A potential fight between Jorge Masvidal and Jake Paul has become a talking point over the past few days. MMA journalist John Morgan recently weighed in on on a clash between the two. Morgan feels like the UFC will be taking a huge risk if they let the fight happen anytime soon.
John Morgan was on a recent episode of Submission Radio and compared Paul vs. Masvidal to the mega showdown between McGregor and Mayweather back in 2017. He further gave reasons as to why allowing Jorge Masvidal to fight Jake Paul would be a risky bet for the UFC:
"The UFC got involved with the Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather because that was kind of a once in a generation type clash of superstars and I think that they felt like no matter what happened in that matchup you know Conor McGregor was still going to be Conor McGregor. You know if Jorge Masvidal was to go out there and suffer for the same fate as Tyron Woodley, it's a little tough to bring him back in the UFC and market him as the BMF."
Watch John Morgan's full conversation on Submission Radio below:
John Morgan certainly presents a valid opinion on the potential Paul vs. Masvidal fight debate. Even though Jorge Masvidal is on a two-fight losing streak, he is still one of the biggest names in the UFC. If the UFC were to allow 'Gamebred' to take on Jake Paul and he ends up losing to 'The Problem Child', it would certainly affect Masvidal's marketability.
Why did Jorge Masvidal decline Jake Paul's $5 million offer?
Jake Paul recently offered Jorge Masvidal the biggest purse of his career. However, Masvidal isn't too excited about Paul's offer of $5 million plus pay-per-view shares. 'Gamebred' believes the offer of $5 million is "chump change" and the UFC won't allow him to crossover for it.
Jorge Masvidal countered Jake Paul's offer with a demand of $20 million. He further claimed that the promotion would be okay with it and would allow him to fight Paul for $20 million. Looking at the vast difference between the two offers, it is safe to say that we are not getting Paul vs. Masvidal anytime soon.
