Jorge Masvidal is one of the most flamboyant fighters in the UFC right now. While he is a long-time veteran of the sport, Masvidal found his own niche in the UFC recently. It happened after he started embracing everything that he had hidden in order to keep his focus on fighting.

He started bringing the same intensity he had in backyard brawls into the cage and saw immediate success. However, just as quickly, Masvidal started living that life in front of the cameras. This was evident in his numerous interactions with fighters like Leon Edwards, which birthed the infamous ‘three-piece and a soda’ comment.
