Jorge Masvidal finds himself at a bit of a crossroads in his UFC career after losing to Colby Covington. It's not clear where he goes from here but former fighter Megan Anderson has quite the idea for him next.
Megan Anderson spoke about it on her ESPN Australia show, “Megan’s Corner” where she thinks the UFC star still has plenty of options in the welterweight division. He hasn't fought many names in the current top-15.
“Masvidal is a guy that he’s not going let the same mistake happen twice. You know, I won’t be surprised if he goes away and does what he says he is going to do and comes back as a better fighter. Now, as in who’s next, he has only fought two people.. No, three, including the champion, in the top-15. He hasn’t fought anyone. He’s fought Stephen Thompson, Colby Covington and he’s fought Kamaru Usman who is the champion. There are so many fights for him to make, Belal Muhammad, Vicente Luque. He has so much potential in this division and stardom to continue with all of the fights that could be made. As we have seen he is a huge draw.”
Although he has options at welterweight, Megan Anderson thinks he is too small for the weight class. The UFC star could find himself as an excellent option for a division in-between lightweight and welterweight.
“One thing that I think is really pertinent to Jorge Masvidal is he could be the ‘poster boy’ for the 165lbs division. I think, personally I think he’s too small for the welterweight division but he is too big for the lightweight division. There is a fifteen pound gap (between divisions), it is huge, and I think that he would be the perfect person to really kickoff that new division that I know a lot of the guys want.”
