Challenged by the Brazilian, 'Gamebred' confirmed that the interest is mutual, but said that a duel with the Irishman is what 'makes the most sense'

Constantly challenged by Gilbert Durinho, Jorge masvidal sees the possible duel against the Brazilian with good eyes, but not necessarily as a priority. In an interview with the North American website “MMA Fighting”, “Gamebred” pointed out Conor McGregor as a preferred target.

“What makes the most sense is that f***ing Conor (McGregor). I wouldn't mind getting a fat check for kicking that dwarf's s***. I don't know what will happen. Gilbert (Durinho) makes sense, but Leon (Edwards) has also been challenging me, saying he wants to defend the title against me. Come on, I’m going to England and kick your b**** again,” said Masvidal.

On the rise in the UFC despite the defeat suffered against Khamzat Shimaev in a three-round “war” in the UFC 273, in April, Gilbert Durinho has not hidden the desire to face Jorge masvidal, one of the most popular names in the welterweight division. The North American guaranteed that the desire is reciprocal, but he doesn't know when the fight will take place.

“I want to face Gilbert, but will it be this year or next year? I don't know. I need to recover and also, not to be negative, but I have some legal issues that I need to deal with before I return to the scene of the crime. They are accusing me of three crimes, so I need to take care of that and then go back to breaking guys out there”, he concluded.
