“I'm a normal-sized man, while he's a very small, fragile guy. He doesn't want that (a fight against me). You can't pay this man enough money, so it's okay. (I) don’t need it,” Masvidal said.

Despite having two consecutive defeats – both for the welterweight title (77kg.) -, Jorge is sixth in the division's rankings and plans to fight for the belt again. Now, the North American reveals his desire to face another fighter who is among the best in the category to achieve his goal.

“The guy who gets me closer and gives me a title fight the quickest (is what I want next). I'll find out (my next opponent) in two weeks. I want to face another top player in the (welterweight) division”, concluded the athlete.

A veteran with stints at Bellator and Strikeforce, the American has exactly 50 fights in professional MMA, with 35 wins and 15 losses.
