‘Street Jesus‘ reveals that injury concerns and legal issues have kept him from Octagon’s return. Moreover, Gilbert Burns has been calling out Masvidal for months, even claiming that the latter turned down 3 offers to fight him.

Once friends now turned into foes, Masvidal also spoke about charges pressed on him by Covington. He said, “I’ve got numerous things going on, some little b**** out there is trying to hit me over the head with three felonies.”

It is still unclear when Masvidal will return to the Octagon. Until then, his potential opponent, Gilbert Burns, will be facing Neil Magny at UFC 283 in Brazil.
