He’s been open about the fact that his next fight needs to be the one with the “most zeroes” on his paycheque and two names who could give him what he wants are Conor McGregor and Nick Diaz. McGregor’s situation, however, all depends on his upcoming fight against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone.
However, one of the biggest surprises for many fans is the fact that Masvidal showed less interest in a title fight despite being the rightful, next-in-line contender for Kamaru Usman and the Welterweight Championship. Jorge Masvidal’s manager spoke to BJPenn.com and confirmed that Masvidal’s plans in 2020 include winning the Welterweight strap.
He doesn’t believe that winning the title equates to being the best in the world. Rather, it’s a means to get paid more. However, after winning the championship is when one has to prove why they’re the best.
He went on to state that it’s this very reason why he considers Jon Jones the greatest of all time and Demetrious Johnson right behind him. He concluded by saying.
Masvidal fighting Kamaru Usman in 2020 is undoubtedly an interesting prospect. Who would walk out victorious in that bout?
