Jorge Masvidal is reputed as one of the most fierce strikers inside the Octagon. The ‘BMF’ is known for knocking down and bursting his opponents open with his heavy hand shots. His brutal body kicks and knees are a force to be feared as well. ‘Gamebred’ also holds the record for the fastest knockout, which he scored against Ben Askren. Since then, MMA fans have been eagerly waiting to see him locking horns with another fierce striker and arguably the biggest star of the sport, ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor.

But, the fans have only received disappointment as the president had reportedly denied the possibility of this hugely awaited showdown. The boss’s decision also enraged Masvidal. Since then, he has gone to diss ‘Mystic Mac’ a number of times while appearing on public platforms.

Jorge Masvidal crossed all limits on the Adam Carolla Show

Masvidal joined the noted American radio personality, comedian, actor, and podcaster, Adam Carolla via a call on his show, ‘The Adam Carolla Show’. The noted American radio personality and voice-over artist ‘Gina Grad’, and The New York Times best-selling author, ‘Bald Bryan’, joined Masvidal.

Carolla started off things by questioning Masvidal, “Are you looking to get Conor McGregor in the Octagon?”.

Masvidal answered that he “wouldn’t mind breaking Conor McGregor’s face in the octagon”. His dislike towards McGregor was apparent in his tone. Masvidal has also been evidently frustrated about White’s denial of his fight with ‘The Notorious’.

Carolla had another question for ‘Gamebred’. He asked, “He had a really bad injury last time he fought. Is he coming back? Do you know?. The ‘BMF’ went ‘full-on-rogue’ as he answered Carolla, “I don’t know, I heard it like when your va**na’s hurt so much it’s hard to come back from it, so I’ve no idea if he’s coming back in a …”

Masvidal’s reply had the other guests enthralled as Grad replied, “That’s true. I can vouch for that”. Her sarcasm was pretty apparent as well.

Why the Masvidal vs McGregor showdown hasn’t happened?

The reason for this can never be documented. UFC president, ‘Dana White’, denied the offers of any such fight. McGregor had been dominantly fighting in the ‘155lb’ division and earning good money for them.

They probably didn’t want to risk ‘McGregor’ in going up to 170lbs to fight Masvidal. ‘Gamebred’ has been visibly enraged as he has gone on to deride ‘Mystic Mac’ a number of times.

UFC fans all over the world have also been awaiting this bout. But, with the UFC president thinking the other way, it has only subjected them to disappointment to date.

The coveted scrap between Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson in 2002 was when I realized the passion for combat sports within my family. My interest in combat sports began watching scripted pro wrestling shows. It was my father who directed me towards combat sports and it wasn’t until the late 2010s that I discovered the world of MMA and the UFC. Like many of you, I too, tuned in for the infamous Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor bout live on October 6, 2018. Being an ardent fan of the UFC (and Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier), I was always looking to have conversations about the same with others. But to my disappointment, I hardly found any followers of the sports to interact with. So I took it upon myself to do my part in popularizing the thrill and the agony behind the purest form of unarmed combat. At EssentiallySports, I try to bring the readers closer to the athletes and focus my coverage on exploring the human side of these martial artists. I’m a musician during my time free from reporting MMA. I operate as the lead vocalist of a rock band that aims to make their mark among the audiences with their original alternative-hard rock songs.
