Conor McGregor UFC news: Jorge Masvidal claims fight with Notorious would end in murder charge

UFC star Jorge Masvidal has claimed that a fight with Conor McGregor would end up in a murder charge.

The welterweight is getting primed for a showdown with McGregor's rival Nate Diaz in November.

And like many fighters, Masvidal has also been linked with a fight with the Notorious in the past.

But the 34-year-old has claimed that UFC chief Dana White warned the pairing could have deadly consequences.

Masvidal said on ESPN's "Get Up" on Thursday: "That fight, the president [Dana White] deemed it not good because they don't want a murder charge on me.

"So they're not going to allow that to happen. The president himself already said it, so, I don't want to go to jail for killing nobody. That's not what I want to do. I'm here to compete.

"The president said that we can't compete because I'm too much man. That can't happen. We're different spectrums. They're not going to allow that to happen."
