In his recent interview with ESPN, Masvidal revealed the reason that he felt UFC and Dana White were not allowing a fight between him and Conor McGregor to take place.
Dana White on Jorge Masvidal fighting Conor McGregor
Masvidal has been vocal about wanting to fight Conor McGregor for some time now. Conor McGregor has also been open to the idea of such a fight taking place, but it was made clear that UFC did not want the fight to happen.
When Dana White talked about it previously, he said that Masvidal was too big for Conor McGregor, a comment that McGregor did not take too kindly. However, despite that, the fight is no closer to taking place, with Masvidal lined up for a fight against Nate Diaz at UFC 244.
Jorge Masvidal says fight with Conor McGregor would lead to a murder charge
Jorge Masvidal said that the reason that UFC does not want a fight with Conor McGregor was that it would lead to a ‘murder charge’, indicating that he would kill McGregor if they ever entered the same Octagon.
McGregor is unlikely to take this well. Given his history, he might insist on a fight with Masvidal despite all of this. For now, Masvidal will be fighting Nate Diaz as the headliner of UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden.
