Jorge Masvidal has been backed by rival Gilbert Burns to make his return to the UFC in a super-fight with the likes of Conor McGregor or Nate Diaz.
The Miami native hung up his gloves after losing to Burns in his home town earlier this month, following an iconic career that saw him fight for the welterweight world title twice. But the Brazilian reckons that despite his career being over as a top contender, Masvidal could make a return against a big name for major money.
McGregor and Diaz have both had long-standing rivalries with Masvidal, particularly Diaz who lost due to a controversial doctor's stoppage in their 2019 meeting. And for years McGregor has wanted a bout with his rival, despite UFC president Dana White insisting that their size difference is insurmountable.
