The UFC not too long ago announced a huge batch of fights for the upcoming Combat Island playing cards in Abu Dhabi, and when UFC 251 is on the lookout hella fireplace from our level of view it is difficult not to feel a bit sad about the absence of Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal was meant to face welterweight winner Kamaru Usman prior to a dispute more than pay tanked the probable struggle. Next his large cash general performance versus Nate Diaz at UFC 244, “Street Jesus” was unwilling to take a lot less spend to battle Usman.
Good adequate, but the UFC waits for no a single male. The welterweight title shot went to the eager AF Gilbert Burns, and Jorge Masvidal is caught on the sidelines tweeting angrily about UFC pay out. Soon after it was ‘revealed’ that Masvidal turned down a previous ditch offer to struggle Usman for the identical funds he made off UFC 244, “Street Jesus” clapped back again.
I now explained why I signed a new deal. It’s possibly consider it or depart it and not get paid out. I would’ve signed one more deal if it was carried out in good faith. He called me evening prior to he wishes to announce and tell me choose or it go away it. That’s not negotiating which is robust arming

White proceeds to placement the new flood of fighters retiring as ‘guys not wanting to combat.’
“Masvidal is really substantially like the Diaz brothers,” he said major up to UFC on ESPN 10. “He beats to the audio of his individual drum, when he wants to do something he does it.”
Unquestionably not a promising comparison, considering the Diaz brothers priced by themselves out of typical UFC competitors. Could we see a very similar situation in which Masvidal will get ‘vanished’ from the rotation for a long time? White undoubtedly did not audio proactive about doing work points out.
“Listen, I’m putting on fights each individual weekend for the subsequent … ten several years,” he mentioned. “And if you want a battle, phone us. We’ll offer you fights and if you really don’t want to just take ‘em, you never have to.”
Sounds an terrible whole lot like ‘Take it or go away it.’
