Jorge Masvidal said:
” If somebody is saying something it does not really matter to me. I like to scrap. The talking crap is just a little bit more motivation. I got all the motivation I need with Nate with the headlining main event on MSG, the biggest fight of the year, one of the most anticipated in a long time. I am gonna give him my all to separate myself from the pack once again and finish Nate. Cause those things don’t go in my way. So all I am going for is a finish, all he is going for is a finish.”
