Masvidal last fought in the UFC in April 2023, dropping a decision to Gilbert Burns. The loss was his fourth straight match and he announced his retirement after the fight.
He did return to combat sports in July 2024 for a boxing match against Nate Diaz, which ‘Gamebred’ lost by decision. Since then, Masvidal has hinted at a possible return, and now he believes it could be on the White House card against Conor McGregor.
“My son Ali (Abdelaziz) is putting on the facetime. He’s getting in their face. It’s not looking bad right now. I can’t say too much more, but it’s not looking bad right now,” said to Helwani about fighting McGregor in the White House. “They are talking, the dialogue is open, there is communication, and we will keep that communication open.”
A fight between Masvidal and McGregor has been rumored for years, so if it finally happened at the White House event it would be a huge event. However, no contracts have been issued or signed so far, but Masvidal hopes that this will become a reality.
Jorge Masvidal wants to fight based on the White House card
While fighting McGregor would be ideal, Masvidal said he just wants to be on the White House card.
Masvidal believes it would be a cool storyline for him, ranging from fights in backyards to the White House lawn.
“The White House card is everything to me. I want to be on this card so bad. I pray to God that I want to be on this card, it’s the White House,” Masvidal said.
Jorge Masvidal (35-17) is coming off a decision loss to Burns, and before that he lost by decision to Colby Covington. He also suffered a KO loss to Kamaru Usman and a decision loss to Usman for the welterweight title. Masvidal’s last win in the UFC came in 2019 against Nate Diaz.
