Masvidal realizes that no one has pushed the needle this much in MMA in quite some time and the two fighters can certainly talk and back it up.
The discussion has now turned to what weight-class would Masvidal fight McGregor at if the fight does indeed go ahead. Masvidal is currently ranked #3 in the welterweight rankings with an expected title shot on the horizon, he has fought at lightweight where McGregor previously held the title there.
McGregor made weight at 170 pounds for his two Nate Diaz bouts, it’s clearly not his best performing weight-class but in terms of the UFC setting up a possible third UFC title shot in a different weight-class it could transpire for the Mystic Mac and Cuban Jesus.
