McGregor will return to fight Masvidal.

Dana made a big deal a couple of times during the post-fight presser for UFC 240 about how "Masvidal is just too big for Conor." And he said something like, "I'm sure Conor and I will have some fights about this," and "Conor was not happy at all that I said Masvidal was too big for him." (Go to 7:14 in the video below.)

.

Ha ha, good one, BLAF. So you're just waiting for Jorge to agree to the dollar amount, right?

.

Oh, will you lookee here: Bestfightodds.com reports that Masvidal is an early -150 favorite to beat McGregor, who is a +130 underdog.

It's on.

Way to kill the Masvidal hype train. Can't see Jorge signing up for this. Retirement fund fight maybe.

Huh. Really? I think Masvidal smashes Mcgregor. Mcgregor isn't knocking him out and would need to pick him apart from outside. Not sure if he has the stamina to do that for 3 rounds let alone 5. 

Massive Mcgregor fan to be clear, so no shade being thrown. He still comes back to own the 145lbs division including Holloway.

Max beats him, not as easily as Jorge will but he still wins. Conor would look like skelator making 145 again. 155 and Conor takes it tho.

I think Max beats him at 145 and Masvidal at 170.

Hes actually 1-1 at Lightweight. He also has 0 title defenses. 

 

He did look good at 145, beating 3 top 10 guys. I just dont think his body was able to handle that cut so well. He walks at what? 170 or so

I can't even believe people are entertaining this. Masvidal owns anyone named McGregor. 

Conor taps to strikes against Masvidal. My prediction.

Prime Conor vs mas would of been an awesome fight .. new Conor .. I just don't see it .. I hope Conor never fights again if he isn't anywhere near his old self 

I would like this fight. The build up would be fun if the contract requires Misvidal to do media obligations.
