Jorge Masvidal says he will fight again and would be open to facing Nick Diaz next time out.<\/p>\n

At UFC 261, Masvidal suffered a KO loss to Kamaru Usman for the welterweight title<\/a>. It served as their rematch from last July where Usman won a decision. Although the result was disappointing for “Gamebred” he says he still has the fire to compete in him.<\/p>\n

Due to the KO loss, Masvidal is under suspension and says he won’t be calling anyone out for his return fight<\/a>. However, one name that does have his interest is Nick Diaz, who is supposedly set to return to the Octagon this year. They were also linked to a fight at UFC 235, and Masvidal knows the storyline is there given he beat Nate Diaz back at UFC 244.<\/p>\n

“Definitely, Nick is a stud. If Nick wants to throw down I’m more than willing to throw down. Like I said, I’m going to do it on my time, I’m not taking short notice fights, no matter who it is,” Masvidal said to ESPN on Monday<\/a>. “I’m not going to do that right now. But, if Nick does want to fight towards the end of this year, what can I say, I’m here. You want to do right for your little brother?<\/p>\n

“Let’s go. I heard a lot of interviews that he wasn’t too keen on what I did to his little brother. Neither would I,” Masvidal continued. “I feel for Nick in that situation. I know what I’d wanna do if somebody did that to my little brother. So, let’s go.”<\/p>\n

If Nick Diaz is coming back, a fight with Jorge Masvidal makes a ton of sense. The UFC can market it as the older brother getting one back for his younger brother, while for Masvidal, it would be a good bounceback scrap. It could be a five-round co-main on a pay-per-view sometime this fall or winter.<\/p>\n

Yet, as of right now, it’s uncertain that Diaz will even return, but Masvidal is more than willing to be his dance partner.<\/p>\n
