Nate Diaz may well have proved the extent of his newfound understanding of the fight-business with his callout of Jorge Masvidal at UFC 241. Taking to the mic directly after beating Anthony Pettis over three-rounds, he made the callout that would perhaps ignite fan interest more than any matchup out there with the exception of a trilogy bout with Conor …

Nate Diaz took to the microphone after his impressive UFC 241 victory over Anthony Pettis to call out his fellow welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal. If ring-rust is real, no-one told Diaz that ahead of his first UFC outing in three years last night. Although he started slow, in his own patented fashion he gradually began to pick up the pace …

Jorge Masvidal has extended an invitation to Nate Diaz, challenging him to go to war inside the octagon once he settles his beef with Anthony Pettis tonight. Masvidal is well and truly on top of the world. Fresh off of his stunning five-second knockout of Ben Askren at UFC 239, Gamebred has been linked to fights with everyone from Conor …

UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal has given us an update on the current standing of his ongoing negotiations with the UFC. Upon being asked by a member of the press about the promotion’s business relationship with Masvidal, UFC president Dana White was characteristically blunt in his response, playing down rumours linking Jorge to a showdown with the superstar Conor McGregor. …

UFC president Dana White told the press recently that he is about to make an offer to the in-form 170lb contender Jorge Masvidal after his five-second KO of Ben Askren at UFC 239. The question now, is who exactly Dana is about to offer. Speaking to the media after this week’s edition of Dana White’s Contender Series, he explained how Masvidal …

Ben Askren spoke to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani about his UFC 239 defeat at the hands of Jorge Masvidal and how it compares to his shortcomings in the past. If another knockout comes along in 2019 that can keep Masvidal’s five-second flying-knee from winning the Knockout Of The Year award, this writer will eat his hat. It truly was one of those outlier …

Colby Covington has take a shot at the Kawa brothers, claiming that they are trying to turn his friend Jorge Masvidal against him.  The pair have a long history and as far as people Colby can point to as allies, Masvidal stands as perhaps the most high-profile of the few, given the rather vocal top-contender’s penchant for pushing the buttons …

Colby Covington has offered up a rather blunt assessment of his friend Jorge Masvidal’s argument for a title-shot against divisional champ, Kamaru Usman. It does seem as though there’s a bit of trouble in paradise between the two friends, a consequence of their shared pursuit of the welterweight title no doubt. With Colby now set to take on the former …

Jorge Masvidal has surprised quite a few people after coming through with a lengthy message of respect and admiration for the superstar Conor McGregor. The idea of a matchup between the powerful welterweight and the former two-weight world champion has been steadily gaining momentum ever since Jorge was able to earn himself a spot in the UFC record books with …

Chael Sonnen might just have figured out exactly why UFC president Dana White was quick to shut down talk of a matchup between Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor. White managed to catch quite a few headlines when he told TMZ that he had no interest in setting up a fight between these two men – citing the size difference between them as …

Kevin Lee spoke during a recent interview with Submission Radio about his hopes to secure a showdown with Ben Askren in the future.  Lee’s start to life in the welterweight division didn’t exactly get off the smoothest of starts as he found himself on the losing side upon facing Rafael dos Anjos in his debut. Speaking during a recent appearance …

In the wake of UFC 239, Jorge Masvidal has all of a sudden become something of an outside shout to welcome the former champion Conor McGregor back to the octagon later this year. These days, there is something of a special x-factor needed to draw the increasingly reclusive former two-weight world champion into signing on the dotted line and in …

Dana White has seemingly put any chances of us seeing a welterweight clash between Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor to bed in a recent interview with TMZ.  And while the UFC president has been known to go back on his word, a matchup between his biggest cash-cow and the powerful welterweight contender would likely represent quite a bit of risk …

Gunnar Nelson has recently spoken about the possibility of a showdown with the former Bellator and ONE Championship welterweight king Ben Askren. Nelson’s last outing saw him turn in a pretty underwhelming effort against streaking contender Leon Edwards in a fight that saw his lack of versatility and aggression prove to be the difference at UFC London. Now, with a …

Joe Rogan gave his thoughts on a potential welterweight matchup between the former lightweight champion Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal has certainly taken to his time in the welterweight division with a level of finesse and consistency that was perhaps lacking during his time as a lightweight. Knocking out the formerly-unbeaten Ben Askren with the fastest KO in the …

Jorge Masvidal had a very interesting response to those who criticised him for his follow-up shots and subsequent taunting of his opponent Ben Askren. Masvidal, who is now the owner of the fastest KO in UFC history, vaulted towards Funky as soon as the opening bell rang, his knee colliding directly with the dome of the famed wrestler, ending his …
