Masvidal: Talking with Cowboy’s grandma was a ‘heart blow’

Jorge Masvidal has a reputation that could get him a part in the remake of Scarface. However, another side came out during a post-fight interview Saturday night with Megan Olivi. Masvidal had just beaten Donald Cerrone, and was approached by Cowboy’s grandmother.

Man, she killed me, man,” said Masvidal, as transcribed by Milan Ordoñez for BE. “That was like a heart blow. She just came up to me and she said, ‘that’s my grandson, and you’re a great fighter, and nobody has taken out my grandson like that.’

I might be a bad guy, but things like that, they get me. I don’t wanna beat nobody in front of their mom or grandma. I have kids, I couldn’t imagine seeing my kids going in there. That hurt a little bit.

After the stoppage, I looked over when he stood up I looked him right in the eyes and he was completely out of it. When he sat down, and then about 25-30 seconds later I managed to get eye contact from him. He wasn’t looking at me, but he was looking around and I could see he was still out of it.

He’s a warrior. The shot that I hit him with and the couple shots that I hit him with on the ground, not a lot of dudes would get back up and want to keep going, but he actually he did. He gave it all he had. He’s got all my respect in the world.

Masvidal says he wants his next fight to be against anyone who can beat him, and offered UFC president Dana White a $200,000 bet that no one can be found.
