Jorge Masvidal News

Tom Taylor - November 27, 2019

Jorge Masvidal recently expressed interest in a fight with boxing star Canelo Alvarez. Unfortunately for the red-hot UFC welterweight, Alvarez doesn’t seem very interested in this cross-over matchup — though he admits it would be a good business opportunity. “I say this with all respect: If I go into his sport, I have nothing to do there. And I think the same about boxing: If (MMA fighters) come into boxing, they have nothing to do here,” Canelo told Little Giant Boxing of a fight with Masvidal (via MMA Junkie). “But looking at it from a business standpoint, it is attractive, but it’s not a challenge for me, so it’s not my priority.

Pound-for-pound boxing star Canelo Alvarez admits a potential fight with surging UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal is alluring from a business standpoint, but not from a competitive standpoint. For that reason, the boxer is not especially interested in a cross-over fight with the UFC star — be in the boxing ring or the cage.

Jorge Masvidal has been happily competing as a 170-pound UFC welterweight for the last few years. Speaking on Twitter on Monday, however, the streaking welterweight contender announced that he can make 154 pounds. Yes it is true. I can make 154 #theresurrection

The story of Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington has been a classic friends-to-enemies story that has bubbled over into a potential grudge match in 2020. Yet as the rivalry is slowly building into a potential blockbuster welterweight showdown, not everyone is 100-percent on board. Should Covington defeat Kamaru Usman at UFC 245 next month, there would be a high likelihood of Masvidal getting the fight with his former friend.

Jorge Masvidal wants Conor McGregor to accept a fight or stop talking about it. On Twitter, ESPN put out a list out for the biggest fights for McGregor and Masvidal in 2020, which caught the attention of the Irishman.

Jorge Masvidal is now the owner of the UFC’s BMF title, and he could very well be fighting for the welterweight title in his next fight. Yet Dan Lambert, the owner of American Top Team, is hoping for something else for “Gamebred” next. Lambert and the team at ATT know Masvidal wants the biggest payday so they are hoping a Conor McGregor fight can come to fruition. If that fight doesn’t materialize, Lambert believes Nick Diaz makes the most sense for Masvidal.

Nick Diaz’s former coach Cesar Gracie believes that the former Strikeforce star would “crush” guys like Jorge Masvidal when he’s at his best. Diaz hasn’t fought inside the Octagon since back in January 2015, almost five years ago, in his main event showdown with Anderson Silva which was overturned to a no contest. Ever since then he’s largely stayed away from the MMA bubble, with his younger brother Nate taking advantage of that by becoming one of the biggest stars in the sport.

UFC commentator Joe Rogan and UFC middleweight champ Israel Adesanya recently sat down for a chat on the JRE MMA Show. The pair discussed a breadth of topics, including the recent BMF title fight between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz. While the pair did not agree on the BMF title itself — Rogan liked the idea, Adesanya wasn’t so sure — they were unanimous in their praise of Masvidal.

“BMF” Champion Jorge Masvidal has hinted at the possibility of a big future with Telemundo as his star continues to rise within the world of mixed martial arts. Masvidal has been on a phenomenal run of form in the UFC this year, coming off the back of a layoff that had many questioning whether or not he would be able to get himself back into contention. After finishes over Darren Till, Ben Askren and Nate Diaz, it’s become pretty clear that “Gamebred” is next in line for a shot at the UFC Welterweight Championship if he so desires.

Jorge Masvidal is perplexed by Nick Diaz’s recent comments and is unsure if he really wants to fight. “Gamebred” is coming off a victory against Diaz’s younger brother, Nate Diaz at UFC 244 on November 2. The fight was ended after round three due to a doctor’s stoppage, leaving Masvidal to claim victory and the unprecedented “BMF” title.

UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal has claimed that he won’t bully Conor McGregor into taking a fight against him. In the wake of Masvidal’s “BMF” Championship victory at UFC 244, fans around the world have listed a series of potential opponents for his next fight. Some have suggested he’ll take on the winner of the UFC 245 main event between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington, some believe he’ll box Canelo Alvarez, and others feel like the proposed McGregor showdown is a real possibility.

Nick Diaz believes he is MMA’s true ‘Baddest Motherf****r’ and should thus hold the title. Although Jorge Masvidal beat Nate Diaz in the main event of UFC 244 to win the BMF title, Nick doesn’t consider “Gamebred” the real BMF. He says that belt should have been his from the get-go but he didn’t want to get in the way of his younger brother, Nate, pursuing it.

Nate Diaz has responded to a fight fan who allegedly lost his rent money betting on the Stockton native in the UFC 244 main event. Diaz was defeated by Jorge Masvidal by way of third round TKO, this after the cage side physician called a stop to the scrap due to lacerations on the eye of the ‘Stockton Slugger’.

During a recent interview with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, Nick Diaz seemingly opened the door to a future fight with Jorge Masvidal. While he also claimed he has no interest in fighting again, he added that he took issue with some of Masvidal’s recent comments to his brother Nate, and hinted that he’d be willing to fight Masvidal inside AT&T Stadium for the right price. “All I see is f*cking dollar signs right now,” Diaz said of Masvidal (via MMA News). “It’s not on me. You wanna talk about baptizing my younger brother, that’s on you. I never had nothing disrespectful to say, but you don’t talk about baptizing my younger brother. So you’re already in a f*cked up position if you fight with me. You don’t f*cking talk about baptizing someone’s younger brother. That’s my baby brother, you don’t talk like that to nobody. So who rides on who’s side?

Nick Diaz claims he has no interest in fighting again. He made that feeling quite clear during a recent interview with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani. That being said, he does seem to have a bone to pick with Jorge Masvidal, who recently defeated his younger brother Nate, and implied that he’d be willing to battle the Cuban-American at AT&T Stadium if the price is right. In particular, the elder Diaz bro took issue with Masvidal claiming he would “baptize” Nate.

Jorge Masvidal was victorious in the UFC 244 main event, which meant that he, not his vanquished opponent Nate Diaz, was awarded the BMF title by pro wrestling legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Diaz, who came up short after the cage-side doctor deemed him unfit to continue fighting due to a laceration on his brow, was not particularly pleased with the way things unfolded, and even took a shot at The Rock post-fight.

Chris Taylor - November 9, 2019

Nate Diaz has shared a photo of the moment he claims Jorge Masvidal no longer wanted to be in their fight at UFC 244 in New York. The ‘Stockton Slugger’ suffered a third round TKO loss to ‘Gamebred’ in the headliner of last weekend’s pay-per-view event at Madison Square Garden.

Cole Shelton - November 8, 2019

Jorge Masvidal may very well be Nate Diaz’s final opponent in MMA. After Masvidal beat Diaz by doctor stoppage in the main event of UFC 244, Diaz was not happy with it. He wanted a rematch, yet Dana White was not interested so the Stockton, California-native instead said goodbye to the fight game.
