Since Conor McGregor was defeated in the trilogy against Dustin poirier, on July 10th, there is a lot of discussion about the Irishman's future and who his next opponent should be. One of the names involved in the discussion is the welterweight (up to 77 kg) Jorge masvidal, but, according to the North American's manager, the fight is unlikely to get off the ground.

Malki Kawa, Masvidal's manager, responded to a fan who asked the UFC to match the fight against McGregor. According to him, Ultimate's president, Dana White, considers Masvidal too big to face the Irishman.

“Guys, stop it. Masvidal is too big for him. This is why Dana White never liked this fight”, wrote the businessman.

In a statement shortly after the UFC 264, Dana White stated that he would like to see a fourth fight between Conor McGregor e Dustin poirier, who should be the next challenger for the lightweight belt (up to 70,3 kg), whose owner is the Brazilian Charles of the Bronx.

Like McGregor, Jorge masvidal comes from a sequence of two defeats, both to the champion Kamaru Usman. Before that, the North American scored three consecutive victories against Darren till, Ben Askren and Nate diaz.
