Jorge Masvidal is one of the most well-known fighters in the UFC, because of his amazing striking skills in the MMA cage. The UFC’s “BMF” title holder is also well recognized for being extremely interested in social media. Masvidal prefers keeping his fingers busy by posting stuff on his social media handles, which are mostly about the fight game. Recently, the ‘Gamebred’ took to Facebook and shared a post showing the noted UFC referee, Herb Dean, facing an opponent inside the MMA cage.

Dean was seen dominating his opponent in the video. Dean threw some good straight right and left punches, and a few body-kicks as well. Furthermore, he attempted some surprising head-kicks too.
