A mega-fight between Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal (BMF) would be massive. Both of them are great strikers and share a similar game plan. However, Masvidal believes that Conor McGregor will not take up the fight. During his interview on Ariel Helwani’s MMA show, the BMF said, “All I know is that he (Conor McGregor) doesn’t want the fight. We are moving on. He sealed Usman’s fate now. This guy (Conor McGregor) doesn’t want to f***ing fight, man.”

However, if the fight ever takes place, Jorge Masvidal is confident about defeating the former two-division champion. He clarified it by stating, “If that contract gets in front of my face and the numbers add up to what I’m asking for, yeah. Then Conor is getting baptised on TV, man. Easy math. Simple.”
