Masvidal is and was a borderline journeyman who got the initial fight through being a fan favourite. The fact that he got a rematch before Covington, plus Usman wants to fight anyone who is not Covington speaks volumes.
Different sports, different power. McGregor who's high level MMA striker with numerous finishes hit an old Mayweather who was also the smaller man clean a few times with absolutely no reaction.
