Jorge Masvidal is one of the biggest names in the UFC. He is known for his amazing striking abilities and skills that helped him earn the record for the fastest knockout in the promotion’s history. However, his UFC career has been on a downward spiral since 2020. He has been winless for three years with three consecutive losses. Masvidal’s upcoming fight against Gilbert Burns could be his last opportunity to revive his chances for a shot at the welterweight championship.

The UFC recently released the UFC 287 ‘Countdown’ video where ‘Gamebred’ mentioned the significance of his next fight in his hometown, Miami.

Last chance for Jorge Masvidal?

The former BMF of the UFC claims that he might consider quitting MMA if he does not get the result he intends to get in his fight against Gilbert Burns. He said, “This could be the last one.” Masvidal added, “If I lose, I am pretty much calling it quits. But a win against Gilbert [Burns] means that things are headed into the right direction.”

‘Gamebred’ believes that if he can analyze the fight in the right way, he might have a shot at winning. “If I roll the dice and I do everything right. I am going for it all.” It is clearly a do-or-die predicament for the Miami native. He would seek to leave no stone unturned. Many fans have reacted to this statement on social media.
