After retiring from the UFC, former BMF champion Jorge Masvidal has been seen ‘fake tussling’ with Jake Paul before appearing as a guest on his podcast. He recently offered to train Elon Musk ahead of his ‘Billionaire’s fight’ against Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. According to reports, he is excited about the Nate Diaz vs. Jake Paul match.
However, there is something else that excites Masvidal equally and it turns out that he has made a simple request. Recent developments suggest that UFC President Dana White has agreed to Masvidal’s request. When this news was announced, the fans commented – some showed appreciation while others poked fun at his relationship with Dustin Poirier.

If it’s Justin that’ll be awkward considering he’s trained with Dustin for a long time and they are friends lol
