Regardless of whether or not he winds up defending that belt this year, he&#8217;s almost certainly going to play a huge role in the UFC Welterweight Championship picture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Masvidal went into detail about another potentially huge option for him in 2020: a fight with Nick Diaz.<\/p>\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jorge Masvidal leaning towards fighting Kamaru Usman over Conor McGregor | Ariel Helwani&#039;s MMA Show\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TC1j4RpluGQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cOut of pure coincidence and luck, I just spoke with Nick Diaz\u2019s manager. And it was interesting with a lot of different insight because UFC is saying one thing and it\u2019s completely different from what we were hearing,\u201d said Masvidal (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2020\/1\/29\/21114275\/ufc-jorge-masvidal-talks-next-fight-good-conversation-with-nick-diaz-camp-mma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"MMA Mania (opens in a new tab)\">MMA Mania<\/a>).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cTo hear it now from Nick Diaz\u2019s manager, things make a lot more sense now. UFC was telling us all kinds of crazy things and, I\u2019m not willing to wait for no man. They were telling me this, and that and this&#8230;we got options,\u201d Masvidal added. \u201cWho is going to get me that nice chunk of change that someone like me that he has been fighting 16 years professional and busting ass?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIf it\u2019s up to me, I respect Nick, him and his brother, I got a lot of respect for Conor for what he\u2019s done inside the cage. But Usman, I don\u2019t like his ass one bit. I just want to f*** his ass up. He\u2019s just a punk, the same guy that five or six years ago was asking me to take pictures.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While Diaz may be an option, it also seems as if things are heating up regarding a fight between Masvidal and Kamaru Usman, as seen during their <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/kamaru-usman-reacts-to-jorge-masvidal-altercation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Super Bowl showdown (opens in a new tab)\">Super Bowl showdown<\/a> this week.<\/p>\r\n<p>What do you think should be next for Jorge Masvidal?\u00a0<\/p>\r\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 1\/30\/2020.<\/i><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jorge Masvidal has spoken out regarding an interesting chat that he had with Nick Diaz&#8217;s manager as he looks ahead to a huge year in 2020.
