Jorge Masvidal has been around for awhile. His first MMA bout occurred all the way back in 2003. And then there was the time he spent as a street fighter in the early years of his career.<\/p>\n

On Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour<\/a>, Masvidal looked back to the halcyon days of his career, when fighters took on all comers and gave no quarter, often competing multiple times in a single night. In the modern era of money fights and champions hand-picking their opponents, Masvidal explained the he\u00a0remembers those good old days very fondly.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack in the day, we had to fight three or four times in one night without dodging nobody,\u201d he said (via MMAMania.com<\/a>). \u201cThat\u2019s what the sport was built on and a lot of the guys that came in after that had that similar mindset. Just compete, fight the best and keep winning. Now it\u2019s just fight the guy that you can beat or this and that.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Masvidal was then asked to confirm that he was speaking specifically about middleweight champion Michael Bisping, who many believe has been avoiding a fight with streaking contender Yoel Romero.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBitchbing, yeah. That\u2019s who I\u2019m talking about. But, it\u2019s just not him there is a bunch of dudes, but he is leading the front. He\u2019s the front man. But, I don\u2019t even want to talk about him on your show because I\u2019m not going to make that dude famous. We\u2019re not going to make that dude famous. Let him go out there, win some fights and let him generate his own name. I wasn\u2019t even going to say that bitch\u2019s name.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
