UFC Fighter Jorge Masvidal Reacts to a Meme Referencing His Rags-to-Riches Story

Every Jorge Masvidal fan knows two things: his backyard fights and his love for food. Masvidal has been in the game for a long time. Though he has 50 professional fights, he has been fighting long before his professional MMA career started.

Masvidal has made continuous progress in his career. His knocking out Ben Askren in five seconds and his fight with Nate Diaz have been the highlights of his career. One more highlight has been him talking about food. The fighter loves his junk food. In several videos, he can be seen passionately talking about it as well as gorging on some delicious fast food.

‘RT Sport’ shared a ‘How it started’ versus ‘How it’s going’ meme featuring the fighter. In the first picture, Masvidal was seen holding up a paper that read that he would fight for food. But the second picture had him posing with food and descending from a plane. The comparison shows how far he has come.

Interestingly, ‘Gamebred’ commented on the post. The fighter seems to have found it quite amusing, as he commented with a few laughing emojis below the post.
