Jorge Masvidal might be competing for the ‘bad motherf—ker’ title at UFC 244 but don’t expect him to manufacture a rivalry with Nate Diaz just for the sake of selling some tickets or pay-per-view.
The veteran welterweight contender has no problem engaging in a war of words — or in some cases even fisticuffs — with opponents who try to get under his skin.
Ben Askren found that out the hard way earlier this year when Masvidal promised he would silence the former Bellator champion and what resulted as the fastest knockout in UFC history after a flying knee ended the fight just five seconds into the opening round.
