Morning Report: Dustin Poirier says Jorge Masvidal not really stepping in on short notice: ‘The guy never sto… – MMA Fighting

The 10 best rounds in ONE Championship history. This is an enjoyable one.

Masvidal is 35-13 in his MMA profession and holds the UFC record for fastest blockage, a five-second KO of Ben Askren.

” Like I stated, I do not know if he just had a premonition, had a sensation, but he was in the gym nonstop, so Im thrilled for him. Hes an excellent guy and a leader of mixed martial arts so its great to see him get these opportunities.”

That didnt last long.

For a man who is retired, he sure does not act like it.

Thiago Santos (21-7) vs. Glover Teixeira (31-7); UFC Fight Night, Sept. 12.

Consulting with THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas podcast, UFC light-weight contender and Masvidals American Top Team colleague Dustin Poirier exposed that regardless of the contract negotiation snafu, Masvidal has actually been gradually preparing to deal with Usman this entire time, which he played a critical role in Poiriers own preparation for his fight with Dan Hooker 2 weeks earlier.

” I dont understand if he understood something that we didnt, however the person remained in training school the whole time and never stopped,” Poirier stated. “I believe hes going to surprise a great deal of people with the type of shape hes in. His timing is gon na be great (because) he was in my camp the entire time, assisting a couple of people, not simply me. Hes in battle shape, I understand that much. This isnt a guy coming off the sofa. This is a man who was preparing to eliminate Usman and the battle failed and he kept training.

” Its a short-notice (fight) due to the fact that he didnt have the agreement signed, but let me tell you what, this man was there my entire training camp, he was my main sparring partner,” Poirier said. I believe he put them up and the guys were there simply for Jorge, just for Masvidal to use. Even when the battle fell through and they offered it to Burns, I believe it was at the end of my training camp, Jorge was still in the fitness center every day like he had a fight.”

Not going any longer. They turned my kid down. ♂– Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) July 7, 2020

On Saturday, Masvidal will challenge Kamaru Usman for the welterweight title at UFC 251 in Abu Dhabi. For months, everyone thought Usman and Masvidal would battle; however agreement settlements stalled the procedure prior to ultimately falling through entirely.

Mike Perry has thoughts.

Good dudes.

Poor Leon Edwards is confused.

Regard.

Concluding UFC 251.

But then Burns checked positive for COVID-19 last week and was required off the card. When that happened, the UFC relied on Masvidal to action in on short notification and now, rather of having months to prepare, Masvidal has just had 6 days. Or so it would appear.

Those Jorge Masvidal fans who are concerned about the short-notice nature of this weekends fight can rest a little simpler.

That is good news for Masvidal fans, as “Gamebred” is currently facing an uphill fight even without the brief notification. Oddsmakers currently have Usman installed as a heavy favorite over Masvidal, whichs without taking into account that his head coach will no longer have the ability to corner him. But Poirier believes the BMF champion is going to surprise a great deal of individuals on Saturday.

Money. Paige VanZant likes the UFC but I could have just had a routine task with the very same pay over the past six years.

Thanks for reading and see y all tomorrow.

When that took place, the UFC turned to Masvidal to step in on short notification and now, instead of having months to prepare, Masvidal has only had six days. I believe he put them up and the people were there just for Jorge, just for Masvidal to use.
