Jorge Masvidal Is Frustrated By Not Getting a Fight

June 15, 2018 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Jorge Masvidal spoke with MMAjunkie about the layoff since his last fight, a possible fight with Kamaru Usman and more. Highlights are below:

On not having a fight since November: “It’s (expletive) frustrating…But whatever. I’m still here, and I’m going to get in shape.”

On not being able to find anyone willing to fight him: “I’m going to get somebody at some point or another, whether it be a top-10 guy or not. Somebody’s face is going to get dismantled.”

On his claim that Kamaru Usman turned down a fight with him: “That dude thinks he deserves a title shot beating Maia on two weeks’ notice. Awesome for you if that’s how you think…It’s funny because Usman was calling me out saying I had ducked him. Basically, that’s calling me a coward. Now that I’m saying let’s fight, he doesn’t want to fight. I saw him at Colby’s fight – I thought he had two broken (hands). That guy has to be better than Wolverine because he didn’t have any cast on. So that dude is Super Marvel X. I don’t know what the (expletive) he’s made out of. You broke two hands, and you don’t have no cast on? Wow, bro. That’s super powers, for real.”

On Usman’s win over Demian Maia at UFC Fight Night 129: “It was (expletive) a snooze-fest. And I get it – Maia wasn’t in shape. Put this guy out of his misery. You’ve been training for a fight how long? Get this guy out of there, or at least try to. Just staring at him – this is the fight game. This is what it’s becoming. A bunch of loudmouth (expletive).”
