I admit I'm a Jorge fan since the parking lot fistfights way back when. That being said I think he boxes the shit out of that kid if he wanted to. He's basically the same size and he's a striker unlike Woodley/fat phuck Askren.
If I was trying to promote a boxer vs UFC guys then I couldn't pick out 2 bigger chumps then Askren & Woodley. Askren is lazy and can't strike and Woodley would quit or lay-n-pray when he was in Strikeforce. Strong and tough when he wanted to fight, but he could never box. Those 2 guys can't promote for shit either. Jorge talks mega shit now just like Jake. That hype would be epic....atleast half of Conor/Floyd imo
Boxing wise Masvidal has a good jab and counters. He works the body. Has good footwork. He's one of the best boxers in the UFC. Good cardio too. He'd out-cardio Paul all day! Nearly all his losses were to wrestlers. Even this last Usman KO was because he was watching his hips and trying to protect his legs for a takedown. That and he had never been stopped in the UFC so he thought his chin was iron. No takedown worries in a boxing match. Jorge has been boxing for over 20 years!
Imo he should get w/Dana and take that 5 mil/ppv %. Thats crazy $ to turn down for Jorge. Dana should do it too? It would make a ton and shut the kid up. Masvidal is about done anyway. I think he's 38. Once Jake bites off more then can chew and gets a real boxer then he's done. The hype train and $ will die off dramatically. Gonna move fast!
Thoughts?

), but come on? He's 37 and he's not beating Usman or Khamzat. I hate Colby but I doubt he can beat him either. Leon? Maybe, but probably not. He's not getting a belt and when he loses another UFC fight or 2 then he's about done.
