“If You’d Sucker Punch You’d Grease” – Jorge Masvidal’s Retort to Cheating Accusations by Gilbert Burns Leaves Fans With Mixed Reactions

Jorge Masvidal lost his fourth consecutive fight last weekend against Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 in Miami. However, ‘Durinho’ later went on to accuse his opponent of cheating during the fight, and ‘Gamebred’ was not happy about the same. Masvidal has responded to those accusations in a recent interview with famous combat sports journalist, Ariel Helwani.

Gilbert Burns mentioned in the post-fight press conference that Jorge Masvidal cheated by using one of the old tricks where fighters apply a lot of lotion to prevent their opponents from getting a proper grip during grappling attempts. But the former BMF claims that he didn’t do any of that during their fight.

Jorge Masvidal dismissed Burns’ claims

‘Gamebred’ addressed the greasing allegations and said, “I have never greased, I have never been caught for cheating or anything.” He mentioned that he sweats a lot during fights, but he is adamant that he didn’t try to cheat. Masvidal added, “Maybe I am the sweatiest motherf***** he knows. But… I have never put on anything in my life forever, you know. I have never done that in my life.”

Masvidal thinks that Gilbert Burns should look to himself and work on his techniques. He said, “Maybe he [Burns] should blame his technique for being sh*tty, not being able to do anything but just hold on the ground. I have never cheated in my life.” Many fans have reacted to Masvidal’s response on social media.

The greasing allegations did make a lot of people take notice. UFC prospect Bo Nickal also commented in an Instagram post that he is sure that Masvidal did not grease during the fight. He said, “Not greased.”

“No steroid usage or cheating in fights, I believe Jorge”

“Gilbert burns has grappled with more men than hairs on your head. If he thinks someone is greasing, they are.”

“Just holding you on the ground? He rocked you bad a few times”

“Curious if there are skin products that do it without their knowledge, like suntan lotion or whatever.”
