When Daniel Cormier advised freshly minted UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards not to fight Jorge Masvidal, he probably didn’t expect the full weight of Masvidal’s Twitter rage to come down upon him. That’s if Masvidal even handles his own Twitter account, which Cormier seems to doubt.
“Bro, don’t fight him. Because for two years, when he was the man, he could not say your name. Now all of a sudden he’s like ‘if you become the champ,’ he wants to put and end to this thing? He should not fight Jorge Masvidal. He literally should just big league him and not even say his name. Because why would you do that when a guy snuck you backstage but then never fought you? Now all of a sudden, you’re the man and he wants to fight you.
Masvidal Takes Aim at “Has-Been” DC over Edwards Advice
I like Jorge Masvidal a lot. He’s a really good dude, but it’s like, come on, Jorge. We’ve got to do better than that.” Cormier has a point. Jorge Masvidal was the golden boy of the UFC welterweight division, with two highlight-reel knockouts in a row cementing his celebrity status. Since the Ben Askren flying knee, however, Masvidal has gone 0-3, losing to Kamaru Usman twice and Colby Covington once.
That doesn’t matter to “Gamebred”, who blasted DC on Twitter. “Guess you’re still butt hurt since I didn’t do the interview you requested on your weak YouTube channel during my fight week.
I know you needed my name to produce some sort of views since Ariel [Helwani] went solo and you became a has been.
Just make sure when Dana calls and you tells you to promote the biggest fight the current champ can make in the division which is me, wear your best suit from DXL and make sure you do as your [sic] told like a good boy. Maybe you’ll get a treat from your master #reasonpeoplewatchonmute #fakelifecoach #brokeadvice”
Masvidal’s best shot at Leon Edwards dates back to a UFC London event a few years back, which saw Masvidal and Edwards in an altercation the Miami-based fighter later dubbed “a three-piece and soda”. Daniell Cormier, unimpressed, replied to Masvidal – or Masvidal’s manager, Malki Kawa.
“Jorge you’ve always been the man, Malik stay off his page. I stand by what I said. You don’t get unlimited title fights Malki, beat Durinho get to 1-3 in last 4 and maybe get a title shot. See Malki now you got me disrespecting my friend Jorge”
Should Jorge Masvidal get a title shot after losing his last three fights? Let us know in the comments.
