Jorge Masvidal, the former UFC star and ex-BMF champion, has announced his decision to come out of retirement
Masvidal, known as ‘Gamebred,’ had initially retired after a defeat against Gilbert Burns in April. Despite retiring, he continued to make headlines by launching his own promotion, ‘Gamebred Boxing,’ featuring former UFC stars. The 39-year-old fighter, who gained fame through backyard fights on YouTube, tweeted a single word, ‘unretired,’ signaling his return to the sport.
Masvidal’s Cryptic Comeback and Potential UFC 300 Appearance
Masvidal had previously hinted at a comeback, stating in October that he would be fighting early the following year, teasing that “somebody is going to get killed.” While the nature of his return remains unclear, fans speculate the possibility of Masvidal featuring on the UFC 300 card in April. Speculation includes a potential rematch with Nate Diaz, whom Masvidal defeated in 2019 to claim the BMF belt. Masvidal’s career gained momentum with notable victories, including a quick KO against Ben Askren and a BMF title win against Diaz. Despite subsequent losses, Masvidal appears eager to return to competitive action and possibly make a comeback on a historic UFC 300 card.
