Strikeforce’s newest addition to its lightweight ranks, Jorge Masvidal has been giving his thoughts on his pivotal fight this coming weekend in Columbus, Ohio with undefeated 155 pounder, Billy Evangelista, explaining he’s super excited to have arrived but now it’s time to kick some ass.Speaking via MMAWeekly.com, Masvidal said:
“Super excited to get in there and kick some butt and give the fans what they want to see, especially in Strikeforce on a huge card like that. I’m super excited. They have a good combination of different types of fighters and styles and the way they impose their will.”
“Especially what I think makes the Strikeforce lightweight division so good is the crossover with Japan. Guys from Dream can come over, guys from Sengoku can come in and fight, so I think it’s an awesome deal. It’s probably one of the biggest lightweight divisions out there.”
On his opponent this weekend, Billy Evangelista, Masvidal said:“He’s unbeaten, so if I beat him, I’m popping his cherry. After this, whoever Scott Coker (Strikeforce CEO) or whoever tells me who’s my next toughest opponent on my way to getting the title, that’s who I want to fight next. Line them up and I’ll fight them.”
Masvidal was last seen on the Shark Fights 13 card in September, losing via decision to top welterweight contender, Paul “Semtex” Daley. He holds a notable head kick win over veteran, Yves Edwards from back in 2007. Stay tuned to MMABay for more build-up to this one as we get it.
