I feel like at this point they know Conor\u2019s going to pull out, and they\u2019re just getting everyone to buy into the hype before he pulls out three weeks before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI don\u2019t see Conor getting in and doing anything,\u201d Masvidal continued. \u201cHe\u2019s having a good time doing cocaine, and it\u2019s not that fun to go to the gym and put in the work, to get your ass kicked day in and day out, to run those miles, swim those laps, and have your coaches telling you what time to wake up. He doesn\u2019t want that lifestyle. He\u2019d rather fight at bars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThe guy had a great career, but this bulls\u2014t about him coming back? I\u2019ve been hearing this idiot say that for four or five years and then cancel. Just shut the f\u2014k up. Hell no, the card does not need him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That being said, Masvidal is still hoping the UFC will bring him <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2024\/10\/9\/24265969\/dana-white-jorge-masvidal-and-tyron-woodley-probably-not-returning-to-ufc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">back into the fold<\/a> and place him on the card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThis White House thing came about and that lit a f\u2014king fire like never before,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve just been training twice a day, every day, eating right, trying to go to sleep right, and I don\u2019t have a date, I don\u2019t have nothing. The fight\u2019s far away. So I\u2019m just thinking: this is the right thing to get me in there, to get me riled up, so I\u2019m talking to the UFC, my management\u2019s talking to them, to maybe do something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThis White House card, that\u2019s all I wanna do.
