As well as teasing a fight with the Irishman, top UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal has shared his praise for former champ-champ and UFC superstar Conor McGregor. Masvidal (34-13) scored the fastest knockout in UFC history in his last fight against Ben Askren at UFC 239, knocking out the former undefeated ‘Funky’ in just 5-seconds with a flying knee.
