A name that has popped up to Masvidal as a potential next opponent is Conor McGregor, but Masvidal rubbished the idea of a fight against him in the UFC 244 post-fight press conference, calling the Irishman a “midget” and warning him not to take that fight.
He would, of course, be open to it as it would mean the “most zeroes” in his paycheque - something that Masvidal has been open about. He trains at American Top Team, run by Dan Lambert, who was recently interviewed by BJPenn.com. The ATT Owner said that if it were up to him, a fight against Conor McGregor would be next as it’s the biggest payday - but he certainly doesn’t expect it:
Lambert said it’s ironic that the biggest money fights for Masvidal don’t involve the Welterweight Championship:
He revealed that the only other person in the conversation for “Fighter of the year” is Israel Adesanya but said that he would give the edge to Gamebred. A fight against Conor McGregor would be a well-deserved payday for Masvidal but it seems like an unrealistic fight as of this writing.
