Overview
- Dana White said after Saturday’s UFC 327 press conference that the promotion is talking to Jorge Masvidal but has no fight lined up, and Masvidal said he expects a deal and wants four to five months to prepare.
- Masvidal named Leon Edwards as the matchup that would bring him back right away, pointing to their 2019 backstage clash and saying he would cut to 170 pounds “by tomorrow” for that fight.
- Masvidal said he declined a Most Valuable Promotions–Netflix offer because he remains under UFC contract and was told the UFC had plans for him, signaling limited crossover freedom while talks continue.
- Conor McGregor posted fresh training clips on Wednesday and wrote he is “coming back to… knock people out for my money,” as media continue to link him to a possible July 11 International Fight Week return that the UFC has not confirmed.
- McGregor settled Artem Lobov’s Dublin court case and said he can now focus on training for a summer fight, yet White’s recent “nothing new” update and ongoing pay dynamics leave any comeback bout unannounced.
