A fight between Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor is a guaranteed PPV sellout

Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor were knocked out cold for the first time in their respective careers.

While McGregor crumbled against Dustin Poirier at UFC 257, Masvidal was flattened by welterweight champion Kamaru Usman at UFC 261.

However, both McGregor and Masvidal’s presence hasn’t diminished one bit. Their brand value is still massive as ever.

In the wake of this, a horde of MMA fans have been calling for a fight between ‘Gamebred’ and ‘The Notorious’.

But, Masvidal’s manager Malki Kawa wanted to put an end to this. Taking to Twitter he quote tweeted a fan who claimed that the Masvidal-McGregor fight would be huge in PPV numbers and also in terms of action.
