Jorge Masvidal Responds To Massive Shout-Out By President Donald Trump

UFC Megastar Jorge Masvidal took to Twitter and was seemingly ecstatic by the recent shout-out he received from President Donald Trump. ‘Gamebred’ appreciated the acknowledgment and let his gratitude be known.

Trump is a massive fan of the UFC and MMA and has a good relationship with UFC President Dana White. Additionally, Masivdal’s rival, Colby Covington, has drawn the President’s admiration and even received a call from him.

Donald Trump is an avid supporter of everything that the UFC has been churning out as of late. Moreover, it is clear that Jorge Masvidal’s popularity extends to the White House.

Jorge Masvidal is a bonafide star

305’s favorite son is arguably one of the biggest superstars under contract with the organization. His notoriety comes through his electrifying personality and his skills as a top tier welterweight fighter. Masvidal most recently fought for the undisputed title against Kamaru Usman in one of the biggest pay-per-views of the year.

Jorge has a legion of loyal fans that have got behind him, and his influence has led to lucrative opportunities in the company. Not to mention, he clinched the 2019 “Fighter of the Year” award, thus further boosting his profile. Also, his acclaim has spread into the mainstream landscape and doesn’t just play out in the MMA world.

The near 50-fight veteran wasn’t always the talk of the town, and he spent several years in the shadows. Chiefly, his emphatic KO victory over Darren Till in London was what catapulted him as the fan-favorite fighter he’s become. Additionally, a five-second knockout win over Ben Askren certainly didn’t hurt his stardom.

The holder of the famed BMF title will look to secure a lucrative match-up following his loss at UFC 251. All indicators point to the UFC looking to book a rematch with Nate Diaz. However, negotiations are ongoing. Fight fans lay in wait to see Jorge Masvidal’s next move as he looks to elevate his position in the sport.
