Dana White has been pretty clear he’s against a matchup between Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal.
The UFC boss feels “Gamebred” is simply too big for the Irishman. However, those very comments could be what makes the fight happen. Speaking at the UFC 240 post-fight press conference last night (Sat. July 27, 2019), White revealed the backlash he got from McGregor regarding his comments:
“Yeah, Masvidal is too big for him, man. I think Masvidal is too big; Conor disagrees. Conor was not happy that I said Masvidal was too big for him,” White said.
White was then asked exactly what McGregor texted him in regards to the UFC boss saying Masvidal is too big for him:
“That pisses me off that you say he’s too big for me."
“I’m telling you guys--I’ve said it a million times--and I’ll say it again, this guy will fight anybody,” White said. “And I don’t care if he’s pissed off about it or not, I think Masvidal is too big for Conor. So, if we ever get to that point, I’m sure it’s something that Conor and I will fight about.”
