If you don’t have a number by your name, Jorge Masvidal isn’t interested in fighting you. The veteran UFC welterweight, who’s previously struggled to attract marquee opposition, today took to Twitter to dismiss callouts from those not on the top-15 list. If you’re not ranked keep my name out your mouth #realisback — Jorge Masvidal UFC (@GamebredFighter) October 15, 2018 Despite his stance, Masvidal (32-13 MMA, 9-6 UFC) remains a target for standout welterweights. Earlier this month, Vicente Luque (14-6-1 MMA, 7-2 UFC) named Masvidal as a top choice for his next fight after a blistering knockout at UFC 229. Luque currently is unranked on the UFC’s list. Asked for a response to Luque’s callout, Masvidal texted to MMAjunkie: “who is that.” Today, at least one ranked fighter would like to remind Masvidal he’s still around. British welterweight Leon Edwards (16-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) blasted “Gamebred” and accused him of ducking a potential fight.
