The UFC 303 was supposed to be headlined by Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler initially. But as it turns out, McGregor broke his toe and bowed out of the fight. McGregor’s drawing power is well-known, and he is the biggest superstar in the octagon, having headlined all the highest-selling PPVs in the UFC. However, the Mac recently got accused by former BMF strap holder Jorge Masvidal, and he did not mince his words.
Jorge Masvidal was considered one of the biggest names in the UFC promotion. Currently, he’s in camp to face Nate Diaz in boxing. It seems like the striking specialist can’t get over UFC and is calling out the fighters signed to the promotion.
Jorge Masvidal Lashes Out At Conor McGregor
Former BMF strap holder Jorge Masvidal had some harsh words for Conor McGregor for trying to avoid a fight against him. Masvidal said,
The UFC has tried to make this fight happen, and Conor doesn’t want it. He doesn’t want the damn fight. He never mentions my name, but we’re the biggest fight possible. You think Michael Chandler sells more than me vs. Conor? Nobody in their right mind thinks that. … I’m one of the biggest pay-per-view draws of the UFC in the last five-six years. Of course, we’d break records, but this guy won’t do it. … In my future, I don’t see this fight happening unless I run into him at a parking lot.
Masvidal revealed that the UFC tried to make a fight between the two, but Conor did not want anything to do with him. Jorge claims Conor is avoiding him even after knowing the duo are the biggest draws in the UFC and a fight between the two will attract many eyeballs to the octagon.
Jorge Masvidal will take on Nate Diaz in the boxing ring next month. The former Welterweight title contender will be the heavy favorite against Nate Diaz in the ring. The MMA fanbase would love to see Jorge back in the octagon.
