After facing a loss against ‘Durinho’ via unanimous decision, Masvidal retired from the sport that had been his passion for 20 long years. Even though ‘Gamebred’ began his fighting career nearly two decades ago, he was one of the most underappreciated fighters.

The UFC community took a while to recognize the great fighter in him. Masvidal became a household name by the year 2019 when he scored two consecutive knockouts against Darren Till and Ben Askren. Masvidal rose to fame when he achieved a spectacular victory against Askren with a flying knee just five seconds into the bout. This finish still remains the fastest finish in UFC’s history. By the time Masvidal retired, fame and financial stability had come his way, and he left the battlefield with zero regrets.
