Masvidal eagerly quoted, I uh I had pulled like my calves right before my last fight so was getting therapy and my homie was here my twin as you say so um, I didn’t have the phone on me I looked and I go bro Trump just called me; he goes no way, and I go bro he just call me and his is like, by the time I see the message and it was like 12 at night I’m thinking if he’s going to pick up” Masvidal appeared enthusiastic after detailing the anecdote.

How’s the training camp going? You know I am coming to your fight right this from my last fight in Miami. You know I am going to be there right? You know when you are on, nobody can beat you in this world man, you are a f*cking machine man. How’s your training camp going?”

After so many praises and well wishes, Masvidal would have been delighted to get a call from a guy like Donald Trump. His spirit must have been fueled by the fact that he is Trump’s favorite. Masvidal has a long history in the game. He is well-known in the world of contemporary martial arts. And Trump’s admiration makes it evident.

‘Gamebred’ called it quits after falling to beat Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 in Miami. He did, however, state that he would ‘entertain’ a return to the UFC if a highly compelling fight card is put up in an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour
