the defeat of Jorge masvidal for Colby covington didn't shake the veteran's prestige with Ultimate, at least that's what he thinks Chael Sonnen. According to the commentator, 'Jesus das Ruas' could still bring a return to the UFC and his former rival Anderson Silva You have an idea that you consider ideal. For 'American Gangster', the company could profit from 'marrying' a confrontation between the veteran and Conor McGregor.

“I don’t think (Jorge) Masvidal has lost his shine. He is only after Conor McGregor, as the second biggest star in our sport. He's still a guy we want to see,” said the commentator on 'The Chael Sonnen Show with Jorge Sedano', linked to 'ESPN'.
After comparing Masvidal's prestige with that of the 'Notorious', Masvidal's former rival Anderson Silva went further. For the analyst, the UFC could take advantage of the stars' negative streak and promote a clash between them.
“I think it’s time. 'International Fight Week' is the date. Let’s put McGregor against Masvidal once and for all,” he concluded.
With the loss to Covington in the UFC 272, Jorge reached the mark of three consecutive defeats in his career, an unprecedented situation until then. Former double Ultimate champion, Conor is also not experiencing his best moments. Recovering from a serious injury suffered last season, the Irishman suffered two stumbles in a row.
