On why Masvidal fight is taking so long:

“Last time I talked to him(hunter) and Dana. They told me they gotta get Jorge on board, they said its going to be a tough task because he doesnt want to fight you. They pretty much told me plain and simple that Jorge doesnt like the style match up.

He’s asking for astronomical money that hes never going to get and not even worth. He still thinks he’s gonna to get this Conor payday. Hes a complete joke, hes not here to make this division great again, hes not really here to fight the best, just here to get some paychecks.”


More cliffs:
- Colby goes on to mention that last time he talked to UFC about Jorge fight was 2 months ago. Hes fully on board but Jorge says he doesnt want the fight.
- Colby says if Jorge doesnt want fight then he wants a title shot against Usman.
- Is fully open to coach against Masvidal on TUF says it would be an amazing season and he has a lot of dirt on Jorges private life.
- Says if Jorge fights Stephen Thompson instead of him then Fans will know that Jorge ducked the Fight.
- Colby ideally wants to fight 3-4 times next year and beat Jorge early 2021 and in Summer challenge for belt. He says hes already ready to go, that he took no damage in Woodley fight. He expects 2021 to be a big year for him


PS I know they posted vid on some other thread but this one actually has a proper summary

As much as I dislike Colby he’d make Mas look pretty average if they fought. It’d look like Mas vs Usman but with less foot destruction.

Colby would beat him better than Usman did who just wall n stalled every round. I like Jorge but he doesn’t have an answer for Colbys wrestling and pace. Colby is still getting better too, think hes gonna improve alot in mmamasters where he can get more direct attention than a mega gym like ATT. Him being kicked out may be the best thing that happened to him lol
 
It would be retarded for Masvidal to risk other big paydays to fight Colby and likely lose all his hype and momentum.


He should defend the BMF belt or take some other fan friendly fight for a big payday.

Actually.....now that I think about it.....
Jorge Masvidal vs Stephen Thompson is perfect!

Masvidal is known to want that fight again, he has said so in interviews, I remember watching them.
Thompson has CLEARLY stated he wants that fight after his win a few days ago.

OK ...my prediction now (having thought a bit) is the UFC are going to make Masvidal vs Thompson as a Main Event on a card probably around March or April. Gives Wonderboy a month or 6weeks off before he starts a fight camp again.

That fight is perfect : both want it, Masvidal only fought once in 2020 (3 times in 2019) and Thompson KNOWS that Masvidal is a bit of a star right now and for Thompson, if he beats Masvidal (again..) he can legit ask for a title-shot I think.
If Masvidal and UFC can agree money (he seems to price his fights very high these days) then I can totally see this fight happening in the ext few months.

Plus UFC know that Masvidal and Thompson is 90% likely to be a stand-up fight. They like that. It's unlikely to hit the mat for long at all (if it does at all). Main Event for sure, that totally works.
 
I think Masvidal has lost most of his fans after his recent loss. He'll need to maybe slap a Leon Edwards type to get some attention again. He is a good fighter but got some favorable matchups and now is probably going to think he's worth more than he is. I dont see the UFC really being super interested in booking him at the moment unless something big pops up. If he fights Colby, he probably loses and get humiliated in the process. I'm sure thats the last fight he wants.
 
Us fans getting screwed out of this fight and I'm a fan of both. Masvidal is the man and all, but just weird to me he hasn't fought Edwards or Colby yet. I mean I get it, he took the Usman fight so IDK maybe he's holding out for something better. A lot of fans thought he was avoiding Usman, but in reality he got Usman and the big pay day.

I just really hope it's not true that he didn't want to fight Colby due to the style match up. That's not the Gamebred we know and love
 
Mas is obviously a duck and don't want the Colby fight. But I don't want that fight either, that's a boring fight, and I hardly see any standing exchanges..
Colby beats Mas 50-45 unanimous, but Colby is a goddamn clown. "I have a lot of dirt on his private life" . Yeah I'm sure Mas wants to do TUF now..

Been there, seen it. New matchup please
 
Colby might be right on some things, but on the other side he was caught lying like 20 times in the press alone and nobody believes a word he says.

Well this is what happens when u move your promotion away from.sport....

The UFC is to blame for this...they reward jorge with BMF title...nows hes elevated his stock with it and wants more money..this is why you dont go make up belts...and why UFC needs to stop controling ranks based on popularity and letting the talent choose who they fight...


This is ridiculous...

There close in rank...Dana make the fight or cull the fat


You couldnt do this in a regular job just pick.and choose what work you do...u have to do what makes sense and expected and him fighting colby matches both

Depends on Wonderboys knee. He may not be ready to fight.

Masvidal has kind of painted himself into a corner. He got beaten soundly by Usman and knows that he'd get beaten by Colby. He's already lost to Wonderboy (who looked fantastic in his fight this weekend) and would likely lose again.

You can't represent yourself as a perennial title contender if you don't want to fight the guys that are hunting the title.
