Fans of Jorge Masvidal know how much the fighter loves his junk food. He craves his burgers, pizzas, and ice creams and can be spotted gorging on them in several videos.
A year ago, Masvidal shared his diet on his YouTube channel. The fighter could be seen enjoying McDonald’s. So many fans have been wondering how Masvidal has been fighting such high-level opponents while on such a diet.

In a younger clip, he can be heard saying, “Not everybody could eat McDonald’s like me and go compete”.
However, back in 2011, he realized how his diet was affecting him. Hence, he took the help of a nutritionist to help him make weight. In a conversation with Bloody Elbow, Masvidal said, “It’s been real good. I feel so dumb. It’s taken me 26 professional fights to seek out nutritional help, and I finally did and it’s made a big change in my weight as far as weight cutting goes.”
What is Jorge Masvidal’s diet?
While Masvidal initially competed in the lightweight, he switched to the welterweight division and has been in some massive fights. It seems moving up a weight division might have given him more freedom to indulge in his favorite food. According to Sports Casting, ‘Gamebred’ does not give up on junk food even while preparing for a fight.
Another person who embraces food is Daniel Cormier. However, he has retired and so the food does not prevent him from making weight like how active fighters need to. Interestingly, while Masvidal absolutely adores his food, he has never missed weight.
