Jorge Masvidal slams KSI in explosive rant
KSI has struggled to search out an opponent for his comeback bout, with soccer star, Wayne Bridge, pulling out of their supposed contest, and apparently several massive MMA names also turning down the challenge.
In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the social media star claimed: I do know I’m not even allowed to say this, but f— it, bro. Dillon Danis wasn’t even my fourth alternative.”
He continued: “We went to Nate Diaz, he said, ‘No’, we went to Donald Cerrone, he said, ‘No’, we went to Tony Ferguson, he said, ‘No’.
“These guys said, ‘No’, to me. I’m there confused as to why a footballer (soccer player) would fight me, but these top UFC, ex-UFC fighters don’t need to fight me.
“Even Jorge Masvidal, we went to Masvidal to fight, and he can’t do it due to the UFC. Guys, we’ve been trying to search out people to fight. All these ex-UFC fighters, nobody desires to fight me.
“People fight Jake Paul because they’ve a probability of beating him, because he’s not actually that good.
“I’m probably going to get in trouble for saying certain people didn’t need to fight me, but f— it, I don’t even care anymore.”
In fact, Masvidal wasn’t going to take these comments lying down, tweeting: “Idk what it’s with you UK motherf—— but persist with selling that p— in a bottle because I’ll beat your f—— a–.”

While KSI insists he’s been finding it difficult to prepare fights, he hasn’t shown any sympathy towards his arch-rival, who appears to be having the identical issue.
‘The Problem Child’ was reportedly closing in on a monster collision with Canelo Alvarez.
Nonetheless, on the last minute, the Mexican superstar selected to face Terence Crawford as a substitute.
Unsurprisingly, KSI utilized the turn of events to launch a verbal onslaught in Paul’s direction.
