Floyd Mayweather created a whirlwind of excitement among combat sports fans with his recent announcement on a possible return. The undefeated boxer is planning for a massive cross-promotion event in 2020 and he is in negotiations with UFC President Dana White for the same reportedly. This is undoubtedly a massive opportunity for UFC superstars to get a huge payday and a lot of them have shown tremendous interest in facing Mayweather on his return. Jorge Masvidal, the official BMF of UFC, is also keen to face Mayweather and he has taken a poke at their possible matchup.

Jorge Masvidal touched new heights of popularity with three sensational knockout victories in 2019 and he wasted no time in getting into the mix as Floyd Mayweather’s next opponent.

Former bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw has also expressed his urge to fight Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather but the UFC veteran is suspended for the time being and Mayweather is yet to show his interest in fighting TJ. On the other hand, Jorge Masvidal is at the peak of his career on this point and Masvidal’s fighting style might attract Mayweather to face him. BMF Masvidal is a stand-up fighter who prefers the fight on his feet and Mayweather would surely prefer that since he has never fought someone on the ground in a professional bout.
