One of the UFC's biggest stars wants to fight Conor McGregor before 'this guy overdoses on cocaine'
  • Jorge Masvidal is trash-talking Conor McGregor.
  • The UFC star said he wants to fight McGregor before his famous rival "overdoses on cocaine."

One of the UFC's biggest stars Jorge Masvidal wants to fight Conor McGregor before "this guy overdoses on cocaine."

If such a bout were to be made by the market-leading MMA promotion, it would likely become one of the best-selling combat sports events of the year because of the name recognition each athlete brings to the Octagon.

Masvidal is the famed "Baddest Mother Fucker" in the game after beating Nate Diaz in a gimmick 2019 title fight.

McGregor, meanwhile, remains one of the marquee fighters after becoming a two-weight UFC champion, losing to Floyd Mayweather in a boxing rules contest in 2017, and for his controversial antics out of the sport.

In the last few years alone he was arrested while on vacation in Corsica on suspicion of indecent exposure, confronted Machine Gun Kelly on the red carpet of the VMAs, and allegedly attacked Italian DJ Francesco Facchinetti.

Masvidal hinted at that spiraling of behavior as he said he wants to lure McGregor into the Octagon for a fight while such a match-up can be argued as relevant in the MMA landscape.

"Obviously, before this guy overdoses on cocaine and then the fight never happens and I don't get to make all that easy money, I just want to break Conor's face," Masvidal told Blockasset.

"Let's get that paycheck, let's get that out of the way, selling the most pay-per-views ever before this guy does harm to himself or somebody else.

"I just, like, boom, get that check real quick because I got kids, right? I need the fucking money."

Masvidal, like McGregor, is no stranger to controversy as he was charged recently with aggravated battery with great bodily harm and criminal mischief following an alleged attack on former friend-turned-UFC rival Colby Covington.

The Floridian fighter would be happy to put his BMF title on the line for a fight with McGregor, providing the Irishman put up some money, too.

"You a bad mother fucker, you got money," Masvidal started. "Let's put some money, let's get a little escrow going. I put a couple million aside, you put a couple million aside, and it comes with the belt as a cherry on top.

"That's what a bad mother fucker would do is get this money. It's there, but it has to be right under my stipulations."
