Masvidal has been open about the fact that it’s not the championship he cares about but the biggest paycheque, which is why he has been anticipating a fight against Nick Diaz lately. He also said that his next fight will be the one with the “most zeroes” on his cheque and even though he should ideally be next in line for a title shot after Kamaru Usman vs Colby Covington, he doesn’t seem to care that much.
When talking to Yahoo Sports (H/T credit MMA Fighting), he downplayed the styles of both Covington and Usman, stating that he was unimpressed with both. In the eyes of many fans, the controversial Covington had a very impressive victory over Robbie Lawler where he dominated the former Champion. However, Masvidal downplayed that, saying:
When asked as to whether Usman’s wrestling pressure and cardio impressed him, Masvidal simply responded “Not at all” and continued:
Many feel as though Masvidal has finally unlocked his potential and he’s making the most of the spotlight he has. 2020 is going to be an extremely interesting year for Masvidal and it seems that for the first time in his career, he can choose who he wants to fight. Nick Diaz and Conor McGregor are the two biggest names being brought up.
