Is Jorge Masvidal the real deal, or is he just looking for trouble with Nate Diaz's crew?

Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz are ready to clash once again and settle their differences. But this time, they won’t fight inside an Octagon, instead it will be a squared ring. Needless to say, troubles began knocking at the fighters’ doors long before the two stepped onto the canvas. One such trouble arose during the last press conference, where a man questioned Diaz’s strength. 

The incident created quite a ruckus at the press conference, as a few members of Stockton native’s team chased the man for an altercation. But do you know what the ‘Street Jesus’ had to say about it? Well, he claimed that he had no part in it at all.

Jorge Masvidal denies being a part of the N3ON episode

Right before the fight between Diaz and Masvidal, Michael Bisping interviewed the ‘Gamebred Fighter’. Therein, it was pretty hard for the former light heavyweight contender to stay away from talking about the YouTuber, N3ON, who asked a question to Diaz that greatly infuriated him and his team. N3ON asked, “When you do get knocked out, are you gonna retire?” ‘The Count’ then asked if that episode was planned by Masvidal.

‘Gamebred’ surprised the fight fans when he revealed that he knew the YouTuber. However, the impression that he got from N3EON wasn’t too positive. He said, “I know the kid, I got to meet him. I think he’s a interesting character. Crazy motherf***er little, crazy, dude is crazy, you know, to do that and this guy is there with all his people just looking for problems to start, you know. It’s troll of the year, man. Guy does not give a f***. That little guy. And he’s like 90 pounds. I met him, you know. He’s like 90 pounds.” 

But when it came to planning it all, Masvidal simply had no role in it. The former BMF title holder pointed out that it was just a result of the YouTuber’s own craziness. He said, “But that wasn’t like a setup for me or nothing. That was just, that was his own craziness.”

Is Jorge Masvidal the real deal, or is he just looking for trouble with Nate Diaz's crew?

Have an interesting take?

Needless to say, ‘The Stockton Slugger’ did not appreciate the assumption that N3ON made. He sent some X-rated words in the YouTuber’s way, which indeed shook N3ON. In the aftermath, visuals of Diaz’s team jumping N3ON went viral. But now, let’s bring our focus back to the fighters. Did you know that Masvidal was planning to make a return to the UFC after fighting Diaz?

As the conversation continued between Bisping and Masvidal, the UFC analyst asked the former mixed martial artist if he would return to the UFC after signing off three fights in his boxing contract.

Masvidal revealed that one of the conditions for him to venture off into the realm of punches was his comeback to the UFC. The 39-year-old fighter has it all planned out to return to the UFC for one final battle. He said, “Come back. Definitely do another fight. And from there check the landscape out to see if I’m staying in the UFC or more than likely I’ll be coming back to boxing man and just getting the biggest matchups I possibly can in boxing.”
