Jorge Masvidal’s last two performances in the Octagon have been losing efforts to UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. The first of those happened on short notice for UFC 251 last year and resulted in a unanimous decision defeat. The second happened in April, at UFC 261, and ended with a thunderous KO from ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’.
Masvidal recently spoke to MMA Junkie about what’s next for him. He told that outlet that he is only interested in getting back into title contention at 170 lbs.
“The guy that gets me the closest and the fastest to the title bout (is who I want to fight next),” he said.
