A mega-fight between Conor McGregor and Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal would be massive, which is why both the men are hinting of a potential showdown between them in 2020. Conor McGregor faced a humiliating loss against lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 and the UFC giant has been out of the sport ever since.

On the other hand, Jorge Masvidal had a glittery year with three knockout victories against Darren Till, Ben Askren and Nate Diaz within the past eight months. The BMF of UFC is undoubtedly one of the biggest superstars in the roster at this moment and he has no problem in going up against the former double champ, Conor McGregor.
