UFC star Jorge Masvidal has lately been quite active on Facebook. Masvidal, who has had three consecutive losses in the UFC, shares a variety of articles and videos on the said social media platform. In the past, Masvidal frequently took to Facebook to offer his opinions regarding a wide range of topics. He spoke about the third fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin. In addition, he talked about Floyd Mayweather’s bout with Mikuru Asakura in Japan.

Recently, ‘Gamebred‘ Jorge Masvidal took to Facebook to share a video of trash-talking and showboating gone wrong in fights. While sharing the video, Jorge Masvidal referred to the Hindu concept of ‘Karma’ and said, “Greatest #Karma Moment in History!”

Despite their showboating and mind games that were annoying, Whitlock, Hatton, and Broner lost. On the other hand, in the UFC, Masvidal’s current status comprises 16 defeats and 35 wins. He hasn’t won a single fight since 2019. Therefore, Masvidal’s activities on Facebook seem a little cryptic. However, his activity on Facebook brought back memories of the 2007 Mayweather vs Hatton bout.
