Jorge Masvidal Once Proved He Was the Ultimate Call of Duty Fan by Skipping Intense Training Sessions

For a UFC fighter, training is as essential as breathing. It is a demanding sport and requires years’ worth of conditioning to compete at the top level. Accordingly, one can easily find these top athletes grinding away religiously in the Gym. Unless you are Jorge Masvidal, in which case you can not only skip on training but treat yourself to some refreshing Call of Duty instead.

‘Gamebred’ has a significant presence on YouTube, as his channel ‘Jorge Masvidal’ has over 800,000 subscribers. This is where you would find a peculiar-looking video showcasing the fighter having some fun playing his favorite video game.

For fans wondering why that is, you can hear it straight from the horse’s mouth. ‘Gamebred’ claims Call of Duty “keeps your reflexes sharp.”

It seems like he was keen on training both his body and mind. Keen enough to spend hours in-game, when he was supposed to be at the gym training instead. As you can imagine, his coach Juan Carlos Faraldo wasn’t stoked about that. He called the fighter to remind him of his schedule; however, when Jorge refuses to pick up the call, Juan shows up at his place instead.
