BMF titleholder and UFC welterweight, Jorge Masvidal followed the Super Bowl like millions of Americans. One moment from the game caught his attention, and he decided to share the same on his social media.
‘Gamebred’ tweeted an image of a Tampa Bay Buccaneers player showing a peace sign to a Kansas City Chiefs star during Super Bowl LV. He wrote, “Cause some of you don’t get it,” with a peace sign in the end.

How is this controversial, though, you might ask? Well, Jorge Masvidal was born and brought up in the city of Miami, Florida, who has their team in the NFL, the Miami Dolphins. They, of course, weren’t competing for the title and exited after the regular season.
Thought you lived in Miami and are a phins fan??

The tweet caught a lot of flak from the angered Dolphins fans who had just seen their state rivals win the Super Bowl. ‘Gamebred’ though seemed to be a fan of the peace sign. Could we see him use it in the octagon in 2021?
Jorge Masvidal and his fighting career
Masvidal wouldn’t have been bothered by some reactions to his post. Instead, he would be focused on his return to the UFC. The fighter is currently embroidered in one of the sport’s most fascinating rivalries of all time with Colby Covington.
They are incredibly controversial characters with a lot of bad blood between them. The cherry on top of the cake is that they were roommates and best friends in the early part of their life.

Both ‘Chaos’ and ‘Gamebred’ suffered defeats to Kamaru Usman, and want to fight for the belt once more. An eliminator between the duo would result in a windfall for the UFC and see a massive feud settled.
It’s never a dull day in the office when Jorge Masvidal is around, and indeed by the end of the year, we will see him in the cage again.
