Jorge Masvidal Responds to Max Holloway’s Critique of BMF Title
Jorge Masvidal, the inaugural BMF champion, reacted strongly to recent comments made by Max Holloway regarding the BMF title. Holloway, who currently holds the title, described it as a ‘laughing stock’ before he secured the belt. These remarks seemed aimed at previous titleholders, including Masvidal and Justin Gaethje, both of whom were champions before Holloway’s victory at UFC 300.
Masvidal Responds to Hollway’s Critique of the BMF Title
During an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, Masvidal addressed Holloway’s criticism directly. He expressed admiration for Holloway’s skills but disagreed with his characterization of the BMF title. Masvidal stated, “I think he’s one of the best to ever do it. He’s a dog when he goes in there.” However, he emphasized that any matchup with Holloway would not represent the fighter’s best night.
Comments on the Fight Style
Masvidal outlined that he would welcome a fight with Holloway due to their contrasting styles. “I just think I’m better,” he asserted. Masvidal was taken aback by Holloway’s use of the term ‘laughing stock’ and reflected on his sentiments about earning the BMF title first.
On Finding Humor in the Situation
- Masvidal acknowledged that while he felt slightly offended, he respects Holloway’s achievements.
- He noted that Holloway has enjoyed both the BMF and other championship belts, which adds a layer of irony to Holloway’s remarks.
Holloway is slated to defend his BMF title against Charles Oliveira at UFC 326 later this year. Meanwhile, Masvidal has hinted at a potential bout in the future, fueling speculation about a fight with Conor McGregor possibly taking place at the White House.
