There’s recently been a tidal wave of buzz surrounding a potential scrap between former two-division UFC champ Conor McGregor and surging UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal. Both parties have expressed interest in fighting the other, and many fans are hoping the fight will happen in 2020.<\/p>\n

From the sounds of it, however, Masvidal isn’t sure McGregor actually wants the fight. But he would like a solid answer one way or the other. He discussed the matchup on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would want that fight because it\u2019s a big money fight,\u201d Masvidal said of facing McGregor (via MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cIt\u2019s a dude that\u2019s two-time division champion, he has some impressive records, and he comes to fight. So in that aspect, yes. We\u2019re gonna f*ckin\u2019 both sell out wherever we\u2019re f*cking fighting at, and there\u2019s gonna be violence. But if the dude doesn\u2019t want to fight, I\u2019m not a bully. Go do your thing. If he doesn\u2019t want this, I don\u2019t give a f*ck then. You don\u2019t want to fight, you don\u2019t want to fight, but don\u2019t flirt with me. You either want it, or you don\u2019t. Leave me the f*ck alone if you don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Masvidal doubts the sincerity of McGregor’s recent calls for a fight, he does find the idea of a fight with Irishman alluring. As he suggested above, the fight would be incredibly lucrative for all involved. So much so that he’d prefer it to a welterweight title shot agains Kamaru Usman.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll go get the money because the Conor fight is not [always] going to be there,” Masvidal said.<\/p>\n

Whoever Masvidal ends up fighting next, he guarantees that 2020 will be an even bigger year for him than 2019 was\u2014quite a claim considering he finished Darren Till, Ben Askren and Nate Diaz in that span.<\/p>\n

\u201c2019 was a good year, but that f*cking year is over,\u201d Masvidal said. \u201c2020 is gonna be better. 2019 was just a preview for what I\u2019m gonna do to people. If you want to see violence, tune the f*ck in.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think should be next for Jorge Masvidal?<\/p>\n
