In fact, he met with some higher-ups at the UFC to discuss just those topics on Monday evening.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"castos-iframe-player\" src=\"https:\/\/bjpenn.castos.com\/player\/98663\" width=\"550\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I feel great right now,&#8221; Masvidal said on <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/podcasts\/bjpenn-com-radio-ep-119-jorge-masvidal\/\">the latest episode of BJPenn.com Radio<\/a>. &#8220;We were just over at the UFC Performance Institute, having a little meeting, a sit-down with the uppers. We want to get a plan formulated and get your boy back in there to fight. The biggest fight possible that I can get my hands on. Not taking any steps back, just forward.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I like to compete so that&#8217;s something you&#8217;ll definitely be seeing me do, man. I&#8217;m trying to get that on paper so I can be competing very soon. We&#8217;re waiting for contracts.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While Jorge Masvidal is making it a priority to fight again very soon, he says it&#8217;s crucial he&#8217;s paid like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BznjaJQFaMr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UFC star<\/a> he&#8217;s become.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Not that I&#8217;m going to throw a fit now, but I need to get paid,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I need to make that very clear. I&#8217;m not going to take no fights that don&#8217;t elevate me because I bring a certain something to the sport. Besides that immense violence that I bring, I&#8217;ve never missed weight, I&#8217;ve never had to withdraw the week of the fight. I&#8217;m a solid bet. When I come to fight, I have numerous awards, the Fight of the Night and what not. I&#8217;ve separated myself from the pack. So, it&#8217;s time that my paycheck reflects that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Masvidal believes he&#8217;s earned a significant pay boost by simply becoming a fighter that fans will unfailingly tune in to watch.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I think it&#8217;s just mainly this sheer violence, back-to-back. You saw my last fight [with Darren Till], people want to see that, but they also want to see can I do better,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;I come out and do this, so now it leaves a big question mark in your head thinking &#8216;Man, can he outdo his last fight? Because he just broke the record, what&#8217;s this crazy mother-fucker going to do the next time?&#8217;. I&#8217;m baptizing people and people like to see that shit. And people are finding out and telling other people &#8216;Hey if you want to see violence at its finest with some science behind it, tune in to this motherfucker, bro, he&#8217;s pretty wild.'&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I know where I should be at and I&#8217;m confident we&#8217;re going to get those numbers man.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At this stage, the only fighters ranked ahead of Jorge Masvidal at welterweight are Rafael dos Anjos, Colby Covington, Tyron Woodley, and the champion Kamaru Usman. Masvidal wouldn&#8217;t divulge who he believes he&#8217;ll fight next, but acknowledged that it could be a title fight with Usman or another big fight in the division.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Could be, very well could be,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Could be something else very big as well. I won&#8217;t get into too much detail because I can&#8217;t, but it&#8217;ll be something sweet. Mans will be happy, they&#8217;ll definitely be tuning in.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Needless to say it sounds like Jorge Masvidal is working on something for his next fight. And while the details of that next fight remain a mystery to those outside his inner circle, he assures we&#8217;ll all know soon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I give info on that?&#8221; Masvidal asked his manager as his appearance on BJPenn.com Radio wrapped up. &#8220;Less than 30 days.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Masvidal simply plans on getting back in the gym and sharpening up his weapons.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m just going to be at the gym training because I fucking miss it already man,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Some techniques I want to sharpen up, shit. I just like to send my love to my craft. I&#8217;m in there a lot. I don&#8217;t got no injuries right now, so why wouldn&#8217;t I be at the gym just training?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Who do you want to see Jorge Masvidal fight next?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 7\/9\/2019. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After his record-breaking, five-second knockout of Ben Askren, surging UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal is on the hunt for big fights and big paydays.
