Former UFC champion Conor McGregor has made headlines with his recent statement in a press conference in Moscow in which he announced that he will face the winner of the BMF belt first as well as the winner of Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Tony Ferguson fight after that for his much-awaited UFC return. Well, UFC 244 is over and Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal is officially the BMF in UFC. It is believed that McGregor must face Masvidal in his January 18 UFC return but nothing has been finalised yet. After Masvidal’s recent victory against Nate Diaz at UFC 244, McGregor showed his urge to fight the BMF through Twitter but Masvidal fired back at him for not signing an official contract yet.

UFC: Jorge Masvidal fires back at Conor McGregor

Jorge Masvidal has expressed his urge to fight Conor McGregor in the past but unfortunately, the fight never happened. Looking at the current scenario, Conor McGregor vs Jorge Masvidal looks absolutely legitimate but the BMF feels that McGregor is too scared to sign the contract. According to Masvidal, McGregor is a salty a** dude and that’s how he gets salt by asking for salt and vinegar at the drive because Masvidal himself has never asked for those two things. Masvidal also suggested McGregor for calling UFC President Dana White and throw some numbers at their way.

Masvidal has slammed McGregor in the past too. After so much social media and public appearance beefing, Dana White should surely arrange the fight but only if McGregor agrees to it. The Irish fighter has yet not replied to Masvidal regarding their match-up and nothing can be said until the 'Mr Notorious' decides to respond.

UFC: Jorge Masvidal vs Conor McGregor- Weight class?

Conor McGregor is expected to make his return on January 18. However, the question remains of the weight category that he will fight in. Masvidal is a natural welterweight while McGregor fought his last bout in the lightweight category against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. So, will McGregor fight Masvidal in welterweight and then return to lightweight for facing the winner of Khabib vs Tony?. Nothing can be finally stated until the Irishman signs the contract and gives a steady disclaimer about his return.
