Former UFC contender Jorge Masvidal is gearing up for a potential comeback, with rumors swirling about a high-profile bout against Conor McGregor at the UFC's White House event. Masvidal, known as 'Gamebred', remains tight-lipped about the speculation, but he's confirmed he's training for a significant fight.
In an interview with MMA Junkie Radio, Masvidal hinted at an upcoming announcement, stating, 'I have some big news coming soon. It's very big news.' He added, 'You never know, right? Give 'em what they want, not what they expect.'
Masvidal's political affiliations have also been in the spotlight, as he has endorsed Donald Trump's campaigns. He claims to be the President's favorite fighter, though the validity of this claim remains uncertain. The fighter expressed his eagerness to fight at the White House, emphasizing the unique nature of the event.
'I just want to fight at the White House,' Masvidal said. 'I've fought in many places, but this would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's not just about the fight; it's about representing my Latin community and showcasing my skills on the highest stage.'
Masvidal's enthusiasm for the White House fight is clear, and he's willing to take on any challenge, even if it means fighting on the prelims. He believes this event is special and worth the effort, regardless of the opponent.
'I've fought in many places, and I've had a lot of unexpected turns in my career,' he said. 'But this would be a unique and surreal experience. I wouldn't mind getting out there and doing my thing on the White House lawn.'
The timing of this potential fight aligns with Dana White's plans, as matchmaking is set to begin after UFC 324, which is scheduled for the following week. Masvidal's comments suggest that he's eagerly awaiting confirmation, and fans are left wondering if this dream match will become a reality.
