Last month, a widely unheralded Jorge Masvidal<\/a> shocked the world by ending the welterweight win-streak of Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone with a blistering, second-round knockout. With this win, Masvidal rocketed up the welterweight rankings, where battles with the division’s top fighters now await him.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Masvidal has had a very difficult time getting another fight booked. That, of course, is not for lack of trying. Over the last few weeks, the American Top Team staple has expressed interest in fights with Demian Maia<\/a>, Neil Magny<\/a>, Nick Diaz<\/a>, and even returning welterweight great Georges St-Pierre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Masvidal made his callout of St-Pierre on Twitter.<\/p>\n

So @GeorgesStPierre<\/a> coming back. Bet if @seanshelby<\/a> calls him to fight me he'd be hurt too #easymoney<\/a> #makeCanadaGreatAgain<\/a><\/p>\n
