Masvidal comments on potential fight against McGregor: 'They're going to feel sorry for him'

Without fighting for over a year, Conor McGregor he continues to be the target of provocations from athletes who would like to face him in an MMA fight. Even coming off a defeat, the Irishman, who announced his return to the Octagon for January 18th, when he faces Donald Cerrone, ended up being challenged by one of the most relevant names in the UFC in 2019. In an interview with 'The Jim Rome Show', the North American spoke about a possible fight against the 'Notório'.

“He (Conor) melts. What the world is waiting for him is for him to suffer and be punished for some of the things he did in public,” said Jorge.

With no date, confirmation or, at least, prediction of when the two could exchange forces in the octagon, Masvidal didn't seem to care and, even so, continued to draw up plans for when he would face the 'Notorious'.

“Everyone will feel sorry for him after the fight. I can say that. They will forgive you after the fight, I can promise. This baptism will be a toast for Mr. Conor”, ​​said the North American.

The possibility of Conor facing Jorge in a confrontation increases when Masvidal states that his biggest interest is to perform in fights that can yield a greater financial return. McGregor, in turn, is known worldwide for having changed the way he promotes his fights and for participating in cards that broke audience records in the history of MMA.

An obstacle for the dispute to take place in the near future would be a victory for McGregor over Cerrone. A victory over the veteran could put the Irishman in an immediate title shot against Khabib Nurmagomedov. The information was released by the president of Ultimate, Dana White.

While the 'Notório' has remained away from the sport since his defeat in the fight for the lightweight title (up to 70,3kg.), Jorge remained active and had, in 2019, the year of his dreams, winning great battles and heading one of the most watched cards of the year (UFC 244).
