Jorge Masvidal has cast fresh doubt on Conor McGregor accepting a future UFC fight at 170lb.
McGregor has finally announced he will return to UFC action this year against Michael Chandler as part of the promotion's latest series of The Ultimate Fighter which the pair have already filmed. The Irishman has faced an arduous spell outside of the cage after breaking his leg, which has seen him pile on the pounds to prepare for his return.
It was announced by both McGregor and Chandler that his return fight will likely be held at 170lb as the UFC superstar eyes a new run in another weight class. This appeared to open the door to a potential contest with Masvidal who has regularly called out his fellow star insisting that a fight would generate huge numbers.
