Jorge Masvidal Is Ready to Fight Michael Bisping at Any Time

November 23, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Jorge Masvidal discussed his desire to fight Michael Bisping and more in a new interview with MMAjunkie. Highlights are below:

On if he’d be down to replace Kelvin Gastelum at UFC Fight Night 122 this weekend should Gastelum be injured: “Yeah, I would go up in a heartbeat. I didn’t want to be on a long flight, but when I heard Bisping was taking the fight, I said, ‘For sure take me to China just in case Gastelum does’t make over there.’ But I don’t like the dude, so I’ll fight him at any weight class, any weight – doesn’t matter.”

On Bisping: “Actually, just as I was heading over here, I saw him – f*cking what’s his face. But I can’t stand the dude. He started saying, ‘shame, shame, shame.’ And he’s with his wife or his kids, or some type of girls are with him. I don’t want to make a scene in front of them, but he’s just a coward. As long as (media events are) happening, he’s going to talk, and he’s going to do sh*t. But if it’s just me and him, and we go somewhere to talk, he’s not going to do that.”

On being willing to face Bisping at any time: “I already made it clear: I’ll fight that guy anywhere, bro. I’m not going to say I’d do it for free because then the UFC might not pay me, but I’d fight him anywhere. For him, it’s whatever, whenever. I dislike the guy genuinely.”
