a match. ‘The Notorious‘ is one of the biggest PPV draws in UFC history. Thus, a fight between these two stars would undoubtedly generate a lot of buzz and interest among fans. However, fans will have to wait to see these two fighters square off.

Both McGregor and Masvidal have big events on the horizon. McGregor will be coaching a team in the 31st season of TUF against Chandler‘s team. Meanwhile, Masvidal will take on Gilbert Burns in the co-main event of UFC 287.
