Why Jorge Masvidal is writing off Conor McGregor
Dustin Poirier refused to write off Conor McGregor while talking about his bitter rival’s UFC 329 fight on the Deep Waters podcast.
Jorge Masvidal, who was also a part of the conversation, happily predicted that McGregor is going to lose badly when he returns to MMA.
“I think Max smokes him like a brisket,” the former BMF champion said.
‘Gamebred’ referenced Conor McGregor‘s life of luxury and excess while explaining his UFC 329 prediction.
“I think Conor lives a certain lifestyle we’ve all seen,” Masvidal added.
“You can kind of tell it’s not for show, and it’s really his lifestyle.
“Max lives a completely different lifestyle. I’ve never seen Max at the club drunk. You never see him in the headlines for anything bad. That guy lives a different life where he is in the gym, family, gym family.
“I think that’s gonna pay the biggest dividends. You can be away from the sport for five years and come back like nothing happened if you live that life.”
