‘Gamebred’ Jorge Masvidal is all set for Kamaru Usman this coming Saturday. A rematch from last year, the titular bout is set to headline UFC 261 on April 24, 2021.

We know most UFC fighters ink their bodies with tattoos. Their tattoos have different meanings and are closely associated with that particular fighter.

Masvidal too has inked his body with tattoos. Unlike his fellow fighters in the promotion, the tattoos cover only a small portion of his body.

Famous neck tattoo of Jorge Masvidal

Masvidal has inked a ‘Gamebred’ tattoo on the left side of his neck. The tattoo is synonymous with his fight style and also serves as his nickname. His Twitter profile timeline has ‘Gamebred’ written over that with a caption, “Gamebred is an animal that has bred to be game.”

It was his brother who suggested the name, and Masvidal had also revealed its meaning. “Game means the ability to fight through pain and fatigue. It’s not about how your skill levels are, or if you’re good, bad, or world champion. Bred is just, you have a pit bull and another pit bull–you bred a pit bull.”
