Jorge Masvidal doubts Conor McGregor makes UFC return: “We’ll see him at a bar and shit”
During an interview with MMAFighting.com, Jorge Masvidal opined on the fighting future of Conor McGregor.
“We’ll see him at a bar and shit,” Masvidal responded to MMA Fighting when asked if we’ll see McGregor again. “Are you talking about in the cage? Like as an official or to be judges? You mean fighting? I don’t think so. I hope he proves me wrong but I don’t think so.”
Masvidal went on to say that if McGregor does return to action, the “Notorious” one wouldn’t dare fight him.
“Conor, under no circumstances, is fighting me,” Masvidal said. “He’s backed out of fighting Chandler — poor little Chandler, I don’t know how many times he let that dude eat dust. Imagine me?
“That guy is never fighting me. He can’t do enough cocaine to fcking get [jacked] up to fight me.”*
Masvidal has teased making a UFC comeback. Dana White recently sounded a little less optimistic, saying the likes of “Gamebred” and Tyron Woodley aren’t likely to be making promotional returns.
Masvidal still feels he has some juice left in the tank. Where he’ll get a chance to prove that is the case will be interesting to watch out for in the coming weeks and months.
McGregor isn’t fighting anyone. He is fresh off another weekend on the blow. The problem is he still thinks he’s a fighter. Famously, fighters can’t handle retirement. The only difference with CM is that he retired will still effectively in his prime. Ego and partying ruined his career. You can’t be a playboy and a world champion in a tough sport. It just doesn’t happen.
If this is in Saudi Arabia it has a chance since Conor doesnt have to pass drug tests or anything. They just have to load him on a flight the day of with enough coke to believe he can win.
Conor McGregor vs. Dan Hooker? Ball’s in UFC’s Court
During an appearance on Submission Radio, Dan Hooker discussed the possibility of fighting Conor McGregor next year.
“We’re kindred spirits, as you can see. We get along quite well. I think we’re both very similar. There’s a lot of similarities there. We just spoke in the ring. I’m on board, he’s on board,” Hooker said. “We just need to get the UFC on board and we’ll get this thing across the line.”
McGregor hasn’t competed inside the Octagon in over three years, but that hasn’t stopped him from jaw jacking with other fighters. He recently took aim at UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria during an interview with Jamal Niaz.
“F** hin, f*** him. This isn’t his home country,” McGregor declared. “This is my home country, baby! Marvilla, Spain, where is he at? This is not his home country, he knows where his home country is, and it’s not España…*
“So good luck Max Holloway. F** him up!”*
Prior to meeting up with Hooker during the BKFC event, McGregor told The Schmo that there were multiple names on the table as far as his next opponent is concerned.
“We’re looking for the date.” Conor McGregor responded when asked about his UFC return. “I’d like to square it away with Michael Chandler [first]. You know, I’d really like to get Chandler in. We’ve had our beef, and it’s not settled. But now he has a match scheduled.”
He continued, “I would like to fight before he’s recovered [after fighting Oliveira]. There are a few names in line at the moment. There’s a few names being discussed.”
