UFC: Jorge Masvidal says he ‘feels bad’ for Dana White after president compares him to Nate and Nick Diaz
- ‘Gamebred’ reveals White sent a last-ditch offer to fight welterweight champion Kamaru Usman
- Masvidal says White is ‘just a promoter’ and accuses him of ‘strong-arming’ not ‘negotiating’ for Usman match-up
Last year’s UFC fighter of the year Jorge Masvidal has once again hit out at the promotion after president Dana White said the Cuban-American is “very much like the Diaz brothers” in that “he beats to the sound of his own drum”.
“People who wanna fight get fights, and people who don’t don’t. [Burns is] the number one guy in the world, number one vs champion. And this kid wants to stay busy. These kids that come out and go on runs like Burns is on and stay active and healthy, it’s the smartest thing you could do,” he said.
“Masvidal is very much like the Diaz brothers [Nate and Nick]. He beats to the sound of his own drum. When he wants to do something he does it. It’s not very surprising at all ... if you wanna fight, call us. We’ll offer you fights and if you don’t wanna take them, you don’t have to. It’s always been that way.”
