The three big names that he has on his plate are Conor McGregor, Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman, and potentially Nick Diaz. Masvidal stated that he wants to face McGregor before Usman but his manager revealed that winning the Welterweight Championship in 2020 remains a goal of his.
When asked about a potential match-up with multi-time UFC Champion Georges St-Pierre, Masvidal told Submission Radio (H/T TheBodyLockMMA):
Masvidal paid respects to the legend and acknowledged just how good St-Pierre is. He appeared to be excited about the prospect of fighting him.
It’s a dream fight but one that’s unlikely to happen. While St-Pierre remains retired as of this writing, there have been rumblings that he’s interested in fighting undefeated UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. He was even revealed to be walking around lighter than usual, perhaps as an experiment of a potential cut to 155.
Will we see St-Pierre return to the Octagon? Voice your thoughts in the comments below.
