Jorge Masvidal and UFC haven’t been on good terms ever since Masvidal raised his voice after his fall out with the company a couple of weeks back. Jorge Masvidal took to twitter to criticize the company for unfair pay to the fighters. Masvidal claimed that the company is playing with him.
Jorge Masvidal was scheduled to face Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight championship, however, after the negotiations fell off with the company, UFC decided to hand Gilbert Burns a shot at the title. UFC was very close to booking Jorge Masvidal vs Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight title, and even after last minute talks with Masvidal, both the parties failed to settle on common grounds.

He took on Darren Till in the main event of UFC Fight Night London, where he slept Till with a vicious left right combination. Next, Masvidal picked up the fastest KO in the history of the sport, after he knocked out Ben Askren with a flying knee in mere 5 seconds to end Askren’s winning streak. Soon after, Masvidal took on Nate Diaz in probably one of the biggest non-title fight where he secured a stoppage victory to pick up the symbolic BMF title belt.

If you want to fight, call us. We’ll offer you fights, and if you don’t want to take them you don’t have to.”
