Jorge Masvidal is one of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC. The veteran fighter who has an MMA record of (35-15) saw his resurgence in 2019 as he won three consecutive fights via KO. His victory against Ben Askren was particularly special as he KO’d ‘Funky’ in just 5 seconds.

After defeating Askren, ‘Gamebred’ faced Nate Diaz at the UFC 244 event and won that fight as well. Following his 3 consecutive victories, Masvidal got the opportunity to challenge for the title. He faced Kamaru Usman at UFC 251 for the welterweight title, ‘Gamebred’ ended up losing that fight via a unanimous decision.

The pair met for a rematch at UFC 261, this time Usman won the fight via a 2nd round TKO. After this loss, everyone thought that the rivalry between Usman and Masvidal must have ended. However, it seems like Masvidal wants to face ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ again.

During an interactive Twitter session, Masvidal was asked a question regarding his next fight. ‘Gamebred’ was asked, “If you could fight any current fighter in any weight class who would it be and why?” To this Masvidal was quick to respond with, “Usman.”
