Jorge Masvidal believes Conor McGregor is SCARED of him.
The former UFC welterweight title challenger is currently preparing for an upcoming boxing match against Nate Diaz, the fighter he defeated to win the BMF title at UFC 244. This bout has reignited rumors of a potential super fight between the Miami native and Conor McGregor. However, it was all smoke and mirrors.
In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Masvidal explored the idea of potentially facing McGregor should he decide to re-enter the octagon.
“He’s never mentioned my name,” Masvidal said. “He’s never addressed me, only to say like stupid things or something, but he’s never addressed a fight with me or something because he is scared s***less. If we can’t get him to get into the cage with a guy he’s convinced he can beat, what the f*** will make him get in the cage with me? He knows that I’m not going to take him down. I’m not going to smother him or look for a submission. I’m going to beat the f*** out of him. From when that bell rings until it ends, I’m going to beat the crap out of him standing.
“He knows with Nate Diaz, he got his ass whooped in the first one and in the second one (I thought) he lost as well. I can’t really stand much Nate Diaz, but you can’t take it from him. He beat Conor’s ass rounds two-and-a-half and up, Round 3, 4, 5. He beat the crap out of Conor and this guy couldn’t do nothing to me. Even when (Nate) landed a punch on me, it was like a f***ing mosquito bite for me. I walked right through that thing and gave him some heat and put him down. I think Conor analyzes those things and thinks, ‘Man, this dude is as mean as he looks and athletic, I want no part of this guy. He’s going to take me out of the game the way I don’t want to be taken out.”
Do you agree with Jorge Masvidal?
