Jorge Masvidal is assured he’d reclaim his BMF title if he fought Justin Gaethje.
Masvidal received the inaugural BMF title with a third-round physician’s stoppage TKO of Nate Diaz in November 2019. Masvidal by no means defended his belt, however the UFC determined to deliver the title again after he retired.
Gaethje (25-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) knocked out Masvidal’s teammate, Dustin Poirier, to assert the BMF title at UFC 291, and “Gamebred” is assured he’d damage Gaethje if he acquired the chance to battle him.
“After I received the belt, Dana stated it could be considered one of one, the belt is finished, and there could be no defending it,” Masvidal informed Lowkick MMA. “So there by no means was any speak about it, at the very least for me, however now I feel the temperature on that theme has modified. They’re doing issues slightly totally different, and Justin is superb.
“The man that he beat to get that belt is a f*cking stud, he’s a killer, Dustin Poirier. However should you put BMF in opposition to BMF, should you put me in opposition to Gaethje in there, I might break his f*cking eye orbital, and I might f*cking chop him up. Hopefully that may occur in some unspecified time in the future.”
Gaethje will defend his BMF title in opposition to former featherweight champion Max Holloway (25-7 MMA, 21-7 UFC) at UFC 300 on April 13 from T-Cellular Enviornment in Las Vegas. Masvidal is rooting for Holloway to win.
“I feel Max Holloway is among the baddest motherf*ckers that ever lived,” Masvidal stated. “That’s a dude that I f*cking salute. I like his type. I like his story. I like his beginnings. I like how humble of an individual he’s. I’m going clearly for Max all the way in which, however I feel it’s going to be a f*cking nice battle.”
