Jorge Masvidal gick senast match slutet av 2017, då han förlorade via ett domslut mot Stephen Thompson. Nu känner han sig redo att komma tillbaka och hoppas på att gå match under samma gala som Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson under UFC 232. Tidigare ville han ersätta Dustin Poirier under UFC 230, som var tänkt att möta Nate Diaz.
Det här berättade Masvidal via BJPenn Radio:
I’m trying to get on the Jon Jones card. December 29th, just date wise, it’ll be a good [amount of] time for me to get in the gym, sweat it out, get a bunch of adrenaline, get my timing back. I really haven’t done any training on MMA whatsoever.
I don’t know if I still got my jab. Is my jab still the fastest jab in MMA? I gotta go refresh that. I gotta hit the refresh button. While I do that I would want some time. December 29th would be perfect. So then I can get in there and just mark up whoever they put in front of me. Just destroy somebody utterly.
Masvidal gick senast matcher i wletervikt, men är nu beredd på att gå tillbaka till lättvikt där han påbörjade sin karriär.
I’m super open to fighting at ’70. It’s more chances that I’m gonna fight at ’70. It’s like a 70 percent chance that I’m gonna fight at ’70, but the window for ’55 has never been so big for me to go back down.
’70 is my home, and I only want a fight at ’55 that makes sense. The top-10 dudes or something like that. Somebody close to it. I just don’t wanna drop down and fight somebody that just won The Ultimate Fighter show or some shit like that.
I wanna get a true test of what the ’55 [division] brings and if I could pass that test with flying colors I’d drop down again and fight the next biggest name I could get my hands on.
Masvidal nämner också Paul Felder som en motståndare han vill möta:
I didn’t really get too many names and stuff that are available. I think ’55 and ’70 are kind of locked up. A lot of stagnant movement. And Paul Felder is a scrap, if that’s the biggest name we could get.
Vem ni se Masvidal möta när han kommer tillbaka?
