After fighting all over the world, Jorge Masvidal is ready to cross running for the White House off his bucket list.
On June 14, the UFC will invade the south lawn of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for a fight night like no other. So far, no details have emerged about who will appear on the map of history, but that hasn’t stopped fighters from around the world from throwing their names into the proverbial hat.
Among them is Masvidal, an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump who would relish the opportunity to fight for the POTUS and all his elite friends in DC.
“Really just the honor of fighting for the White House ticket, which is something I’ve never done,” Masvidal said MMA junkie. “I’ve fought at the Playboy Mansion, I’ve fought in Russia, South Korea, South America, Madison Square Garden… there aren’t many things I haven’t been able to do in my career, and a lot of twists and turns. I never thought I would be fighting Hugh Hefner and the whole crew at the Playboy Mansion. That was different and surreal.”
“I would definitely like to do this because, in my opinion, in my book, I don’t think this will be done again. I’ve heard some fighters say, ‘Oh, there’s not really an audience, it’s just elite there.’ I understand if people don’t want to fight for the elitists or however they’re going to split the tickets, but I just want to fight in the White House. I’m a Latin asshole from immigrant parents on both sides, exhibiting my craft and skills at the highest level on the White House lawn. Who ever did that? Nobody.
“It would be a great honor for me and also to represent my Latin American community, because sometimes they label us as things that we are not. I wouldn’t mind going there and doing my thing in the White House, and that’s the only fight I come back for, honestly. Whether it’s the guy selling the cheap whiskey or a bum job, it doesn’t matter to me. It’s the White House. I really don’t care. I’m very easy to negotiate for in this particular fight.”
So far, only one name has emerged as a potential opponent for Masvidal: none other than former champion Conor McGregor.
‘The Notorious’ has made it loud and clear that he plans to compete in the White House this summer. Most assumed this meant he would finally face Michael Chandler, the man he was supposed to fight at UFC 303 in 2024. With Dana White recently putting the long-teased clash behind him, it appears McGregor vs. Masvidal is the new number 1 on everyone’s wish list.
