UFC 287: Irate Fans Bash Jorge Masvidal as He Gets Into Street Altercation After Kevin Holland Brawl While Waiting on Colby Covington Trial

As he steps in to face Gilbert Burns at UFC 287, Jorge Masvidal will have been fighting for almost two decades. ‘Gamebred’ started fighting on the streets of Miami before he took his talents to various organizations and eventually the UFC. However, his street-fighting tendencies have recently infuriated a section of the fans.

Masvidal is all set to face Burns in the co-main event of UFC 287 in the Miami-Dade Arena. Both fighters have made weight and all we’re waiting for is the starting bell. However, Masvidal managed to get into an altercation after the weigh-ins.

A recently surfaced footage shows him being held back by members of his entourage as he is infuriated. He looked to be in a confrontation with someone and was not happy about it. We can also see Masvidal shoving away the person holding him back before angrily walking away from the scene.

The 39-year-old has a reputation for getting into street fights. His backstage scuffle with Leon Edwards has now produced a full-fledged rivalry between the pair. His alleged altercation with Colby Covington has landed him in serious legal trouble and kept him occupied and out of action for almost a year after their fight.

Fans react to recent footage of Jorge Masvidal in a street altercation

In a video recently released by TMZ, we can see the alleged incident involving Jorge Masvidal take place on the roads of Miami. However, it is unclear who he is confronting.

Nevertheless, Masvidal’s demeanor and body language indicated that he was not happy with whatever happened. Furthermore, fans were not happy with Masvidal. They voiced their frustrations in the responses under a tweet showing the clip.

One fan reminded him of the legal troubles he is already facing. He also trashed ‘Street Jesus’ for risking a guaranteed payday over silly street fights.

Another fan said he was not setting a good example for the sport.

One fan did not like Masvidal’s ‘street fighter’ personality trait and he did not mince words while saying it out loud.

Another fan did not mind the incident and reminded everyone that Masvidal has been doing this since his younger days.

One fan did not take sides and held both parties at fault.

Another fan accused him of trying to get out of Saturday’s co-main event against Burns.

Ironically, this is not the first altercation that Masvidal has had during the UFC 287 fight week. A few days ago, he had a run-in with fellow welterweight Kevin Holland in the UFC 287 fighter hotel. Fans had a field day trolling both fighters for flapping gums at each other.
