UFC: Jorge Masvidal warns Conor McGregor ‘don’t flirt with me’, and punks ‘owl’ Kamaru Usman
- ‘You want it or you don’t, leave me alone if you don’t,’ Masvidal tells Mcgregor’
- ‘I decide when Usman will fight, who he’ll fight … he might have the belt but I’m calling the shots’
Jorge Masvidal was many people’s pick for 2019 fighter of the year, after three spectacular stoppages, and the landscape for 2020 looks just as exciting for him with plenty of options.
There’s a title fight with Kamaru Usman on the table, and a big-money bout with Conor McGregor a strong possibility, with the Irishman returning next weekend to the UFC Octagon at 170 pounds.
“If it’s my doing, up to me, everybody’s getting it, especially that owl dude. I’m going owl hunting,” Masvidal told Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, where he won the male fighter of the year award.
“I want some owl soup,” Masvidal added. “This dude was a little disrespectful with that ‘who?’ s***. You know who, man, and if you don’t, when we get in that ring you’ll find out who I am brother. I would love to introduce myself to you in a prizefighting ring.
“It took me 16 years to get here, I had to go and get famous before I got a world title. That’s how good I am. The UFC was scared of me. I’m about to prove some s*** in 2020, and hopefully it’s gonna be on that owl’s head. You know who I’m talking about.”
