“To be frank, he was flirting with the winner (Jorge vs. Diaz) when he thought the favorite was Nate. And he wouldn't stop talking about it. He even made his prediction that Nate would win. Since I won, he hasn’t made a peep,” said Masvidal.
The North American, however, seems to follow the premise used in the fight against his last opponent, when the combatants followed a script of respect and admiration for each other's work. For Masvidal, provocation does not always need to be present in sport. But even so, the athlete took the opportunity to try to get Conor's attention.
“I’m not going to be a bully. I'm not going to be one of those cyber bullies. If you don't want to fight, then don't fight. If you want to fight, I'm ready. Dude, let's go shopping. Let's do this big. Do you know what I'm saying? That guy (Conor) doesn’t want it”, said Jorge.
Winner of the unprecedented belt that would reward the sport's toughest athlete, Masvidal now has a great future ahead of him. The president of Ultimate, Dana White, stated that, at this moment, there are a range of opportunities to be studied for the fighter.
Third in the welterweight rankings (up to 77kg), Jorge is a serious candidate to face the winner of the clash between Kamaru Usman e Colby covington, which exchange forces in the UFC 245, which takes place on December 14th. The fight will be valid for the division's linear title.
