MMA as a combat sport provides fans with quick-paced and engaging action. In addition, the brutal knockouts keep the fans hooked, and similarly, the backstage brawls captivate the fans’ attention. However, in a recent backstage brawl, the security found an unlikely ally in UFC star Jorge Masvidal.

In the surfaced series of tweets, two fighters, instead of waiting for their determined fateful place, took the fight backstage. As the fight intensified, the ‘Gamebred’ approached the fighters with his ‘money’ talk.

How did the fans react to Jorge Masvidal playing peacemaker?

The American fighter, as he broke the fight, shared some words of wisdom and advised them to wait for their Octagon encounter.

Thus, the BMF title holder said, “You don’t get paid to fight now. Get your money tomorrow. Get your f***ing money tomorrow. You don’t get paid to fight anybody right now. Stop. Stop. Make money tomorrow… People here watching you fight tomorrow. Fight tomorrow.”

However, the fans found it hard to take the Miami-born fighter’s advice, given his own checkered history with backstage brawls.

During the post-UFC Fight Night 147 conference, Leon Edwards interrupted Masvidal’s interview as he came off an impressive knockout win against Darren Till. He thus felt the need to confront the now-UFC champion, Leon Edwards.

However, the encounter ended with the American Top Team product throwing a three-punch combo at the British fighter. Further, it left him with a cut on his face and the need for medical aid.
