Daniel Cormier concerns supply and need behind Jorge Masvidal’s return
Throughout a current video published to his YouTube channel, Cormier responded to Masvidal’s prepared UFC return.
“Look at the names on his resume. At the end of the day, when you take a look at the profession as an entire, it comes down to one year where Jorge Masvidal made you guys care,” Cormier stated of Masvidal. “And it made him a star. My concern to you now is: Do you still care? Since that’s what he’s banking on … lost his last 4 MMA battles, and lost a boxing match. He stated he’ll return, starch someone and the UFC would be asking him to eliminate for a champion …
“Do you care now? Like you performed in 2019? Like you did when he was on that remarkable run when he made himself from a guy that was a little bit of a journeyman, into a centerpiece destination … he and Kamaru Usman offered a ton of pay televisions … in 2019 he did something I’ve never ever seen somebody carry out in combating before … to me, if Jorge Masvidal returns, it needs to protest somebody that’s an enjoyable battle … I ‘d view him combat, definitely, however my concern is do you care? He’s 39 years of ages now. The very best days appear to be behind him, lost 4 in a row,” Cormier continued. “In my regard, I think with the work he was doing beyond the Octagon, his promo appears to be succeeding, and I enjoyed to see him leave.”
Masvidal’s last MMA win came versus Diaz for the inaugural BMF title at UFC 244. Ever since, he’s suffered losses to Kamaru Usman, Colby Covington, and Burns.
