I don't get the call out vs. Masvidal

[KantoTerror]

Why not call out the guy who beat you? Like Anthony Pettis? He's going to out point Masvidal again. I'd still watch but...

 

[TheMessiah]

Because everyone else is booked and Masvidal is ranked as a top 5 guy

 

[Frank McEdgar]

Because Masvidal is easily in the top 5 most popular and marketable fighters in the UFC at the moment. Beating him now is much more valuable than when WB did it before.

It is all about the money

 

[Bubzeh]

Popularity / hype / money. But I do think it's stupid...

Right here he exactly mentioned why...

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Only Tony Ferguson would turn down Holloway, Masdival, or any other top finger that would get them closer to a title to fight Anthony Pettis.

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

You gotta do what you gotta do in this game.

 

[WalkenWouldOwn]

It's an easy win that gets him back into title talks immediately. Whether or not it SHOULD is another question.

Would prefer a fresh matchup personally.

I get it from Wonderboy, but there isn't a reason for Masvidal to ever take this fight again. If Usman stalled his hype, Wonderboy would absolutely kill it. Getting pinned to the cage for 5 rounds < Being outclassed for 3.

Nailed it.

Beating Masvidal won't get him closer to a title fight as he is right now though...He beat him soundly already so He's already in the mix. He was just inactive.

Actually didn't see this. Thank you.

 

[theTKDguy]

it's a favorable matchup, against a guy who's got hype behind him and wb has already beat. not that hard to understand

He doesn’t want that smoke with Showtime

He beat Masdival before Masdival became a top 5 fighter. Beating him again as a top 5 fighter would definitely raise his stock.

I don't think Masvidal wants anything to do with that fight. I don't see it going any different and Mas is looking for money fights right now.

Pettis win won't help any.
Colby turned him down. So.... Plus jorge is the striker slick enough to make it interesting.
