UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal has some issues with UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping and the UFC in general.
While talking to FOX Sports, Masvidal discussed his disdain for Bisping and him not willing to fight top contender Yoel Romero.
“Dana White and the White Fighting Championships and white boys only fighting white boys is weird to me. Why aren’t you fighting Yoel, man? Is it because he’s Cuban or because he’s black? What is it that he can’t get that shot?
“Because he’s 7-0. Beating the best guys in the world, impressively, knocked them out. Why can’t he get the title shot? Then he’s saying he doesn’t want to fight Yoel, he wants to fight [Robert] Whittaker. To me that’s just a [expletive].”
Masvidal is not a fan of the new trend among champions in the UFC who only want to fight in the fights that will produce the most amount of money. Masvidal believes that champions should always fight the top contenders.
“I got into this sport to fight the world’s best and if you’re the champ and you’re not fighting the world’s best, what the [expletive] is wrong with you? You’re in the wrong sport. Go do movies, go do that other [expletive] that this sport is starting to incline towards. But if you ain’t about fighting, don’t say you’re a fighter. You’re not.
“Dan Henderson beat his ass. That dude ran from that man. Ran from that dude. That dude is not a [expletive] fighter.”
Masvidal is scheduled to fight Demain Maia this Saturday at UFC 211 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
