“Colby Owns You”- Fans Divided as Ex-UFC Star Jorge Masvidal Shows up for Miami Heat Loss in a Flashy Shirt

Former UFC Lightweight and Welterweight fighter Jorge Masvidal might have left the UFC but he carries his style outside the ring as well. Flashy as ever, Masvidal showed up at the latest game of the Miami Heat against the Denver Nuggets in a flashy shirt. Although the Nuggets took the game 94 to 109 and the star duo Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray shone brightly through their performance, Masvidal sure was one of the biggest highlights of the game.

Having retired from UFC, Masvidal left a gaping hole in the divisions and the fans were gratified to catch a glimpse of the fighter at the game. Jorge Masvidal is a household name when it comes to combat sport and the fans grabbed this opportunity to let the world know of their fondness for the fighter and everything that he has accomplished inside the ring.

A sight for sore eyes – Masvidal arrives in Miami in style

UFC fighters make sure that they carry themselves in a way that they are instantly recognized in a room. Jorge Masvidal is a classic example of a fighter who knows how to stand out. Fans were excited to see the stylish fighter attend the game as they filled the comment section of the Instagram post by Masvidal himself.

“It’s only been two months but man i miss being hyped up for your fights so much” said one fan. Another fan commented, “Come out of your retirement to end Leon please“. The fans were clearly not handling his retirement well.

Comments like “King of Miami”, “Stud!!”, and “King of Miami blessed the heat with his presence.” only go to prove that Masvidal made quite an impact, even outside the ring. 

A fan commented saying, “BMF what’s up brada, no matter who takes the belt, Dustin, Justin, you’ll always be the real one” while another commented, “The MIAMI CHAMP of the fight game“, showing just how great of a fighter Masvidal was when he was competing professionally. 

One person commented “colby owns u” clearing exactly where his allegiance lay. 

Masvidal’s last match and his future plans – A possible return?

UFC 287 was a heartbreaking match for all Masvidal fans as he retired after suffering a harrowing defeat at the hands of Gilbert Burns. Therefore, seeing Jorge Masvidal once again was truly a treat for the fans. In an interview, the former UFC fighter clearly stated that he might have taken a break from the game but he was always open to coming back in case there was a good opportunity or a fight that piqued his interest.

In a recent video, Jorge Masvidal was seen confronting YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a parking lot in Miami. This video went viral and has fans guessing if this is a sign of things to come – a possible return of Masvidal to combat sports, if not the UFC.
