Jorge Masvidal open to Khabib Nurmagomedov fight at lightweight if price is right: ‘The moolah’s gonna talk’

Jorge Masvidal has his eyes on the welterweight prize. After that, he’s going to keep following the money.

Before his stunning rise through the 170-pound ranks, Masvidal compiled an impressive resume competing primarily at 155 pounds, defeating the likes of Joe Lauzon, Yves Edwards, and K.J. Noons, in the early stages of his career before making his way to the UFC and adding Tim Means, Michael Chiesa, and James Krause to his resume.

It’s this past success that likely prompted a fan to ask if the “BMF” champion has any plans to return to the division for a superfight with UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov after potentially settling his business with welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.
