Jorge Masvidal: Making moves

It seemed like a no-brainer when Jorge Masvidal put his hat in the ring and ventured out into fight promotion. He’s adopted a backyard-style bare-knuckle organization that harkens back to his days in Miami’s 305. Hence, this can be seen as him paying homage to his roots as it is well known that ‘Gamebred’ had his come up on Kimbo Slice’s backyard street fighting circuit in the early 2000s.

With Masvidal’s growing popularity, it was a matter of time before he entered new avenues away from cage fighting. He’s 36-years-old and has over 50 professional fights under his belt. With a significant amount of mileage on him, Jorge Masvidal is looking at the next phase of his life.

However, active competition remains his focus and priority as he’s looking to return to the UFC’s octagon in October. He’s coming off a violent KO defeat to Kamaru Usman and will be keen to bounce back to winning ways.

His stock continues to be at an all-time high. However, another loss could jeopardize his movement forward. There are plenty of fights out there for Masvidal and he largely has free rein to decide his next opponent.
