Looking back at his time in the UFC, Jorge Masvidal reveals one significant regret. In 2019, he had a breakthrough moment with a stunning knockout win over Darren Till, followed by a quick victory over Ben Askren with a flying knee. He then claimed the BMF belt by defeating Nate Diaz, transitioning from a midcard fighter to a superstar.
However, his success was short-lived, beginning with a last-minute title bout against Kamaru Usman at UFC 251. Masvidal admitted regret over not receiving the pay-per-view earnings he believed he should have, even though he was earning more than ever. He was defeated by Usman via unanimous decision and then suffered a knockout loss in their rematch at UFC 261. Following losses to Colby Covington and Gilbert Burns, Masvidal left the UFC while on a four-fight losing streak.
Despite his recent setbacks, Masvidal remains a prominent figure in the world of combat sports. He has expanded into promoting bare-knuckle MMA and professional boxing matches under his ‘Gamebred’ brand. On July 6th, Masvidal will have a rematch with Nate Diaz in a boxing match co-promoted by Gamebred Boxing and Real Fight Inc. Fans can watch the event for $79.99 via the Fanmio app.
