UFC welterweight contender, Jorge Masvidal sure loves to kick up a storm. His recent victim seems to be none other than the singer, Justin Bieber. In fact, he might have asked the five-division world champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. to open a path for Bieber to enter the ring.
It was reported that Bieber first met Mayweather in 2012. The boxing legend had reached out to Bieber after watching his film, ‘Never Say Never’. This in turn, bloomed into a close bond between the duo, with Mayweather even becoming his mentor.
