Dana White on a potential fight between Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal
Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal are two fighters who have immense star power. Both fighters, through their personalities, are able to sell fights. A bout between them could break records, but UFC President Dana White seems least interested in it.
Dana White believed that Conor McGregor, who made his UFC debut at featherweight, would have size issues going into the fight against Masvidal. He said, “Masvidal is too big for Conor McGregor.”
Following this statement, the UFC President was notified that McGregor has already competed at welterweight against Diaz. Replying to it, White made a shocking revelation. “He shouldn’t have. I hated that he did it. Not only did I hate that he did it once; I hated that he did it twice,” said White.
The Notorious, who has achieved success in two divisions, does not belong anywhere else White felt. The UFC president added, “He doesn’t belong at that weight. He’s too big for Conor. Conor doesn’t belong at 170″
Even though the UFC President has ruled out a contest between Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal, fans will hope for the fight to be made. It will be interesting to see who prevails in this potential fight between the two.
