UFC: Jorge Masvidal says ‘a lot of people are gonna be mad’ with his pay cheque for Nate Diaz fight
- ‘Gamebred’ thinks he deserves big ‘BMF’ payout because of his resume and longevity
- ‘I’m this credit company that’s coming in to collect, I’ve got some interest rates to apply’
Jorge Masvidal has said a lot of his fellow UFC fighters will be “mad” when they find out how much money he’s making to fight Nate Diaz at Madison Square Garden.
The two will go at it in the main event of UFC 244, for the honour of being crowned the “baddest [expletive] in the game” with a special gimmick “BMF” belt even on the line.
UFC president Dana White said the fight “took on a life of its own” among fans with tickets almost sold out already.
“A lot of people are gonna be mad when they see this [pay cheque],” Masvidal told Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show.
“I’d rather say a lot of people are gonna be happy, but seeing how a lot of my colleagues have been talking and stuff, when they actually find out these numbers … ‘Wah! That’s not fair man!’” he added, mimicking a baby crying.
