"I think he's one of the best fighters to do it. He's a dog when he goes in there, but whether it had been me or Nate fighting Max, it wasn't going to be his best night either... I would love to fight Max just as a stylistic matchup. I think he's a great stand-up fighter - I just think I'm better."
"Masvidal (35-17) won the inaugural UFC BMF title against Nate Diaz via a doctor's stoppage in 2019. Masvidal went on to lose his next few fights, and the BMF title lost relevance for a while. Holloway (27-8) became the next BMF champion in 2024 with an iconic knockout win over Justin Gaethje. Holloway has since defended his title against Dustin Poirier and will look to defend it against Charles Oliveira at UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas."
Jorge Masvidal seeks a fight with Max Holloway for the UFC BMF title, asserting he is a better stand-up fighter and would challenge Holloway stylistically. Masvidal won the inaugural BMF title in 2019 over Nate Diaz but lost subsequent fights and has not competed since 2023. Max Holloway captured the BMF title in 2024 with a knockout of Justin Gaethje, defended against Dustin Poirier, and is scheduled to defend against Charles Oliveira at UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas. Holloway called the BMF belt a "laughing stock" before he held it, prompting Masvidal's displeasure. Masvidal has hinted at a June return at the White House.
