Jorge Masvidal's next fight
Jorge Masvidal revealed that he had met with the UFC management and had been presented with options for his next fight. He said when it comes to his next fight, it was going to be about the paycheck.
“My next paycheck is going to reflect the breakthrough that I’ve done. For a fact – and if it doesn’t, there’s going to be a (expletive) problem, man. Me and my management are going to do whatever the (expletive) I say. That’s what we’re going to do.” h/t MMA Junkie
Jorge Masvidal decided that he did not care who he was fighting as long as he was paid right.
“If they open up the checkbook, I’ll fight King Kong in his prime. All they’ve got to do is open up that checkbook. You guys all know. The reason why you guys are here right now is to get an interview off me to put it online, to make people go clickbait on it. Obviously, I’m generating traction.” h/t MMA Junkie
It remains to be seen who he ends up facing, but it should be interesting.
