Conor McGregor UFC news: Joe Rogan warns Notorious about fighting Jorge Masvidal

Joe Rogan has warned Conor McGregor about the problems he could face if he fights Jorge Masvidal.

'Gamebred' recently called out the Dubliner after his five-second KO win against Ben Askren.

He said on the Dan Le Batard Show: “I want [Conor] McGregor. I want to break his face.I think that’s an easy paycheque.

“He’s got these cash symbols written all over his face for me. I just don’t see it going his way if I’m honest with you.”

But UFC commentator Rogan belives it could be a very tough fight for The Notorious.

He said on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast: “That’s a rough fight for Conor. Masvidal is a big fella too.

“He really belongs at 170 [pounds], that’s where he’s fighting. He fought at 155, but really tortured himself to make that weight. He’s a big guy.

“You’re talking about a guy that knocked out ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone, knocked out Darren Till, knocked out Ben Askren. I mean, he’s knocking out big welterweights — big.

"Darren Till is a big welterweight. He’s big. He’s not a guy coming up from 155 pounds. He’s never making 155 pounds.

“In the last few fights, [Masvidal] is coming into his own, really becoming something special.”
