Masvidal recently shared a video on his social media handle that covered a street fight. The fight clearly reflected the popular phrase- the size of the dog in the fight doesn’t matter.
What did Jorge Masvidal share?
Jorge Masvidal can boast of an engaging Facebook account. While his Facebook account has fun and engaging content that he shares, the MMA fighter also doesn’t shy away from hot takes. The theme of all the shared content revolves around combat sports and relates to it in one way or another. Thus, the fans call him ‘Jim likes what he sees.’
In one of his recently shared videos, Masvidal shared a street fight incident. At the first glance, the fight looked like a typical David vs Goliath scenario between two teenagers. One of the teenagers was a jacked Afro-American and anyone watching the fight on the sidelines would have bet on him for the win.
However, as soon as the brawl started, the tables turned, and the jacked teenager found himself on the ground, struggling to get up. It turned out that the David of the fight, a skinny guy, was a trained MMA fighter.

Why it caught Masvidal’s attention?
