“If they paid me BMF money, but the UFC won't raise the offer, so I'm sorry Gilbert. I already got my contract. I already signed my sh*t. I couldn't care less. Three rounds is more than I need for Gilbert. I like all the publicity and all the extra he's putting into this fight, but brother, three rounds is all I need,” said the American.
Talking about what he expects from the fight, Jorge masvidal assured that, despite Gilbert Durinho affirming that he will accept the fight standing up, he is preparing to deal with the Brazilian's grappling.
“I’m glad it’s a guy like Gilbert. I'm in this sport to face the best of the best in the world, and it's perfect in a lot of ways for me to test my grappling, because I know it will test my grappling. I know he's going to talk a lot about getting in there and trading with me and all that BMF sh*t, but at the end of the day, I'm 'Gamebred', he's Gilbert, he's going to go down at 100 miles per time and hope you get it. If that fails, he will trade with me. So I'll be prepared for the fight with him and everyone else nearby. I know I have the hands to beat all these guys. I have knees and elbows that change lives in seconds. I just need to make fine adjustments to some things and I’m working on that”, he concluded.
