“It was a fun tour going all over the U.S.A., but I’m done with all this talking. Square off with yourself.”
JORGE MASVIDAL
“I expect to silence all his fans when I’m done with my work on fight day.
“It’s gonna be two dogs in the ring. Neither of us are backing down. I know it’s gonna take everything I’ve got to take him down and shut everyone up.
“We already fought and he knows what I bring. I bring speed and power, and I’m not a nice guy. I’m gonna bring the heat like always.”
