UFC: Jorge Masvidal wants to break George St-Pierre’s face

After defeating Nate Diaz for the BMF belt, Jorge Masvidal has attracted a lot of names for his upcoming fight. He went onto have a verbal beef with Conor McGregor. He also challenged Canelo Alvarez and Floyd Mayweather for a fight but his recent opinion about Georges St-Pierre has brought a new wave in the welterweight division.

In a recent interview with Submission Radio, Jorge Masvidal was asked about facing Georges St-Pierre and the BMF titleholder said: “In all honesty, as a competitor, I want to fucking break his (GSP) face. I want to go out there and give him (GSP) everything I got. But I respect the time, what he’s done. I would put everything into my being, into my soul, to end this individual, because he (GSP) is that good”
